So I'm pretty much never downloading games from Nintendo again

It's what Iwata talked about in January.

Are you referring to this? 

The "Nintendo Network," whose logo was just spotted on the Japanese Theatrhythm cover, will cover "competitions and communication among users, as well as the sales of digital content," Iwata said, for both 3DS and Wii U. 

No.  You know, links to it were already posted in this very thread.

I got that from one of the two sources. Can you please post which one exactly and the quote, I'd appreciate it.

Edit: This is all I found: Iwata says the network will offer "competitions and communication among users, as well as the sales of digital content," and in the case of the Wii U, will introduce personal user accounts. Iwata stopped just short of confirming that the Nintendo Network will end the company's policy of tying downloaded titles to Nintendo hardware, rather than individual users, but mentioned that it packed an infrastructure that supports not only add-on content, but fully downloadable retail games as well.

The rest seems like wishful thinking Viper.
