"It's pretty much a given that Nintendo will create some kind of user ID system on the Wii U console, and we've had further evidence from UK retailer GAME.
The company's mobile application for iOS now has a field requesting a "Nintendo ID" - and it's nestled right next to the "PSN" and "XBOX Live Tag" ID fields.
Nintendo has so far kept its cards very close to its chest regarding online plans for the Wii U, but it's safe to assume that some retailers will have been briefed on what is in store - so this is a fairly solid indication that the Nintendo ID is becoming a reality."

I just hope they get rid of the friend code system, if that happens then we know that it will be good.

Hope its true, from what we know they already did the voice chat wrong, so let's hope they did something right in terms of online.

I wonder how this would work though, would each account be having its own Mii? Or would each account have how ever many Mii's and you would need to switch which Mii your on each time you log in. This stuff confuses me!!! Nintendo we need details!

An ID can easily be a friend code.

I have a gut feeling it's gonna come true. The more info we get to know about the Wii U and Nintendo Network, the brighter the future.

The upcoming Nintendo Direct will answer all our questions.

What I hope though? It's a Unified Account System shared between 3DS and Wii U, similar to PS3 and Vita/PSP unified PSN account system, I think that's how it works? Lol
I am the foot. I do not like you. You smother me with socks and shoes, then step on me thousands of times a day.

We foot will rebel one day.

That's what I'm afraid of, but won't be surprised at. I'm not expecting much improvement, but we'll see where this goes.

Something puzzles me though. Why would Nintendo want us to have a username in the Profile section of System Settings? I don't really see it being used anywhere except for Download Play. Nintendo must have a reason for it being there.

I wouldn't doubt this for a second. As to why we still don't know crap about the Wii U's online system?
I dunno... Nintendo likes trains probably.

Be wary, the suck is coming.

I hope this is all true too, I hated friend codes to the core.

They had a username setting in the DS as well.

True. I just wanna know what it was used for in the DS and DSi, and what it is currently being used for in the 3DS.

Capcom IDs in Monster Hunter Tri were 6-character combinations of letters and numbers. However, if Nintendo gave us a universal friend code with the 3DS, I wonder what they'll really do with the Wii U. I want the Nintendo ID or whatever to be user-created, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
