Mashable - Nintendo users will finally soon have an online experience on par with Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. At least that's the message from Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, who broke the news in a meeting with investors yesterday shortly after the company released its quarterly earnings. Iwata's presentation explained that the Nintendo Network would encompass the company's next generation of products, including the portable 3DS and the Wii U console, to be released later this year. The network won't just be a place where users can play games against each other online -- Iwata said it would also offer full downloads of game titles, some add-ons and access to other digital content. That would be a big upgrade from the limited network connectivity that currently exists on Nintendo's hardware. Full text
