Wait, this is the WiiU, not the Switch.
Now this thread is suddenly more interesting.
Nintendo doesn't have VC out for Switch yet, I am assuming.
Honest question: has Nintendo ever honored digital purchases across platforms?
I don't think they built the infrastructure for it (not that they would want to, if folks are willing to re-purchase games).
Anyway...just curious. Obviously, I believe that Nintendo should honor past digital purchases, simply as a matter of principal. I know there is little incentive to do this, unless enough parents complained. But even then....

If you purchased a VC title on Wii and want it on Wii U you can transfer them over. I never did because I prefer them on my CRT. But you can only have them in one place. Then if the title was upgraded you can purchase the upgrade for a small consideration.

Ok, that seems like a reasonable way to deal with it for "most folks" (who abandon older consoles for the shiny new one), but it stinks for folks who like to keep older consoles around.
Still, at least it is a step in the right direction (this *is* Nintendo, after all...)
However, it falls far short of the way it *should* work: multiple devices can simultaneously play the game (a reasonable number of licenses provided, by default...with ability to transfer a license at future dates).

Next Up: I wonder if Nintendo will honor Wii VC --> Switch VC digital purchases?
