I have my doubts about this Nintendo Network deal. Yesterday when i posted the story about it i was reminded that Mario Kart 7 connects to the Nintendo Network every time you play over the web. If anything the picture above may just be a re-branding to the 3DS's network.
Buuuuuuut an anonymous source has stated the following:
Nintendo will launch a website accessible from any web browser that will handle configuration of your Nintendo Network account for use on the Wii U or 3DS. He also stated that Nintendo Network will include many new features that haven’t been used before by Nintendo. According to his accounts: Nintendo Network = Sony PSN = Xbox Live.
Its REALLY hard to believe something like this... but the individual who submitted this to everyone wished to remain anonymous. Personally I don't think it can be compared to PSN and Live. It's much more believable that this has something to do with DLC. Only time can tell. What is everyone's thoughts on this? comment here or on the Facebook page.
The box art for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is out and about... oh what's this on the top right corner... "Nintendo Network"?
At this point there is no word on what "Nintendo Network" is. The only idea some people have is that it may have something to do with the fact that the game will include DLC.
