Nintendo says its "working on a solution" to Wii storage issue {Engadget}

"I just recently re-bought a Wii. Primarily for Mario Galaxy. I thought i would be able to re-download all my previously downloaded VC titles 'cause i figgured it was associated with my Nintendo account. NOPE. Nintendo told me I had to re-purchase them all. What a crock of dookie." -Ostego_Undead
He makes a very good point. At the very least Nintendo should do what Microsoft did and link your NWFC account to your Nintendo Online account and then link all your downloads to that account as opposed to the system itself.

Jun 18th 2008 3:08PM So, continuing, I do think Nintendo made a mistake with the VC and WiiWare stuff because they didn't realize that people would download so much there wouldn't be enough memory on the system for it. The whole situation is kind of screwed up, and Nintendo has dug themselves a nice hole. Whatever they do now will eventually be used as a back door for homebrewers, and then their VC will basically go out of business because of the homebrew emulators that will be released.

Jun 18th 2008 3:06PM I think it's all well and good that they're trying to resolve this, however, I think they're in over their heads. The Wii was originally meant to be a simple console.
SIMPLE, PEOPLE!
Hardcore gamers who are hell-bent on downloading everything they can get their hands on would be better suited on a different system. The PS3 and 360 are made for games like GH and Rock Band, games that have massive amounts of DLC. The Wii is made for other games like Wii Sports, Wii Play, Super Smash Bros, etc. Nintendo did not originally intend to make the Wii a platform for games requiring a lot of memory, and so do not expect them to come out with a complete solution to this problem.

IDK about the PS3, but I can help you with the 360. You see, you can re-download whatever you like if you've bought it before with your XBL account signed in. HOWEVER, to sign in to your XBL account on another 360, you have to completely migrate it. This means that you can't have your account stored on multiple 360s at once. Also, the content is locked to the original system you DL it on, and you can play it on other consoles just as long as ur XBL account is signed in on that 360. So this means that you can't download it on another system and leave it there while going back home and playing. Things get a bit hairy, however, if you get a new system. In this case, even thought you have the same HD and XBL account, you will ALWAYS have to be signed into XBL to use your downloaded content. I like the way Microsoft does this, even though there is a problem like that. Realistically, though, the way Microsoft handles the DRM problem on their 360 is probably the easiest way to deal with.
