Satoru Iwata outlined how the Wii U’s account system will work during today’s Japanese Nintendo Direct.
One of the first things you’ll do on the console is make a user account. Up to twelve users with the own Miis can be registered per system.
Once created, you can tie-in game settings, save data, browser bookmarks, and play history to your account.
To get involved with features such as video chat, you’ll need a Nintendo Network ID. This is made up of a username, password, email, date of birth info, and gender. Downloadable purchases made by one Nintendo Network user can be played by other users on the same console.
For those wondering what Satoru Iwata was saying…
– WaraWara Plaza is the name of the square
– On Miiverse, there are game icons with players around each, who are talking about the game
– Line-up of icons on the GamePad; can switch between this and Miiverse
– You find out what other players are playing at powerup
– Channel-like UI
This will begin in just under 15 minutes. The presentation will last 35 minutes, and it will be followed by additional content for roughly 18 minutes.
Sonic Drift 2 will be hitting the Japanese eShop as a Game Gear download on November 14 for 300 yen. Screenshots of the game can be found above.
Scooby Doo characters aren’t really in Scribblenauts Unlimited. Neither are Mortal Kombat or Batman characters. But by using the game’s object creator, you can bring them all to the Wii U (and PC) version.
Screenshots of the object creator-made Warner Bros. characters can be found above.
