Wii U Account System

Satoru Iwata detailed the account system within the Wii U at the recent Nintendo Direct broadcast, and you can watch the complete summary in the video after the break.

    • AxGamer

      Why would there be 13 oe more people on one Wii U?

    • Hybrilynx

    what happened to miiverse on 3ds?

    • Omarsonic9

      Yeah You’re right!
      We need a Nintendo Direct that focuses on Miiverse for 3ds =O

    • Jonathan

      There is no Miiverse for Nintendo 3DS. It can be ACCESSED in a later system update to update status and post comments to Miiverse for Wii U games, but Nintendo 3DS games were never made to utilize Miiverse.

      Nintendo will not be making Miiverse for the Nintendo 3DS as a result.

      Glad I never purchased a Nintendo 3DS, or else I’d be feeling just as bad as you guys right now. :c

    • Omarsonic9

      I’m not feeling that bad about it.
      Well, We have Swapnote.. That… You can play Turn-based RPG games on that.

    hope i can save my profile to a removable hard drive

      Yeah, when the 360 first came out I had an account that I always used without owning an Xbox until this year. I just want the ability to bring my profile with me everywhere.

  • Jairo

    Since there’s multiple accounts, will there still be multiple save files in games?
    Due to there being multiple accounts, you’d think that multiple files would be pretty much useless, but I like to be a “Completionest” (BEARS) y’know, complete the game 100%, and when I want to play the game again… I wouldn’t really want to erase what I worked so hard for XD

    • LOL

      I heard that “some games let you share save files” so I’m guessing it’s standard.

    • Kaizar

      12 save files per game, for every game (at least for retail ones)

      SHABLAGOO!

  • Tecpedz94

    Why arent those features already in the system and we have to download them instead???

    • LaLaLa

      I’m gonna take a guess and say they didn’t have time to program it on the Wii U

    • Tecpedz94

      Lmao im 100% sure thats not it hahaha!!! The WiiU has been complete for quite a while now. At the moment they are just focusing on advertisements and manufacturing.
