It all seems like a very strange move from Nintendo, given its biggest competitors Xbox and PlayStation offer online cloud storage, and make it easy to physically swap content between systems.
You read stuff like this and it drives home the fact that Nintendo just doesn't get it. They act like they are stuck in 1992, and haven't paid any attention to trends in the console market since the SNES days. They're going to do their own thing which I appreciate, but they're going to do it with underpowered hardware and minus many standard features that became an expectation a console generation ago.
Until about a month ago, I had no idea that Wii U e-shop purchases were tied to the console. That literally blew my mind.

Kind of my main gripe with nintendo. I'll take the gimmicks, I'll take their systems being underpowered, but just make the functionality make sense. Make it work.
Not enough internal storage? Buy an SD card.
OK. More money, but memory is cheap, I suppose.
Wait, what? I can't move data? This zelda save file can only be played on this machine????
And you know what, that personally wouldn't bother me too much because I don't see myself going between multiple consoles, but why do they avoid something so basic as a cloud service, a feature that would make the SD card issues a moot point? It's either oversight (inexcusable) or flat out arrogance, "our machine doesn't need that option".
