Bad.
This means you'll likely have a id for each publisher (like PC gaming) and have no unified boards/points/trophies/cross game/publisher connections, etc.
This is Nintendo being cheap. Same reason no bluray or other media player is that Nintendo won't spend the extra money to build this stuff. Instead it will be up to the publishers which is bad as it adds an unnecessary obstacle to their development on WiiU platform.
Now, instead of hooks into an existing base, they will require servers and their own framework. Also, means limited support as these types of servers don't live forever.
I'll still buy WiiU as I like the IPs, but I am no longer under the idea that Nintendo learned what was wrong in Wii's online.
