Not bad. =)

- game demos
Hopefully for all games, retail and download.

- check Miiverse comments related to the game
I wonder if Nintendo will promote select glowing testimonials or if it will be more random. I'm hoping for comments from friends/friends-of-friends

- downloadable content can be purchased in the store while software is running
Good news for Skylanders and such. Can't wait for Smash Bros!

I hope we have a lot of game demos, and not only one every few weeks.

[Progamer]

Look at 3DS, 1 demo every month! LOL XD

At that rate Wii U better improve!

[Eternal Rain]

I hope we have a lot of game demos, and not only one every few weeks.

Same here, I'm hoping it's like the demos on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Anyway, it's good to hear you can get DLC while software is running, but I wonder if downloading and playing a game can work side by side. I ask this because my Xbox 360 doesn't let me do both at the same time. Downloading a demo and then suddenly decide to play some Bad Company 2 to pass the time? Nope, download instantly pauses the moment the game starts up. Rather annoying.

[Amputech]

This sounds good to me I am looking forward to demos.

[sergiomonty]

Hope we can all try that Rayman Legends demo from the stores! =)

[King_Dodongo]

Good news!

"- HD videos"

YES YES (I'm not surprised but I've been waiting for this for a long long time) Sayonara nasty Nintendo Channel videos. (Let's just hope the streams are reliable)

[zyxion1]

I wanna know if we can play our own mp3/4 collection like a music and photo channel can anyone confirmed this?

[MoldyClay]

@StudMuffin

Considering not ALL games on PS3 or 360 have demos, I doubt it will be the case on Wii U either.

[Chosenoneknuckles]

@MoldyClay This.

I can recall wanting to try X title on 360 and there not being a demo to try.

U eShop sounds glorious [as I'd hoped] - and we have a big ol' batch of Indie games from the offset too!

@zyxion1 That Panorama feature from E3 is, presumably, a system app. Could be part of a wider Photo Channel?

Don't know about a dedicated Music space, maybe they'll be an eStore app for it?

[jjppkmaster]

Wow this sounds amazing, i love that there will be a rating system, and hopefully man demo's

[sergiomonty]

@MoldyClay I don't think so. The 3ds eshop has been pretty generous lately, I would expect the same kind of surprises on Wii U.

@Progamer

+1

Things sound good to me. I just can't wait to use it.
