As far as I'm aware you can't. From what I've read your Nintendo ID is tied to the console it was created on and cannot be transferred to or shared with another console.

This is why I will laugh forever at all the people that bought all their games/content on eShop.

I have sold my Wii U, so if I deleted you from NN before I sold it, or haven't accepted your friend request since, this is why.

MS and Sony ties things to your account and not your hardware. For some reason Nintendo does not do this. I hope someday Nintendo will start listening to its customers.

You send it in for repair and if you need to transfer it to a new console then hopefully Nintendo will do that for you. Nintendo hasn't stated officially what will happen in a situation like this.
