Not sure if core Nintendo fans will take to it. I still am in that crowd that believes that Nintendo and online are light years behind everyone else.

I suppose you don't care about the online improvements that they made with the 3DS.

Actually please enlighten me (seriously). I am known as a 360 fan but I have purchased every Nintendo handheld since Gameboy. Havent got a 3DS yet, but I remember what a pain in the ass it was when playing Mario Kart DS or Metroid Prime Hunters online.

I didn't play DS online but the 3DS isn't horrible.  Mario Kart 7 and Kid Icarus was both easy to jump online with.  You can invite friends and then do match making.  You only have to enter friend-codes ones although I'd prefer usernames.  Over-all its not bad, just not as good as XBL or Steam and could definitely use some improvement. But it's just a handheld so I expect the Wii U to be better
