[Wii U, 3DS] Nintendo Network continues Nintendo's slow catch-up with online standard

[Wii U, 3DS] Nintendo Network continues Nintendo's slow catch-up with online standard
Recently, Nintendo held a briefing where they talked up future features for the Nintendo 3DS and also talked about what they will be adding to the Wii U. The most important piece of news to take away from the briefing, the Nintendo Network. [Image: game-news-image-2012-367526fa2c8572dc883...8744cf.jpg]
As you can see, the key features are pretty much what other platforms already have, but it is good to finally see Nintendo catching up with everyone else in time for a new console.

User IDs will also reportedly not tie a single account to one system, instead opting to allow multiple user accounts on one console. DLC and digital distribution of retail games are also two very important features. I mean, you can hate DLC all you want, but it is here to stay.

Nintendo also says that they might change the Wii U's name to avoid any confusion, but I guess we'll find out more about that (and everything related to the console) at E3 this June. Does this change how you think about the Wii U, or do you still need to see some actual games for it?

Better late than never.
