The Nintendo Network is an online gameplay network which acts similar to Sony's PlayStation Network. It is the second network created by Nintendo after the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (which launched during the release of Mario Kart DS). It has been made to provide online play for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U compatible games. It was announced on January 26, 2012, at an investor's conference. Unlike Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, which has been focused upon specific functionalities and concepts, this aims to establish a platform where various services available through the network for consumers shall be connected via Nintendo Network service so that the company can make comprehensive proposals to consumers. Nintendo's plans include personal accounts for the Wii U, digitally distributed packaged software, and paid downloadable content.
