  • Nintendo delays first mobile game
  • Publisher has more Wii U and 3DS games coming this holiday

Nintendo Account is what the company is calling its evolution of Nintendo Network, which it is building in partnership with Japanese mobile gaming publisher DeNA, according to executive remarks during an investor meeting. This should finally bring full online features to Nintendo hardware, and it will help keep people connected across devices as well — something the Japanese publisher has struggled with.

Nintendo is also introducing a My Nintendo loyalty system to replace the now-defunct Club Nintendo.
