Ubisoft’s Uplay service affords a variety of functionality. It acts as a digital distribution platform, as well as a multiplayer and achievement tracker that has been used in mos to the company’s recent games.
Uplay won’t be compatible with Wii U immediately. But according to Ubisoft president Yves Guillemot, he’s hoping it’ll be ready sometime after launch.
“We hope to have a good connection with their systems because Nintendo has been very open to us and allowed us to use our systems to communicate with our customers.”

Along with the review of the overall game, GamesMaster provided individual write-ups and ratings for each mini-game included in Nintendo Land. Reader joclo typed up that information from the magazine – see below.
Animal Crossing Sweet Day – 5/5
“Sweet Day may look like it’s saccharine simplicity – but there’s a raw tactical edge beneath the happy smiles.”
The Legend of Zelda Battle Quest – 3/5

Wii U has an “automatic shutoff” feature, can be adjusted
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
When playing the Wii U for the first time, you should be aware of the console’s “automatic shutoff” feature. This appears to be enabled from the start.
If you don’t adjust the setting, your Wii U will turn off “if there has been no input for a set period of time” – including pause time while playing a game. It’s automatically set to shut down after an hour, it seems.
You can change the setting in the system options. It’s possible to turn it off completely, or adjust the amount of “idle time” before the system shuts down.
