I've downloaded some virtual console games but never linked my Wii up with an account, if I were to do so now would they transfer?

Or is Nintendo's Customer Service good enough that if something were to damage my Wii they would be to move them to a new system? If so, what information would I need to supply?

I bought a few games before I linked my account, and they do not show up on my account. As far as getting repaired, you don't need to have your accounts linked in order to keep the games you've purchased. The VC/WiiWare shop is linked to the Wii, so if you send it in and they have to replace the whole thing, they'll just transfer the account to the new Wii, You'll have to redownload them all, of course, but you won't have to purchase them again. All the linking is purely for the benefit of your mynintendo account. It does nothing for your actual VC "account".

Thank you for clearing that up.

On another note is there anything really worth while you get for linking a My Nintendo account?
