Not to mention burning Reggie and Iwata while promoting Art academy at the same time.
Doesn't sound like you can video chat while playing a game which kinda sucks.
Didn't notice this on the Japanese version, but you can save any Mii that appears on the plaza. Hoping Mii sharing is as easy as it is with the 3DS.
ahaha, Bill is the man.
Yeah video chatting on the gamepad while playing on the TV would have been awesome. Disappoint.

Miiverse is so fucking ugly
I hope that they announce a global voice chat and how the achievement will work with miiverse.
Maybe this can be better. But i like that Miiverse is about games and people who play those games and what gamers what to share with others.

Not even close. It's just some game icons surrounded by dumb looking dolls walking around.

Sounds kind of distracting to me.I would rather just have voice chat while gaming.
Yeah maybe. Well it's probably not something I would use much either way. Just sounds like a good idea in my head.
Though, with that said, I always thought the little video feed of other players that appear in games like Star Fox 64 3D were cute. Even if it wasn't video chat, that might've been nice -- maybe it can be implemented on a game-by-game basis.
It's apparent you don't like Miis in the first place. I actually like the way Miiverse looks.

Awwwwwwwww, aint that the darnedest thing.
Anyways, this whole "Die and comment" system looks kinda cool, but man, how aggravating would it be to die in the same spot over and over, and then you get a pop-up saying 'oh ho, seems you are stuck, trollolol, would you like to comment on it?'
True
Nice catch!

Better than a bunch of boring squares full of adverts or the cluttered mess that is the XMB. Looks really slick and fun.

Can't wait for the WaraWara Pizza cross-promotion with Pizza Hut.
I like the concept of it, with new posts to read/ funny people to follow everytime you boot the console. The music though... I much preferred the wii menu one.
Anyone know?
That's pretty much what SiNG Party is
I doubt it, because afaik the Pro Controller doesn't have any motion sensors.

WOW @ that deluxe unboxing, beautiful! And Iwata is as funny as ever.
So VC/Wii Ware transfer won't be day one or we will know per a news update soon on the site, is that right?

Awesome. Alll I ask is Queen to be on the tracklist.
Eh, SiNG Party adds in a bunch of dancing gimmicks that're kind of stupid to be honest. Plus, if they were to bring that service over it'd probably have an infinitely larger song selection (due to it being all online vs a disc priced at $50/$60). We don't even know what the track list is for SiNG Party or if it'll even have DLC. Considering the game launches in less than 2 weeks it's kind of ridiculous.
The video in the thread for NSMBU shows that the GamePad can do a spin jump with a shoulder button. I'm pretty sure that the Pro Controller should have no problems with the game.

listen to the mad man
My ten second impression is that everything we heard is good, but there are still things we didn't hear -- can Nintendo Network IDs be used on multiple consoles? What about users? Can this be done simultaneously, or just one at a time? How does the DRM apply to multiple consoles? Or will Nintendo be continuing the "manual transfer" process, where as long as you have two consoles, you can do a transfer process, but if your console is stolen or lost, no dice or you have to deal with Nintendo.
I'm not really impressed with "Nintendo Network can link to per-developer networks." One of the worst things about PS360 is allowing developers to make their own shitty networks. No one wants uPlay or Origin or Konami Metal Gear Online Clusterfuck deluxe. I know Nintendo needs to make friends with other devs/pubs and that's the #1 priority, but it's also important to keep standards as rigorous as possible and ball-bust publishers who try to pull bullshit.

Can u voice chat in game? Or do u have to pause the game and switch to the voice chat app?
Didn't think Mario required motion, I know you can hit a button to fly higher.
There is still tilting involved in certain levels I believe. They had bits where tilting was involved in NSMB Wii as well. They could technically put tilting on ZR and ZL but they probably thought it was cumbersome or something.
Hm well my mistake if so, I thought you still needed to use waggle for that.
Ah, really. I haven't looked into it too much to be honest.

Who?
I would have to believe that if they're giving you the option of pressing a button to spin jump on the controller that does have gyros built in, that they're making sure that a Pro Controller would be able to do the same things without them.
I guess we really need someone to find the back of NSMBU's box soon.

Well, Microsoft and Sony tried ballbusting. In the end, it didn't work. Publishers still wanted to do their own thing. They did. uPlay, EA origin, steamworks, etc, all gained some ground. As long as the eShop is the primary place to purchase digital games, I think it's good.
Glenn Beck hates Wii U and Obama. Why am I not surprised?

Cool quick look at the menu there. So Wii games are launched by a separate menu option?
