So I'm thinking it's time to return my Wii U (have until Jan 24th) as I just can't see the need for it right now and money is a bit tight. Unfortunately one of the first things I did when I got it was transfer my Wii Shop purchases from the Wii over to the Wii U with about $380 worth of purchases to it. I honestly didn't see having any need to return the system but it is what it is. I called Nintendo and after a lengthy discussion with a Supervisor, she basically said either keep it or lose all my purchases...
My Wii still has all the games from the Wii Shop as I did a restore from my NAND which still allows them all to be accessed and played. The limitation though is that if I go into the shop channel at all, it makes them all no longer work (so I can't purchase anything new now) and I have to restore the NAND again. Also, if I ever buy a Wii U in the future again, I won't be able to transfer them back once again. I'm afraid this Wii will eventually break one day and I'd hate to lose access to them for a future transfer.
I know this is all my fault and I'm only asking to see if there's a method to restore the Wii Shop account so it doesn't show all the games as 'transferred to Wii U'. Probably not, but wanted to ask regardless...
If nothing can be done, is there a method out there to basically do a full system backup or clone so that everything I have is copied so I could buy another Wii and restore everything onto it and have basically a clone of this?
