None of the other online 3DS games even had the Wi-Fi symbol did they?

Nope. Since launch there has been 3DS online games, but aside a small mention in the back as "Internet", nothing else.

 

[Rapstah]

Guys, it's Nintendo. It's obviously a separate service alongside Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and the other five systems, this one exclusively for DLC.

NINTENDO NETWORK HACKED

 

[monome]

Name is ok.

but Nintendo's design is too much akin to P&G as in too plasticky and deduced of elegance.
It works but damn me if they couldn t do better.

Spoiler

It's an old running joke.

Well considering half of GAF missed E3 and were getting their Wii U rage on during CES, I couldn't be sure!

 

[Phonomezer]

First downloadable demos. Now a Nintendo Network

WHAT IS THIS? IS THIS REAL LIFE?

What is this, 2005?

 

[radioheadrule83]

It's also used for this: http://3dphoto-contest.nintendonetwork.net/

From that thread:

I was surprised nobody else in that thread thought that was curious... Now we know a bit more! Interesting!

The crushing reality sets in :/

The Wii also has an identical port

Spoiler

By the way, I built a sensor bar myself back in the day.

 

[Christine]

No, because they had all sorts of weird logo's that didn't fit together during those days. They dumped all that(Touch Generations, blah blah) shit recently.

They've discarded some of those, but it's not as if they've established any sort of unified style guide. The Club Nintendo logo is still kicking around.

Look at the menu icons on the 3DS; are you telling me that this is the one that would stick out as being "one of these things is not like the others" if it was a button in that context?

 

[Levyne]

Why not use one of the usb ports and an adapter?

Sure, not pretty but when I look behind my tv and see the mess of cords already there I'm not sure I'll mind.

Or I'll just use wifi.

Doom just reminded me that you've been following Wii U since Project Cafe so I feel really silly now.

The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection is dead if I remember correctly and had been restructured into Nintendo Network.

 

[wsippel]

I know it just doesn't seem to fit with any of the current fonts/logo styles they use.

Same style, same font:

 

[SMT]

I so hate wifi, you have no idea, I want a cat6 input right out of the box.
But it seems with Nintendono we can want all we like, however we may never get.

Except Nintendo Wi Fi doesn't exist anymore. It's not nintendo. It's Gaf.

 

[Glass Joe]

I can't believe the 3DS doesn't have a trophy/achievement system. Not that it should be a huge deal, but I like systems giving me a note and a gold star saying I beat a game. Pipe dream I know, but maybe this will be part of a better-late-than-never plan to implement something (the Mii Plaza update started toying with the concept in the last update).

 

[JimboJones]

Buy the USB ethernet adapter? Should be built in I agree but the adapter aint hard to find if you really want a wired connection.

Seems like a rebrand to me, fits with the lower case e in the eShop, same color too thoughwhy they waited this long I don't know.
One can only hope they plan to unify the 3DS and WiiU networks and shop in some way maybe link 3DS account to your WiiU or somthing, would be nice..

Buy the adapter along with your console?

 

[LOCK]

Well seems we will get some sort of news next week.

That's great, but I doubt anything will be Wii U related (setting expectations low so I can be surprised if we do get something).

 

[jonezer4]

They are getting rid of using numbers and are now using stool samples to identify users.

Toadstool samples.

Introducing nintendo network points!*

*not compatible with Wii points or eshop funds.

The way Wii tanked I think we will get something if only to keep stocks from crashing completely when they post another loss.

 

[Zoramon089]

That logo is quite shitty I must say. A lowercase N and a thingy that looks like an RSS feed(the orange gives that vibe too). Is Nintendo going for a full rebrand with a new logo or what's that weird N doing there?

I could see Nintendo go full on Apple/HP on us and brand all their shit with a lowercase N.

You really like jumping to conclusions, don't you?

 

[def sim]

It does look somewhat like an RSS feed sign. heh

Anyway, it's nice they gave a name to their network. Hopefully they have a fully fledged online service by the time the WiiU is out.

 

[StevieP]

Wii's had a normal console cycle.

See above lol

 

[[Nintex]]

I think Nintendo expected a little bit more from their 5 year in development best Zelda ever.

 

[J@hranimo]

Nintendo is making strides babysteps towards a better network I presume. I hope so.

 

[Vagabundo]

Well considering half of GAF missed E3 and were getting their Wii U rage on during CES, I couldn't be sure!

It hails from the original Wii reveal. Back in the day..

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Yep. Hopefully WiiU offers a wired option out of the box.

You're talking about Nintendo.

They saved 18 cents though.

 

[Uno Venova]

See now I'm more concerned about the final model having an ethernet port.

 

[StevieP]

Zelda team was late. The rest had already moved onto next gen (3DS, Wii U development)

See now I'm more concerned about the final model having an ethernet port.

$10. Enjoy

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Don't forget they've been dabbling in what they call "Accomplishments" as of the newest version of 3DS Mii Plaza!


Gimme dem Zelda trophies, bitches!

 

[Busaiku]

The one labeled sensor bar in the image you quoted?

Unlocks Super mode.

 

[Meier]

logo is terrible.

Looks pretty clever to me.

Yeh, but we still dont know what the orange port was for on the original wii.

 

[Geek]

Yeh, but we still dont know what the orange port was for on the original wii.

And we never will.

So drop it... if you know what's good for you.

Are we clear?

 

[Easy_D]

Must be rebranding / restructuring of their online service. I mean it has Network in the name and the traditional Wifi ))'s

 

[Neo Child]

$10 a month

What about the little door on the front faceplate? Is the secret it conceals similarly verboten?

Same style, same font:

Indeed.

And I like the logo! It's cute and communicative.

You didn't know? That's where you put more RAM to improve the graphics in all the games!

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

These are times of resignation for the company, and signs of victory for gamers. Here's hoping for cross-platform integration. WiiU + 3DS lovin'.

Gotta get the cross-platform system in place in time for Smash Bros Wii U/3DS!

 

[abstract alien]

That sounds more promising, in name anyway.

NOPE

This just made me realize you can't stand the system up like the wii.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Or else Sakurai, because he's the man with the plan.

 

[watershed]

Interesting news, but its probably just a replacement for "Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection".

Edit: It might be related to games that have paid dlc, so maybe Nintendo Network is the DLC delivery method or something.

 

[Akai]

Not the final design...
