Its very possible Nintendo is making the interface that will then accept the online solution/server connections any 3rd party wants to implement. All the 3rd parties will need to do is accept the login credentials and any game related metadata for leader-boards and some award system. (probably coin or star related) I think its way too early with far too little info to make a judgement at this time. |
That's about what I got out of the text in the OP. We'll probably have a unified login system and depending on the game we'll be playing on either the developper's network or Nintendo's.
Signature goes here!
This probably means no achievements right ? ( not a big deal for casual but achievements are starting to be a big deal for more core gamers).

If each developer/publisher has their own network (i.e. EA, Ubisoft, Activision) they can do what they want, so I suppouse there would be achievements. Not that I care if they are useless...
Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever
Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe
Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor
Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Yep need more leaks and info.
LMAO to your sig!
im taking a wait and see approach. what i hope does not happen is that i have to log in for diff. publishers. I.E i need a login for an EA game and 1 for Konami. Thats too much crap to deal with

That's what i was thinking, that they'll set up a unified, persistent friends list that you can view anytime to see what your friends are up to, but the actual nuts and bolts of online play will come from the 3rd parties themselves, so Nintendo doesn't have to pay for servers or have to establish a real service of any consequence
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
