Breaking news, you will need an internet connection to use online features.
On a slightly more interesting note, this confirms that all of the above functions will in fact be available at launch. The 3DS did not have such a convenience.

Well, I would hope the main features of the OS that Nintendo has spent months making a big deal about would be available day one. It's nice to see it confirmed however.

I never bothered to look this up, so quickly, someone answer: Does the WiiU have a ethernet port or is it just WiFi? God I hope it has an ethernet port.

The Wii U is for casuals who can play shitty online games that can have a bagillion seconds of lag.

It's not designed for real gamers who play real games with real internet connections.

Nintendo has no valid excuse for leaving out a port that even fucking DVD players have. Not everyone has an amazing Wi-Fi setup

Oh and the Wii had shit online so don't even, Ninty fanboys.
