What Do You Think Of The Wii U's Online Services?
Much of the Wii U's online functionality remained a mystery right up until launch, which left it up to the early adopters to figure out and test Nintendo's new network. If you own a Wii U and have played around with the system's online services, we want to hear what you think of them.
I chatted with some of my fellow editors about what online improvements they'd like to see Nintendo address, and they brought up issues like the friend request process, the lack of universal game invites, and downloadable games being split between the eShop and Wii Channel. At the same time, they praised the Miiverse as a fun way to interact with fellow gamers by sharing drawings and messages.
Now I'd like to hear what you think. What did Nintendo get right? What online components do you think are missing or confusing? Is the Miiverse everything you want it to be, or are there improvements you'd like to see? Share the pros, cons, and suggestions you have in the comments below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
