If you're wondering what the Nintendo Network, it's an answer to XBOX Live and PSN. There were some early suspicions surrounding the name and this has shown them to be true. Indeed, there will be personal accounts for Wii U owners, downloadable content, and the possibility to download full retail games. This is a step in the direction of competitors, Microsoft and Sony, especially with a profile that is not system specific. The Nintendo Network will also be the new name to coin the 3DS's online capabilities, finally completely phasing out the old "Nintendo WiFi Connection". Everything is pointing towards a bright future for Nintendo's online.
