      Will the Wii U live up to Nintendo's expectations? We are hearing rumors that the system will offer a cloud save option tied to each customer's account. This rumor derives from Wii U Daily's secret source. Zoknowsgaming states Wii U claims this will give the customer "512mb of space for game saves and profile data. Apparently this service will be supplied by a Seattle-based company called Mozy Inc, and will be ready for a Japanese launch next year, followed by global release."

      Okay so Cloud save? I'm more interested with the fact that it mentions an online account per customer, at this point. This has been Nintendo's major downfall for quite some time. Will their opponents are gaining ground in the online aspect, will Nintendo finally enhance the online experience?

      Peter Molyneux, former head of Lionhead Studios responsible for bring you the Fable franchise, seems less than excited over the Wii U. Molyneux will be joining Spike TV's All Access Live marathon coverage of this year's E3 with Geoff Keighley, and some Kotaku editors. Kotaku posted an email circulating amongst the group that gives us a look into Molyneux's thoughts on E3, in general, and what Nintendo needs to do to impress with the Wii U.

      Have a look:

      I have long admired your work at E3, and always wondered what life would be like to be on your side, rather than that of the developer. So when your email flew into my inbox I did not hesitate to say yes.
      I am already losing sleep though excitement!
      This E3 is going to be fascinating . Thoughts:

      • Sony and Msft are holding their breath on next gen interesting to see how they pad out another year. Price cuts, form factors?
      • Nintendo's slightly lack lustre Wii U is going to have to blow us away with better specs and great 1st party line up.
      • The real challenge is how the players are going to adapt to the mounting pressure of Facebook, Apple, Social, Cloud, Multi-Gaming.
      • Is the biggest news that E3 itself runs the risk of being outdated, or perhaps it already is?
      • I guess I am excited about GTA V, but only in a mildly curious way.
      • I am excited, as always, to hear from Valve.
      • I would expect some announcement from Bungie
      • God only knows what COD will have to destroy in the Press briefing demo, after last year's destruction of NY.

      Thank you so much for having me on the team, please ask you makeup people to stock up on makeup for my bald shiny head.

      I do share most of his thoughts in this email. I for see a price cut to the PS Vita, Valve will have some sort of surprise, as well as Bungie, social gaming, and Wii U really needs to play catch-up to impress the masses.
