Destructoid, nintendolife, joystiq, Cheat code centeral, digital spy, Darkstation, Nintendo World Report, and EuroGamer have all given mario's new outing a 10/10. \

I'll see if I can do anything later, I just don't remember the background or the graphics.
Time to summon Keanu Reeves and have him craft a sexy, sleek, modern mail and notification graphic :3

If I didn't have a Wii U and I lived in the UK I would buy this in a heartbeat.

Mmmmmm, lovely. You've done it once again, Keanu. Also, is that "U" icon a web shortcut for this site? Those would be nice.

Wait, you actually wrote a legit review for Club Nintendo? I just jumble everything I like in half a sentence.

Arkhandar, I hope you don't mind me borrowing your idea for tabs at the bottom - brilliant idea by the way.
No problem. I'm glad you guys like the tabs idea.
And thanks for showing your own mockups. You usually do some great stuff in photoshop so I was really curious myself to see what did you have next. I have to say, I'm not disappointed. xD
I was planning on stop making more mockups for now since there wasn't much interest in the community, but now that you've also contributed I'm pumped up again.

Thanks for your opinion! I went for something Nintendo-like, if you know what I mean - something similar to but a flatter version of the current Wii U interface. I'll take your suggestions and use them to improve it!
Add some white! Nintendo loves their white and grays.

That'd be awesome, especially if it had an animated background.

Holy crap! That's awesome!Arkhandar, I hope you don't mind me borrowing your idea for tabs at the bottom - brilliant idea by the way.
These are what I've been working on and spending most of my brain power on these past few days and it's still not complete as you can tell.
Suggestions are welcome and needed.

That looks really awesome, and definitely a big improvement over the current apps. But I can see a technical limitation getting in the way: That's effectively a fast task-switch toolbar at the bottom, which would be ideal if the console could instantly load in Miiverse or whatever. but the Wii U currently has a pretty long loading screen for each app, so a major rewrite of the core os would be needed otherwise the task bar would be odd.
You're right. With the current load times, the task bar would be useless.. unless we return to the original idea of making a "Preview Mode" to more "heavy" system apps, such as Miiverse, Nintendo eShop, Nintendo TVii, and System Settings (which would require to close the suspended app). This way, the Notification Center and Daily Log apps would be instantly swap-able, and the Internet Browser wouldn't require a Preview Mode so it could launch directly.
Something like this:
New HOME Menu
I was thinking of making the pop-up bar clickable (maybe a larger icon in the left corner to make it easier), which would bring up essentially a history of all notifications, kind of like the Blackberry Hub:
All notifications (new and viewed) would show up on this list, and you can click on a notification to open the respective app and view/do more. Does that make any sense?
That's a good idea, but I don't think that would work very well during gameplay. My vision is that the notification pop-up would be clickacle like you said, but instead it would launch the the app that its referring to (in this case, the Miiverse post). For the list of all notifications by date (and time) the user would have to click the Home button and go to the "Notifications" tab. This way, everything is in one place and it doesn't distract the user too much from gameplay.
Miiverse (Preview Mode)

I hope you guys like it

Reeves, please get yourself a job at nintendo and overhaul their OS. You don't understand how much I love your design of a notification system. It's too perfect.
