Nintendo Network ID:
So, does everyone have their own username?
Let's say, for example, if I got a Wii U on launch day, would I be able to get loads of ID's?
In other words, is it pretty much exactly the same as PSN ID?

Wii U Chat:
I can't tell whether you're able to talk using the microphone, this has probably been answered loads but...
Can you speak to each other on Wii U Chat using the in-built gamepad microphone?

Question 1: Yes
Question 2: Yes, but not while your in another app such as a game ect.

Okay, so you have to quit your game to answer a call?
Hopefully most games will have some sort of auto-save feature.

Considering Wii U chat is probably an App I would assume you would have too or it would only record you if your in the app itself

They say they want to make it so you don't have to exit your games in the future, but that could mean anything from a system update to leaving it the way it is until the next console in 5 or 6 years.

The thing about ID's is tricky.
You can register 12 mii's with NN per console.
We're not sure if you can delete accounts and re-register new ones or what the deal is.

Yes you can have usernames and I'm sure there will be an update at some point for in game chat.

You can suspend the game and come back exactly where you left off.

When you press the home button, your game goes into a suspended state and you can check Miiverse threads and comments, use the web browser, check updates, use Wii U Chat, and use Nintendo TVii. I think you can also check the eshop but I'm not sure

wii u chat isn't in the list.

I didn't know they made an English translation of that screen. Didn't Bill Trinton say if someone was calling you during a game, you could suspend it and chat?

[lorddionigi]

last i saw them say, they said that a little light blinks on the controller when you have in incoming call

[x-SourApple-x]

wii u chat isn't in the list.

Probably because it's under friends list and you have to click on their name to do it :/

It looks like someone photoshopped the japanese text and replaced it with english.

Because it is.
It's from www.notenoughshaders.com

Wii U Chat is an application on the system menu.


See iwataasks.nintendo.com for quotes from Iwata and the wii u chat team saying it's not a multi-tasking application.

Okay, thanks a lot guys.
I hope we can sign up for Nintendo Network ID's on Nintendo's website, so those (me), who haven't pre-ordered, get to have a decent username.

From my understanding is it will be 1 head account System ID. Which is how the system connects to the internet and eshop.

Then 12 sub accounts or system users. Which is used for save data and everything else.

IMO it seems just like the ps3 accounts. I have a main account, then my girl has her profile as a sub account.
