Access your Wii U account anywhere, digital content possibility tied in

Because the Wii U is making use of an account system, there’s a lot of flexibility in terms of accessing settings and other content at any time.

Cindy Gordon, vice-president of corporate affairs at Nintendo of America, has said that this functionality will allow you to “to access your account anywhere.” So if you’re visiting a friend’s house, you should be able to retrieve your profile on that system.

Gordon’s response was actually about playing games on another Wii U. Based on her comments, it sounds like digital content could be tied to your account. That would certainly be a step in the right direction for Nintendo, its online plans, and its approach to non-retail offerings.
