If you are looking to back up your games or play them on Cemu, here is the general workflow.

Because the Wii U NUS is accessible via standard internet protocols (HTTP), a vibrant community of preservationists emerged to build tools known as NUS Downloaders.

These tools (such as NUSGrabber and Wii U USB Helper) allowed users to input a Title ID and download the raw game files directly to a PC, bypassing the console entirely. This created a fascinating legal gray area:

To the average consumer, the Wii U was a commercial failure—a console caught between the casual success of the Wii and the explosive popularity of the Nintendo Switch. However, to data archivists, hackers, and preservationists, the Wii U represents a watershed moment in digital history.

At the core of this interest is the NUS (Nintendo Update Server). While the Wii U hardware is largely retired, its digital footprint on the NUS remains a fascinating case study in proprietary file systems, the evolution of digital rights management (DRM), and the battle for video game preservation. This report explores the hidden architecture of the "Wii U NUS," explaining why a defunct server farm is still one of the most interesting topics in modern computing.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the Wii U NUS is the "Console Within a Console."

The Wii U NUS hosts not just Wii U games, but the vWii (Virtual Wii) system and the Virtual Console library. The NUS contains the injection data for NES, SNES, N64, and GBA games. Because the NUS architecture allows for "Injecting" ROMs into official Nintendo emulators, the NUS became a laboratory for homebrew developers. They would download the official N64 emulator wrapper from the NUS, replace the game data, and repackage it. This unintended use of the NUS infrastructure allowed users to play games on the Wii U that Nintendo never officially released.
