<\/a><\/p>\nWell what about cloud storage? Remember the SD card menu on the Wii, how each game would take a few seconds to transfer to system memory before you could play it? There’s no reason a similar system couldn’t be put in place for Wii U VC games but with games left in the cloud instead of on an SD card.<\/p>\n
We know Nintendo plans to make user accounts transferable and mobile in the future, so imagine being able to put your account on a USB stick (or on the Wii remote’s long-forgotten internal storage), take it to a friend’s house and have all your purchased VC games there good to go. Plus a Lakitu-themed transfer animation would be adorable! There would be an issue with accessing your games if you happened to be offline of course, and there wouldn’t be any huge benefit to the user assuming they had heaps of storage space. But that brings me to my next piece of speculation:<\/p>\n
Virtual Console subscription. This one might seem a little less reasonable as monthly subscription fees are kind of unlike Nintendo, but then they’re bringing \u00a0one in for their new Flipnotes on 3DS, so who knows! Basically you would pay a monthly or yearly subscription and get access to all the released VC console games right there in your cloud storage. Of course if you’re paying good money you want good games, so Nintendo would have to make a guarantee or a publish a release schedule so we can make sure we won’t be stuck playing King of Fighters three months in a row.<\/p>\n
Finally, Wii U folders. I know that’s hardly an online feature but all these\u00a0downloadable\u00a0and Virtual Console games need to go somewhere. Games spread out randomly across eight menu screens will not be fun.<\/p>\n
What online features would you like to see on Wii U? Are you excited for the\u00a0possibility\u00a0of gifting digital games or playing the same games across Wii U and 3DS? Do you have something else in mind you think may be around the corner?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
