I'm pretty sure that you can keep playing these digital games until your console breaks down. In such a case you need Nintendo's help to transfer your games to another Wii U.

aka when they don't do that anymore, your digital games are stuck on your current Wii U and when that breaks down, it's over. Same is true for PS4, and also true for PS3. You always depend on the corporations giving you permission.

Of course you can install homebrew and keep actual backups of your games in that case to protect yourself, but that's a gray area.
