Yes, but only if you want to transfer your Wii and Wii U saves to your new Wii U. A phone call to Nintendo will take of transferring your user ID and all downloaded content. I know, it's mental. :x

Oh, and I'm told the turnaround is 3 weeks to get your consoles back from the transfer process. Who can wait three weeks to play Wind Waker HD?! Unreal.

So for any one that didn't know (I didn't) when you bought the Wind Waker bundle you were automatically enrolled in the Deluxe Digital Promotion. Downloading Wind Waker gives you 499 points, just one point needed to get a $5 credit.

So everyone who sold off their WW code lost out on all those points? Ouch.

Yes, but they wouldn't have gotten them anyway if they never intending to buy a digital version of the game.

My Wii U happy thought for the day: Just realized that Lego City Adventures is a thing and the videos I've seen for it made me order it without blinking last night. I love the sandbox gameplay style of games like GTA or Saints Row but I'm not a huge fan of spending all that time being a drug dealer or murderer. Finally, a sandbox game for me.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?
