Nintendo Should advertise the fact that their Internet Connection is FREE!

Nah, I mean it's great not having to pay anything for online matches and stuff, but the Wii U's online service isn't really comparable to PSN and Xbox live, so no.

I never understand what people mean by that.


I play a game on 360 PS3 and WiiU. THere is no difference other that Nintendo has Miiverse which kicks the other systems butts. Also PC has no online fee and kicks every consoles but too.

I certainly dont want to talk to dumb people online especially not when they are 13 year olds playing games for 13 year old that for whatever reason have an M rating.

Well, for me personally there isn't too much of a difference either, since I rarely play online. ( 3-4 games across all platforms that is) BUT we can't overlook the fact that PSN and Xbox live offer much and I mean much more than the Nintendo Network does. Reliability in itself speaks for the competitors, not to mention  a wider variety of games that one can play online. (The only game on Wii U that comes to my mind right now would be Mario Kart 8) Creating a profile, that isn't accessible from only one specific piece of hardware also puts them so far ahead. Invite friends to a Party Chat and so on...

These are just a few examples of why I think the Nintendo Network isn't really comparable. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of Miiverse and post there regularly myself, but compared to Xbox live and PSN? Meh.

*Also, if those 13 year old dickwads playing online annoy you, you can just mute or block them entirely.
