"Nintendo will be adding a Wii U cloud storage feature for the new console sometime in 2013, according to a source. Following the trend of cloud storage, Nintendo is said to be working on a cloud storage solution for the Wii U via the new Nintendo Network. The new cloud storage option would give 512 MB of online storage to each gamer, tied to his Nintendo Network profile. The cloud storage system is said to be exclusively for save games and player profile data.

The Wii U cloud is currently in development but will launch sometime in 2013 in Japan, followed by a worldwide roll-out. Nintendo is reportedly working with Seattle, WA-based Mozy, Inc., which has been offering cloud and backup storage for consumers since 2005. A source from within Mozy tells Wii U Daily that the company was approached by Nintendo in 2010, but that work on the service began in late 2012. The Wii U cloud will be seamlessly integrated into the Wii U channels and will be tied to the specific Wii U user account.

Nintendo’s main competitors, Sony and Microsoft, both offer cloud storage for save games and user files, the latter offering 512 MB free via Xbox Live.

Nice!.

If this is true, this would be really nice.

[Hank Hill]

If it's free, that's great. If it's optional but costs money, that's great too.

The reason why I haven't bothered with cloud storage on PSN, you need Playstation Plus to access it.

[The Last Mellon]

Brilliant! more features added to nintendo network is good

[Keviin]

Good because they're going with the times. Don't see much other good things in it.

[Alph]

This is excellant news!

[Bane]

Sounds like a good and smart move to me.

[ArnarFB]

So, work on it began in the future?

[Chinomanila]

Nice, this is a smart move by Nintendo since everybody is already doing it now.

If this is free and true then this is awesome.

[EternalDeadman]

If this is free and true then this is awesome.

Yeah definitely! Lets hope it's not tied to a subscription, like the ps360.

[uPadWatcher2]

That's a very wise and strategic move for the Big N. Let's hope it materializes worldwide next year... courtesy of the Nintendo Network.

[Nin_Stream]

Ehh...I dont support the original Cloud lol so this has nothing to benifit for me.

[AndyG]

Needs more storage in my opinion.
If they want to have a strong hold on the digital downloads market they really need to up the capacity.
All though i don't have a big enough internet cap to use it so....yeah.

[Holloweaver]

all good and swell but i hope it will be a bit more then 512Mb

[dagwood dang]

So, work on it began in the future?

Yeah, I'm a little confused on that 'late 2012' thing, myself. Can someone explain, or is that just a typo? Did they mean late 2011?

Good idea but....

That's awesome! I'm getting the feeling that nintendo is starting to take a step towards apple.

[jono]

It's WiiUDaily.... so I doubt it's true. It'd be awesome if it is, though!
