Rumour: Nintendo Network in the works

[Midna]

Nintendo should have did this a while ago.

It's good news to show that they're catching up on things... but I don't really play games online so it's not a big deal to me.

Then again, it's just a rumor.

exactly, i don't care about online gaming that much either, and that is why i liked nintendo for that reason (they never cared about online that much), now they are going all the way their quality of games will suffer because of it.

That's one of the weirdest comments I have seen recently. How does new online system = bad games?

And anyway, this new system is supposed to handle digital purchases and DLC as well.

Didn't some other game use the term "Nintendo Network"? I feel like I've seen this before...

Not a different game, but what you saw might have been Soulx making a report on this not to long ago

How will it suffer if Nintendo's trying to improve their service?

games especially 1st party ones will have online passes, rip off dlc and forced online multiplayer, i am a older gamer i like and will always enjoy the older way games were played, i don't expect younger generations to understand any of my logic but that is just the way it is.

And what if it has no online passes, optional online multiplayer, free non-day 1 DLC?

If you're implying that because something has more features that the other features will suffer, that's unreasonable.

Edit: Since when has anything had "forced" online multiplayer?
Edit 2: I don't even. I have no counter argument for something so ridiculous.

I think what he means is, since Nintendo is focusing on online much more then their games will go the way of something like cod
and have their games focus on the multiplayer part and come short on the single player part. In a sense, (I guess) you force
to go online since the single player wouldn't be that good.

I didn't think Nintendo will do online passes, rip-off dlc nor damage single player games with the online part.

cannot imagine nintendo following suit and doing online passes or rip off dlc, i imagine those features would be in there to appeal more to the 3rd party developers though

This could be interesting. Still, without much in the way of information right now, it's a bit too early to judge.

That's all in the hands of the publishers, not Sony, Microsoft, or (potentially) Nintendo. Microsoft is pretty strict about payment for DLC, but that's as close as it seems to get.

I hope they have online connection between the 3DS and Wii U.
And have cross game voice chat so I can voice chat with someone playing the Wii U while playing Mario Kart 7 on the 3DS.

What bullshit. I hope I can crossplay MK7 with MK Wii U in addition to X game chat.

Still, sounds impossible

Isn't this a bit late? PSN and Xbox Live seems to have far better support and functionality.

That's why people say it must have something unique.

Isn't that reason enough that Nintendo shouldn't stay behind?

Can it include a better messaging system? Swapnote is tedious when you can only reply once.

Works fine for me, although I can't understand anything it says.

Welcome to what, 2007? Well better later than never I guess. Hopefully not too much paid DLC though, God I hate that shit.
