Yep, is not Facebook, neither Twitter. It's MySpace!

"Take what I’m going to say with a grain of salt as it is only a rumor, nothing confirmed. It was passed down the grapevine that Nintendo is working behind the scenes with MySpace. They are trying to create something like a MySpace TV app for the Wii U that would turn the controller into a full communication/social media device. I have no idea what that means, but that was the notion of it.

I never really payed much attention to MySpace as I only began to notice social networking once Facebook and Twitter exploded onto the scene and MySpace started to go into decline. So, I’m not sure whether to be excited or not about the rumor. Partnering with a declining social network? I guess it makes sense for MySpace as it might give them a new angle to get back into the game. (Bad pun, I know.) And Nintendo might have had a hard time getting Facebook or Twitter to collaborate with them to make a special app just for the Wii U. Plus, MySpace seems to be best at “doing” media on their network which is why so many musical artists create MySpace profiles.

So, what would be part of this MySpace-Wii U app? I’m guessing you can record and send videos, draw sketches ala PictoChat and send them to your friends, video chat, create a social profile which can be hooked up to your gaming info, and other activities of a social-media-gaming nature.

More info about it:

“We’re ready to take television and entertainment to the next step by upgrading it to the social networking experience. Why text or email your friends to talk about your favorite programs after they’ve aired when you could be sharing the experience with real-time interactivity from anywhere across the globe? As the plot of your favorite drama unfolds, the joke of your favorite SNL character plays, or even the last second shot of your favorite team swishes the net, we’re giving you the opportunity to connect your friends to your moments as they’re actually occurring. This is the evolution of one of our greatest inventions, the television. And, we no longer have to crowd around the same one to experience it together.”

According to the press release, the social activity will be handled via a smartphone or tablet app. If that’s the case, then it’s really not much more than GetGlue, Miso, and several other apps are already doing. It works, but it feels like two experiences, what’s happening on TV and what’s happening on your phone.

April Fool's? Judge it.

lol, that would be really funny! Can't wait to know for sure.

Not too far outside the realm of possibility. With MySpace you get the unique combination of a brand that is universally familiar, but the company itself is in position to want Nintendo's partnership more than Nintendo wants theirs. Thus Nintendo could get an experienced company to help build the service and a well-known name to help pitch the service while doing so on terms entirely favorable to them.

I can only see this backfiring. Nintendo really thinks that will attract people?

Who knows? MySpace still has something like 30 million users. Maybe this could help them, if not grow, at least stabilize. And Nintendo needs help when it comes to this sort of thing, and MySpace can provide the expertise.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo collaborated with any large social networking system; but I would be surprised if they were exclusive to any social networking system ...

Basically, I think there is some potential in from working with these companies (even if it is just being able to import friends and/or display "achievements" on your profile) but Nintendo would have to integrate with enough networks for it to be meaningful.

Hopefully is just to make an specific app for Wii U.

Wait, am I the only one who thinks this is April fools?

Nope. This sounds like a load of BS.

How many of those users are real people and not bots?
