Both of my favourite games that I love (New Leaf and Pokemon X) are digital and I'm afraid of... well, whatever. I wish there was a way to backup our saves.

For the Wii U, you could do a backup as long as you still own the same console. If you want to transfer to a different Wii U console, you'll need to wait for quite some time until Nintendo comes up with a proper update. If you're desperate, call a Nintendo rep and see if you can transfer everything to the new system.
As of now, I recommend to continue favoring physical retail games, because you'd save more space for your Wii U's onboard memory and waste less time transferring/copy your saved datas to a USB media (preferably powered USB hard drives). An oversight done by Nintendo is that you're forced to copy/move everything that whatever app/game had created, as opposed to separately copy/move just some of the files from one app/game.
