With the Wii U dropping this weekend, Nintendo has finally detailed the system's online capabilities. Come check out the new Nintendo Network IDs!
This is somewhat reassuring, though I have to wonder if you can have multiple NNIDs per system, or if it's just the one. I don't think it would be a big deal for me if it were just the one, but I have to imagine that in a family situation with some older kids, each one would want their own to go online with.
I guess we'll see come this weekend. Of course, we still have to verify that online play even works alright, but I'm hoping that's a given.
Yeah, you can have up to 12 NNID's on one system if im not mistaken.
EXCITE! EXCITE! EXCITE!
I remember bananas with one big Nintendo Direct. This time, we saw the observation of an orange.
Nintendo is making this a theme. Would this be a simple viral marketing attempt, or are they hinting at something? If it's the latter, would it be the fruit in Pikmin 3, or something else?
DAT ORANGE!!!
It's nice to see Nintendo finally get their online act together, and even nicer to see them go the Sony route and allow online play without an additional fee.
I think this needs to be the model going forward. Online access and basic features for no cost, but significant added value for paid plans, ala PS Plus.
Huh? You could already play online for free on the Wii. Granted it was basic compared to the HD consoles, but it was there.
Obviously. But doing away with friend codes, having an integrated online experience that works smoothly across all games is a huge step forward for Nintendo. And the large number of new features included with the Nintendo Network at no cost puts Sony and Microsoft on warning for their new consoles as consumers will expect more from those machines out of the box than they did with the 360 and PS3.
