Has Nintendo announced anything about the online features? What we know so far are the smartphone app for communication and parental controls app. That's not much, but especially the parental controls app kick ass, and potentially so does the communication app. 

But isn't that the whole point? It's a new service. Expecting them to come out the gate and be "better" then services that have been running continously for over a decade, constantly being upgraded and updated and receiving feedback is completely unfeasible in my books.

That's something that happens all the time. If Nintendo is just copypasteing XBL and PSN, it's not going to make a better service. I'm expecting something different from Nintendo. New service would also mean they'd not be just patching the old one. Think about how fast Google topped Microsoft in the internet, while MS already had been in the internet ever since it was created.
