tied to the console. Sell the console or the console breals you lose your games. Where as other services games are tied to your account not the hardware.

The downloads are tied to the NNID and the NNID is tied to the console. If something happens e.g your console breaks, you send it to your country's Nintendo and they have the way to transfer the NNID to another console

Or transfer the eshop account to a new console.

Still should not be handicapped as it is. Steam on my new PC in 2012 still was able to download games I bought in 2008. Stop making people jump through not good hoops Nintendo.

Your NNID is your ID. You can see all the games you've purchased on both 3DS and Wii u from one console. Surely there's some override switch where you can link a new console to your NNID and shut down the old console if it ever connects again?
