I didn't think this day would come after my immense disappointment with the Wii, and my high hopes for PS4/Xbox One, but I am actually considering buying a Wii U based largely on how disappointing the launch game offerings from Sony/MS seem to be. I just can't justify a $400 or $500 purchase to play KZ: SF, or KI, which are the only current launch games that interest me.

Having said that, has Nintendo improved their online offerings at all? Do they have a proper account system like XBL and PSN, or are games tied to the console?

Also, how is the friend system, and voice chat for games? I'm a very social gamer, and feel that it is a requirment for any online game to support voice chat. If I can't use voice chat when games like MK 8, and Smash come out I will be so annoyed!

Thanks for any info/insight you guys can provide!


COD online is superior on WiiU if you have a friend coming over because of the option to play on the gamepad and one one the TV. COD experience is actually pretty good on WiiU if you want to play team deathmatch or free for all...... the other games option suffer from smaller install base.... 

Nintendo hasn't made any game that offer online multiplayer yet.....MK8 and super smash bros U will be the first two that will support online multiplayer.

Other notable are Monster Hunter 3, Sonic All-star racing

Apparently Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper as good COOP online but the games is not great.
