I'm all for reduction in waste but I have one good question for you.  What happens when my Wii U which has my Wii file transfer dies?  My VC, WiiWare games are gone.  Does that sound future proof?

I would say contact Nintendo and ask for them to restore it for you. I personally think the Wii U was terrible, and I bought very little for it, so you’re not going to get me defending it. I don’t like that VC migration was handled so poorly. The one major thing I wanted from the Wii era is a continuation of that virtual console. But Steam and Switch EShop catalogues are recoverable and will likely remain so for the foreseeable future, both companies are attempting a form of permanence for their libraries going forward.

Well I transferred all those WiiWare and VC from my Wii to my Wii U.  Wii shop is closed so there is nothing Nintendo can do if it ever dies.  They would say I'm out of luck.  Not worried though only had one Nintendo console die on me and that was because I put my GameCube in luggage and not carry on.  Never make that mistake and I should have known better way people throw around luggage at airports.
