I would say Yay. Next, gen or next next gen, they should have built in wi-fi or atleast AT&T __G.

Yay. If it wasn't for the fact that my pre-slim 360 is set up right next to my router, I would have a problem.

Not having built in wifi is stupid beyond belief.

Of course it's going to have built in wi-fi. The Wii had it. A 3G phone company plan? Hell no.

3DS should of had 3g or even 4G Wimax. But this is Wii U, why 3G?

The day we can play online over a data plan is the day I'd sooner spend the money playing the 50 single player games I could otherwise afford in a year.

Why would I want to pay more money to play my games on a slower, crappier connection?

This article mentions the 802.11N wireless network standard which is a reference to the type of system the U will use. I have seen other sources confirming a more up to date wifi system as well for the next console.

As for any cell phone plan, yawn. As long as you can buy a phone that can be a mobile hotspot, you can use your wifi to tap into it and play though it will be most likely cruddy.

I believe even Sony said that the 3G for their Vita wont even let their people game online; it will be good for downloading things such as games from online, web browsing, getting updates, and perhaps the ability to know exactly where you are thanks to the gps in their Vita. So people we get to pay a monthly fee to allow them to download stuff on the go and cruise the web rather than using wifi.

This.

There is absolutely no reason NOT to have it.
