No when the eshop closes you will still be able to download anything bought before the closure as is the case with DSI and Wii. It would also be illegal for Nintendo to remove your eshop purchases from your console. And how would that even work anyway all you would have to do is remove the internet connection from the WiiU before the closure then they would have no way to delete the games.
oh, okay cool i see.
so since the game is on my system, i'm safe even if nintendo closes the eshop, nice.
yeah, that's one way to be 100% safe, you'll still be in homebrew mode, by removing the internet connection
thanx for the info, amanda
i hadn't thought of removing the internt info to be totally safe,
thanx for the tip

shame that the wii u doesn't have a flip wifi switch like on 3ds.
but, if i leave my internt connetion active, even if the eshop is gone, i won't lose my homebrew entrypoint?
i wonder if nintendo will update the wii u past 5.5.5? or is 5.5.5 the final wii u os update (i hope it is). lol
