The Nintendo Network?

Nintendo used to market their online game functionality in terms of the “Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection”, and have even done so recently. However, there has been news for quite some time that Nintendo was working on upping their online presence in order to offer competition to the likes of Microsoft and Sony. A recent box art photograph from an upcoming game saw a “Nintendo Network” text and logo on the box, which implies that this could be the rebranding of the service. Now all that we lack is proof to see if this is simply a rebranding, or if Nintendo is truly upping their game in the online world.

Either way, I hope to see some new features especially on the Wii U that is due for release sometime in 2012, between June and December.
