That is definitely good news regarding the online infrastructure of the Wii U.

[pastasauce]

Why do we still not know basic stuff like whether there will be voice chat? Instead, they KEEP talking about Miiverse.

[Darth Vader]

That's boss

Social aspects are cool and all (they really are) but I just wanna see how simple it is to add my friends and play with them online

[brianxbang]

Very nice. Does this confirm no friend codes then?

[FelipeGonc]

No Friend Codes were confirmed since last year's E3...

[WesFX]

I've been sitting on some unplayed (but deserving the purchase) WiiWare games, so the Wii U will be the perfect opportunity to play them.

Can't wait to let everyone know about the tons of great WiiWare games when the "What's good on WiiWare" topics spring up.

Guess you missed the debacle yesterday where Nintendo stated they haven't ruled them out.

[Since1776]

Great news! I really think Nintendo is going to hit a home run with the online services this time around.

[LittleKingsWii]

So the report on friend codes return was full of crap?

It also makes me have faith Nintendo might change up for the better with online having to drop something they still seem to support to this day with the 3DS.

[WolfLink22]

There will be voice chat. It's called Video chat lol.

[Chosenoneknuckles]

@Since1776 Agreed.

And though it was touched upon on Sunday's ND, I realise that I really do lovethe idea of marketing games / trends using the number of Mii's on the Miiverse OS home.

Live is plagued with ads. This might be a great non-intrusive way to market things on the Dashboard[s] itself.

[MichMasteR]

so achievements or not?

[player value]

@WesFX
The list is really long but i like making list, so maybee i can create one someday (and no i'm not Sheldon Cooper!!!)

[The_King_Up_North]

I'm hoping there's a way to turn off the pop-up messages from others within games. I think I'll get annoyed by them after the first week, honestly.

-consumers will be able to purchase downloadable titles

WOW. not only can we purchase titles, but we can purchase DOWNLOADABLE titles.

this is news? i'm glad they announced this feature for e-shop. i thought e-shop was just for buying shoes.

-consumers will be able to purchase downloadable titles

WOW. not only can we purchase titles, but we can purchase DOWNLOADABLE titles.

Dear God Nintendo is revolutionizing the way we purchase and download downloadable media.

Why do we still not know basic stuff like whether there will be voice chat? Instead, they KEEP talking about Miiverse.

so much this. why don't we know if our purchases are tied to our hardware or not. they haven't answered any of the basic questions. which says to me they don't think we will like the answers.

12 profiles yay. woo.

[Hisiru]

12 profiles? Woow... Nintendo is serious this time.

Now I want more information about the achievement system and social elements.

great first post. plenty of inspiring info.

[Star Luigi]

And they gave us that lackluster conference? The hell Ninty? You're supposed to annoounce stuff like this when everyone is watching you. But instead we get SiNG, 10minutes of WB, 14-ish minutes of Ubisoft and tons of talking. And no big reveals and almost nothing to justify a purchase on launch day. -_-

/post-conference rant

[Tejada]

big reveals

P100

And after reading various threads online; Zombi U, P100, Mario, Pikmin, and Rayman are definitely worthy system sellers.

[Daz]

I'm predicting Nintendo will be able to make a online experience that isnt as frustrating as Sony's PSN or whatever its called now. I don't expect it to be better than Xbox Live but we will see.

[Star Luigi]

@Tejada

P-100 is a big reveal? Or ZombieU? Or a Mario cash-in we already knew existed? Or Pikin 3 (which while cool was already know about and isn't something huge)? Rayman Legends?

I think you may need to look at the likes of Halo 4 for what a big reveal is. Though the game was known about, THAT is what calls forth Xbox owners to purchases and makes their conference worth watching for its fans (and I'm not even on) Nintendo had nothing like that. They had absolutely nothing worth watching other than Pikmin 3. And don't give me that entitlement crap, please. 'o.o
