[h=1]Animal Crossing Plaza Launches on Wii U[/h]
Just announced on this morning's Nintendo Direct, Animal Crossing Plaza will be available for Wii U starting today.
The Plaza is basically an Animal Crossing version of Wii U's Wara Wara Plaza. Instead of being populated with the usual Mii characters, players will find the cast of Animal Crossing filling the plaza.
Within the Animal Crossing Plaza, users will be able to meet and interact with other Animal Crossing fans worldwide. Players will be able to post and exchange messages through the Animal Crossing Miiverse community.
Screenshots and custom design QR codes from Animal Crossing: New Leaf on the 3DS can be imported into the plaza as well. Images can be organized into albums and posted later with a message to the Miiverse. Players can also post QR codes that have been imported, allowing other players to directly scan those codes for use in New Leaf.
If you have ties to a specific animal in the Animal Crossing universe, you'll be able to post messages about that specific animal as well as reading posts about them. Players can also jump directly to the Animal Crossing Miiverse community directly from the Plaza if they wish to see more posts.
If this all sounds exciting to you, the Animal Crossing Plaza will be available for download starting today. It won't be around forever, however. Nintendo plans to end the service at the end of 2014.

[h=1]New Wii U Update Allows Off TV Play for Wii Games [Update][/h]
Nintendo has released a new firmware update for the Wii U tonight, now boosting the firmware version up to 4.0.0. The company has also released a changelog, though in Japanese only thus far. At a glance, the biggest addition to the Nintendo console is the ability to play Wii games on the Wii U GamePad screen.
The changelog can be found here. The first bullet point says that players will be able to output Wii games to the Wii U GamePad. However, the GamePad itself can't be used for controls. Users will have to use a Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus to enjoy playing Wii Games on the GamePad.
There are more features listed in the new firmware update on the changelog, including automatic software downloads and an update to the Internet Browser. I assume Nintendo will go over these details in tomorrow's Nintendo Direct.

[h=1]Nintendo Aims to Improve Wii U GamePad Experience With New Titles, Faster Boot Up[/h]
This year, Nintendo's top priority is to develop titles that will take full advantage of the Wii U GamePad. In its policy briefing, the company recognized that they haven't fully communicated the value added with the GamePad as well as showing the differentiation between the Wii and the Wii U.
To overcome this problem, Nintendo plans to offer titles that will take full advantage of the GamePad.
"We have managed to offer several of such software titles for occasions when many people gather in one place to play, but we have not been able to offer a decisive software title that enriches the user’s gameplay experience when playing alone with the GamePad," Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said. "This will be one of the top priorities of Mr. Miyamoto’s software development department this year."
In addition to creating titles that will make use of the GamePad, it will specifically unveil new titles at this year's E3 that will utilize the GamePad's NFC (near field communication) function.
A benefit that Nintendo has recognized for the Wii U GamePad is the ability to play Wii U games without a TV. To offer a better experience, a future system update is planned that will implement a quick start menu, which aims to reduce the 20 second wait time when booting the console.
Nintendo is also planning to release Nintendo DS games for the Wii U GamePad. An exact line up hasn't been revealed yet.

A benefit that Nintendo has recognized for the Wii U GamePad is the ability to play Wii U games without a TV. To offer a better experience, a future system update is planned that will implement a quick start menu, which aims to reduce the 20 second wait time when booting the console.
The quick start menu enables you to load one of the software titles you have recently played without being routed to the console menu. From the start, the GamePad has been equipped with a “TV Button,” which is used to start the TV Remote functionality. The GamePad can complete this function without starting up the Wii U console, and so you can turn on the TV almost instantaneously by pushing the TV Button. The quick start menu uses the same mechanism as the TV Button.
We think that this function will make you feel that the time to start up a Wii U software title is cut by more than 50 percent, and that it will also lead to more Wii U users understanding the appealing nature of the GamePad.

[h=1]GBA Games Coming to Virtual Console…On Wii U[/h]
Nintendo revealed on today's Direct that GameBoy Advance games will finally head to the Virtual Console service, though for Wii U. Games will launch starting this April.
Initial games include Metroid Fusion, Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, and more.
I'm not sure about you, but I think I'd rather play these handheld games on the 3DS. At least Nintendo is choosing some of GBA's best games first.

[h=2]Wii U owners will be able to make eShop payments with an NFC card … in Japan[/h]
Japanese Wii U owners will be able to make eShop payments using the GamePad's NFC capabilities beginning July 22, Nintendo announced today.
Payments will work with the Sucia rechargeable smart cards, which are used primarily to pay train fares. Tapping a Sucia card on the lower left of the GamePad will let customers bypass the requirement to use a credit card or add funds through the eShop.
In its May 7 fiscal earnings report, Nintendo reiterated its desire to provide software that uses the Wii U's NFC capabilities, including a line of Skylanders-like NFC figurines. Games like Mario Party 10 and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will use Nintendo's amiibo characters.
