The following comments come from Reggie Fils-Aime...

"When you turn on your Wii U, let's assume that you're connected, so when you turn on your Wii U what you're gonna see is that home screen with all of the Miis and the MiiVerse community, and what's trending, kind of the key comments that have bubbled up through the system. So as long as you're in a connected environment, that's the first screen you see."

- community of people will be curated by both you and Nintendo

"These are your friends, these are people who have high reputation within the site, and so we've curated for you to see those messages. We could also do some messages directly from Nintendo to that point."

- screen will also feature 'tiles'

"These'll be the key games that the community are playing, buzzing about. Because of the deep linkage through Nintendo TVii with video services, these could also be movies. They could be TV shows, could be a range of different content, but it's bubbling up through the community, with the exception of— I think the maximum of three tiles that we might be sending in terms of Nintendo thinking that something's interesting."

- Miiverse will let you send messages, see what your friends are doing, and recommend games to the people you kno

- Reggie says Nintendo Network/eShop details coming later

"And by that I mean, it's gonna be best for us to show the specific mechanics, how it works, for me to sit here and try to explain it to you without some nice visuals is gonna take our entire interview time. The key message I would communicate to your readers would be this: We have spent a lot of time and invested a lot of money to get our connected experiences right. And so when we highlight how the eShop will work, how the Nintendo Network is going to work, I think people are going to be very pleased."

- Friend Codes revamped

"We've heard the community feedback on friend codes and we're making it dramatically easier for you to connect with your friends."
