Never said it was easy,
although this guide claims it is:

Also, if you paid for Games/DLC,
then you're in your right to re-claim those games any way you see fit if Nintendo dares to take them away from you.
Care to explain that last part? As with any drm protected digital purchase, you are buying a license to use their copy not own the content itself. They are absolutely within their right to pull it whenever they see fit, similar to buying movies and tv shows from a service like iTunes or Amazon should the listening deals with the studios run out.
If you buy a copy of something,
then no one should be allowed to steal your copy away from you.
As long as you have the receipt to show that you own a copy of the game,
you should be allowed to play it any way you see fit.
I wish that was how it worked, but that’s not the digital world we live in.

Any way you see fit does not have to mean downloaded from official services.
I won't post links here,
but there are other means of getting the content you rightfully own.
It's not stealing if you already own a copy.
Pirating cracked copies of software you own a digital license to is absolutely not a good solution to go recommending people online as if it’s something that is also easy to do and won’t have ramifications.
