I just want it for the portable co-op multiplayer. I just hope that the co-op in NSMBU and NSMB2 are online as well.

Digital Distribution of Retail 3DS & Wii U Games: Need Ideas
“…we already have the necessary infrastructure to digitally distribute the software on a scale as large as the packaged software. We can start it as soon as we decide to do so.”
“As for the actual digital distribution method, we need to consider what kind of cooperation we can make with wholesalers and retailers, but we think that there must be various solutions other than just positioning digital distribution as an enemy to them. Upon close consultation with them, we would like to determine the details of our digital distribution.”

This is of key importance. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem? Are there any other companies out there that are already implementing a solution to this? This problem is all that's standing in our way of getting to download retail games right now. The sooner this gets solved, the sooner we get to stop lugging our physical carts around with us everywhere.
Here’s an idea just to get the ball rolling:
Allow the retailers to sell download codes or items, such as figures or cards, which use NFC to act as download codes. This way, retailers can also sell the digital versions of the retail games. I do not think it would be fair to Nintendo if the retailers were the only ones allowed to sell the digital content, though. Nintendo should still be able to sell the digital versions of the retail games directly from the eShop on the 3DS and Wii U. The price of the digital versions should be lower than the physical versions, but that is ok because the retailers can still sell the cheaper digital versions anyway. Just make sure that the prices of the digital versions are still the same from the retailer and from Nintendo’s eShop. Are you listening Nintendo? I want digital retail games ASAP! Please & Thank you.
P.S. I like NTN or NiNet for the abbreviation of The Nintendo Network Service.
They will probably include Wii Sports U with the console.
Wii Sports was basically the game that made a ton of people buy a Wii in the first place. It would be foolish not to include a sequel for the Wii U.
Chip design is a significant, significant effort. It would be easier (cheaper) to just strip out the unwanted items rather than redo them from the ground up. I don't think AMD has found big ways to make your specific desired modern features more efficient, or they'd already be using them in their regular chips. When I hear that the dev kits have gotten more powerful, all that tells me is that they went from a 4770 to a 48x0 -- they just added more stream units.
also is there a reason why this was posted on every nintendo forum?
