You should be able to. Last time I checked a month or so ago, the Wii Shop Channel was still up, you just couldn't buy new games, it would only let you download ones you've already bought.

this is true. nintendo advertised that they were closing the eshop for months to give us plenty of time to download games and content we wanted to keep before it was closed.

I didnt get anything mentioning it. Plus doubt I would have had enough space to store everything anyway.

is there anyway to save digital games on an external hard drive?

that's what I do with my PS4, but I guess in the future if I ever move to a different PS4/new PS5, I might face the same issue.

You should be able to still download any games you have purchased

not really an issue with PC. even if steam went under you'd be able to find alternative ways to download games you own but no longer have access to.
