    Worse than that. You bought software licenses specific to that Wii, not to an online account. If it died, you lost all your purchases.

      Yes that’s right, and I realised I could no longer be a historic game hardware collector with that generation of consoles which killed my main hobby at the time. Years of Nintendo loyalty and, dare I say it, fandom, were betrayed and the Wii itself was just awful.
