No online requirement.

No used games fees.

No restricitons on lending games. 

It feels good to be a sheep. 

Thank you based Nintendo.

They are the only dedicated traditional console maker really.  Unfortunately the hardware just isnt up to many peoples standards.

But I have a Wii U and I'll be getting a PS4, so I'm set!

Just give Nintendo a bag of popcorn and let the real boys go at it. There just the innocent child in all this.

i admit that i couldn't stop laughing when sony started to essentially bitchslap microsoft during their conference, but then i got sad because that kind of thing actually had to be mentioned, because we live in a world where "lending games to a friend" isn't something you can take for granted. so yeah, now all nintendo has to do is fix their system-bound store and they'll be the best around.

When they have no 3rd party support at all, it kind of doesn't matter. What Ninty game is gonna provide compelling online in the first place?

Pretty much this. The only Wii games I played online were Smash Bros and Mario Kart, and the Wii U is looking to be much of the same. Not like there's a ton of online games to make a subscription worth while.

PC+WiiU, next gen started last year fellas, try to keep up! But seriously, the age of the third party exclusive is all but dead, hell, the age of the exclusive seems pretty much dead, I sure as hell aint picking up a PS4 or an Xbox One for Killzone or Forza. Dead Rising 3 is the only one that bothers me and I expect that on PC next year.

The only games that the Wii U have going for it in terms of online play is smash bros and mario kart and thats it. Im sorry but it would be an insault for them to even think about charging for online support with such a piss poor weak library for online gaming. As much as I respect nintendo for trying to be unique they really just arent up there at all with the xbox one and ps4. It does not have anything that good going for it right now and it would take a lot just for me to even think about getting a Wii u because it seems as if the Wii U is just last gen

Already even Injustice on the wii u is a major disappointment compared to the ps3/360 (lack of dlc and options). Nintendo has a LONG LONG way to go before anyone can even think about prasing it for its online

Its still a plus at least that I won't have to pay a fee for monster hunter. I can get behind that.

Too bad 3rd party support has been atrocious for generations.

If they still had great 3rd party support, Nintendo would always have the best console.

Good. A second console should never add extra fees like that anyways.

Neither of those games are on the Wii U, so how would they be the only games you played where the online works? It's actually very comparable to PSN/Xbox Live.

Screw Sony, charging for online, they will probably still block used games as well, sicne publishers/devs can choose to

You can keep it, the only online games Wii U will get are piss poor ports (like last gen) and 1st party titles.  Then again, that's the only reason to own a Nintendo product anyway.

Bardock47
I don't know whether it's good or not (I don't have a Wii U) but if it is it all means nothing if: a) Nothing to play online like there is now b) If Nintendo continues to have their heads in the sand when it comes to implementing online in their own games. Absolutely no excuse for NSMBU and NintendoLand not to support online play.
