Smash Wii U How exactly will saving work in the Wii U version?

[allison]

I just thought of something. Past Nintendo consoles had no account system, so a family would share a single Brawl save file (unless they screwed around with SD cards). Before now, it was a lot of fun to unlock things together, and make up for our strengths and weaknesses (I sucked at Home-Run Contest at the time, but my dad didn't).

Starting with the Wii U, however, they introduced individual user accounts. Games like Wind Waker HD had save data tied to a single account. What worries me is this: What if Super Smash Bros. saves per account? I certainly hope they don't. I know it's technically possible to have everyone share a file, as Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition did for some silly reason. What are your thoughts?

Would it not make sense for it to be seperate for each user? I wanna unlock my own stuff and do the challenges online, so it's fine for me. What are your worries?

I guess the idea is to let less experienced players see the full roster, but I see your point as well; unlocking is a really fun aspect of Smash Bros.

I'd rather have the save file shared between accounts. As a multiplayer-focused game, it just fits.

It'd be pretty cool if the save file was shared, but still having multiple profiles for online play under each account.

At my home we only use one account, mine. But that's also because noone plays the Wii U as regularly as me.

Back in the Melee days, my brother and I used separate memory cards.

I didn't like it when Brawl unified it again. I'm glad that it's account based now, so my stuff is my stuff.

Ahh...That's really weird, for me it doesn't matter since I am the only person in my family that plays Smash, but that's annoying for other people.

I actually prefer it this way. It makes a lot more sense for a multiplayer game.
