New tweets
Have built pillar for digital, now able to take risk, think once done and bottlenecks removed can change perceptions
Digital will include user to user communications and sharing

This gets better
Digital - if super mario user gets tired then can sell digitally extra which will drive extra rev..

Although there is no logo here, we are planning to release a totally new side-scrolling action Super Mario in 2D as a key title for the Nintendo 3DS in the next fiscal year.
With the fulfillment of software, we are confident that we will be able to make the Nintendo 3DS active for the full year as the mainstream platform in the video game market.

Digital is not enemy to retail, digital won't be priced so it cannibalises packaged, yet to decide and talk with partners

Fail.


You're the most negative person on this forum. As soon as I saw you were last post, I knew what to expect.

It means all the users can have their own accounts on one system. You know, like PSN and Live.

It's a good thing.

Except we've already been told it is per game, it is not like Live or PSN.


Maybe I missed the news, but all I have seen is people being unable to confirm either way (probably because of NDAs)

Another Tweet.

" We should not decline 3rd parties if they want to offer item billing"

Guess Wii U will be great for F2P games like Ghost Recon Online.

When they said there wanted the online to be open, they weren't joking.

This calendar year will announce several alliances/partnerships with external parties, previously not considered

"personal accounts for Wii U" - Meaning you can create an individual account so multiple accounts per system.

The exact tweet : WiiU will have individual account system rather than previous per hardware, hence several users per hardware unit

Nothing more I can tell you.
