They say that brevity is the wit of the soul. Unfortunately, I took a shovel to my soul somewhere along the way. So long, wit!

And this will be forever known as the shortest post Ponkotsu has ever posted.
But in seriousness, I do enjoy your detailed posts.

HOW DARE YOU DO THAT!?!?!? YOU MUST BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!!!!

Back on topic:
I definitely think Miyamoto should be in the next Super Smash Bros.

I know I'm just dreamin, but it would be cool if that was a game included in the console. Instead of a Wii U menu, when you turn on the console, you'd wake up in Miitropolis, with your mii. We already know from the PS360 the online accounts. The Wii U could just destroy the competitors if you actually could play in that network. I'm sure I'm not clear, so lets give a try to a clunky example. You know in Fifa, the menu screen allows you to play on the field. It would be the same here. lets hope you guys understood.

Yes I know more about you than you'd ever expect >: )

Jokes aside, the thing's a fantasm. We're not alone thinking about that...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH THEY DO NOT TAKE RECOMMANDATIONS!!!!!

[Ponkotsu]

Whoops, just popping in to drop this off.

Wii no Ma officially closed at the end of April in Japan, and with only the 3DS Tomodachi Collection sequel - revealed with only a short teaser trailer at E3 last year - on the horizon for social Mii/virtual Mii world content (And this one at least having more of a shot at coming west than the original on the DS did), it'll be interesting to see what else Nintendo has on the horizon.

Iwata has stated that in their continued focus on building up new online features and content for the Nintendo Network launch later this year, they've taken note of what a huge hit Swapnote/Letter Box has been, and they're planning on looking into more ways to encourage and reward online social interaction like that. Some kind of new Mii-based content - whether an online-oriented answer to the StreetPass Mii Plaza, something social like Miitropolis, or something else entirely different and surprising - should be in order and coming yet this year. The latest 4.0+ 3DS firmware update was relatively sparse beyond the patches and folders, especially in comparison to the boatload of content we got back in the 3.0+ firmware update back in December. I suspect there are going to be big things coming in firmware update 5.0+, and we may finally see Nintendo Network more fully unveiled with new future features for the 3DS and Wii U at E3 in just over a month now, and we could potentially see the next firmware update around then.

Considering that they seem to be holding back a lot of new content for the huge Nintendo Network launch update, I don't expect they're going to try to make 3DS owners wait nearly an entire year - from last December to this November - before they release the next major firmware update to finally roll out Nintendo Network when they can get that going more aggressively on the 3DS starting this summer and perhaps let us link with usernames and profiles for ease of having something to connect to immediately after setting up one's internet connection on the Wii U upon first starting the system up, just as with the 3DS when you first boot that up. There's a lot of big things ahead, and the past two investors meetings have only hinted further at how ambitious Nintendo's going.

Anyway, rambling again. E3's not far off, and we'll have even more to discuss soon. Even more walls of text, speculation, and brainstorming.

And this thread's coming up on a year old this summer. I feel old, haha.

[Blake]

I just thought I would bump up this thread.
This thread is one of the greatest Wii U speculation threads of all time. And with E3 dawning upon us, I think it will be nice for people to re-read this thread and compare it to what actually happens, (if a game/application is announced similar to this).

[Ponkotsu]

More to discuss, but hey, we just saw something like this in the pre-E3 Nintendo Direct in Mii Wara Wara/Miiverse for the 3DS and Wii U! Not quite perhaps a Playstation Home killer yet in not having seen personal spaces to customize yet, but it easily outdoes the likes of the Vita's Near, and gives us very much this kind of virtual life Mii Plaza space in which to communicate with our friends, family, and the wider gaming community through our tastes. A fantastic gaming social network platform.

Beautiful.

I sent this post to them so they probably took some ideas from it.

Here we go! Nintendo Land, launching with the Wii U, looks to have many of the additional features discussed here. No sign of a specific home to fill and live in yet, but we're all virtually congregating through Miiverse now, and have our first big virtual Mii world to roam in with Nintendo Land, our very own carnival/theme park online.
