Depends on what resources Nintendo wants to put into a service that is basically dead. If you ask me, 13 years is way past its time. Otherwise, it's a pretty weak stick to beat Nintendo with. Just redownload all or hack it. That's it.

They are self to be blamed, every Wii U is BC with the Wii store unless you dont have a wii mote conected. They should be able to move every wii download game on the Wii U store, and most could be played with the gamepad as not everyone needs a wiimote. 

But of course they dont because they are completley incompetent, or they plan to close down the wiiu store soon enough too. Nintendo cant be trusted to buy digital games on

No. Just no. They would have to ask for the rights of every game (non-Nintendo mind you) to move over to another platform. Which is funny, because the WiiU is dead (and no longer in production), so why in flying F would they move any game over. It's ridiculous.

Your final part is baffling and it's clear you have something against Nintendo. Why are they completely incompetent when A: They have limited resources, resources that they maybe don't want to waste on dead systems and B: have a very successful new system. Stop dude.

Lol, people on the internet can literally get angry about anything it seems. Who cares, the Wii is dead. If you haven't bought the games by now you never would've.

This isn't happening until 2019 though. So over twelve years after the Wii launches they finally shut down the eshop and people are mad about it?

Ofcourse... there's alot non Wii/Wii-U owners out there who gonna rage about this :)

Behold, legitimacy for emulation. Without it, these games would be lost.

Well, it had to happen eventually. They can't keep it running on the Wii forever.

How do you know do you work for Nintendo? And why you care for them?

I'm not quite sure what you mean...?

I actually refrain from buying stuff on Nintendo platforms because I don't trust them.

I know people will argue GFW and OG Xbox shut down. But those didn't have significant support. Meanwhile the life of the 360's market has been expanded thanks to BC, some titles are even getting added.

Same here. That is the bigger part of the reason i am pissed Switch is taking over Vita support.
