If someone else posts, I'll definitely add it. My initial list is just for people I recognize and found.

[Haunted]

I thought microsoft would be more popular than that.

[I NEED SCISSORS]

.."yeah"-ing posts? Is this what Miiverse is about? lol

[piteru]

Nice work man!starting tomorrow a following- orgasm!

[Oni Link 666]

IGN Nintendo's Audrey Drake - Aminka

[Jocchan]

.."yeah"-ing posts? Is this what Miiverse is about? lol

Yeah.

[jooey]

.."yeah"-ing posts? Is this what Miiverse is about? lol

thanks for keeping up

[brinstar]

this guy is cracking me up hahahaha

[fluffydelusions]

How many friends does Nintendo allow anyway?

[piteru]

.."yeah"-ing posts? Is this what Miiverse is about? lol

No yeah for you

[EloquentM]

How many friends does Nintendo allow anyway?

100 friends
1000 people you can follow.

[Oni Link 666]

.."yeah"-ing posts? Is this what Miiverse is about? lol

OMG I am so following Jim Sterling. LOL

[Gianni Merryman]

So is Miiverse a sort of Twitter+Facebook combined?

How many friends does Nintendo allow anyway?

IIRC the limit is 100, that is a bit low imo, hope they can make it 200 later on.

[loborzelda]

(IGN) Sam Claiborn - Okmaniak [Alf]

[mugurumakensei]

It's twitter and steam communities combined.

It has twitter/facebook like elements yeah.
Its great for the individual game communities because you can get opinions etc and it lets you know who owns the game so you know who is has it and who is just bullshitting

[Oni Link 666]

So is Miiverse a sort of Twitter+Facebook combined?

Kind of. It's really more like a message board X Twitter.

[shadyspace]

(Giant Bomb) Ryan Davis- taswell Vinny's on there too but I'm not by my Wii U and can't remember what his NNID is

[Freezie KO]

Thanks for putting this together. I'll go through later and follow some people.

[wsippel]

Bozon has a checkmark as well if I remember correctly.

[Currygan]

waiting for Keza McDonald's one, so I can stalk her, heh heh

[Samurai_Heart]

Thanks for making this, hopefully Nintendo will up the following limits when they can.

[rpmurphy]

Yep! He must have gotten that only very recently because I don't remember seeing that at first.

[dwu8991]

This is a good thread !

Now we need to add in the A list celebrities

[Zeer0id]

OMG I am so following Jim Sterling. LOL

Sterling just draws pictures of Willem Dafoe in the Rabbids Land community all day. It's fantastic.

Thanks for this thread, gonna follow some people.

[rpmurphy]

It looks like Nintendo is creating separate accounts for the different regions. Tezuka's and Takemoto's are there now for Europe.

[Marbles]

.."yeah"-ing posts? Is this what Miiverse is about? lol

Unyeah

[DashReindeer]

Anyone know if anyone else from Penny Arcade besides Ben has a NNID? I'd love to follow Mike or Jerry, but I hadn't seen anything.

[godfree]

(Gamertag Radio) Danny Pena - [godfree]

Add me.

[wsippel]

I think BartmanAbyss is Bernhard Wodok (Shin'en). "Bartman" was his alias when he was at Abyss. Just saw the name on the Nano Assault leaderboard - unsurprisingly, he's pretty high up. :)

[rpmurphy]

(Gamertag Radio) Danny Pena - [godfree] Add me.

I had misgivings about this being turned into a self-promotion thing, but I guess since most of the Twitter threads are like that anyway, maybe that'll be okay. Unless others object to it.

Cool, will keep an eye out.

After everyone was raving about Jeremy Parish's Swapnote activity, I'm happy to finally be able to see it firsthand on Miiverse!

BTW, he announced on Twitter he's going to draw a sketch for every single level in NSMBU as he goes through the game, and I think he started already. It's pretty neat.

Yeah, Parish's art skills are pretty awesome.

(Nintendo) Marty Born - NintendoMarty [Marty]

His profile comment says: "Hi, I'm Marty from Nintendo of Europe."

I don't think he's a dev, but he obviously works for Nintendo in some way since he has the ✓ on his Mii. A quick search on LinkedIn shows a guy named Marty Born who works for NoE under "Administrator Product Planning", so I want to think this is him.

Thanks, I put him under Misc.

[Skiesofwonder]

This is an awesome thread, great work.

[rpmurphy]

Added Manfred and Bernhard from Shin'en to the list. I wonder if Martin Sauter is on Miiverse as well?

Bill Trinen might be there, as trintran (his Twitter handle). Same Mii.

[Oni Link 666]

I just saw Katsuhiro Harada post on the Tekken community. His NNID is HARADA_TEKKEN. He has a little web browser icon by the yeah button with a link to his Twitter on it. The Miiverse seems to have a few hidden features.

Thanks, that's pretty neat, albeit not too useful for us lowly commoners.

I just read that post and didn't even realize the check mark by his pic. Good to see devs posting and mingling with the community.

[DGRE]

Worthwhile thread. Seriously. Miiverse is making more and more sense.

[Def Jukie]

Couple of the 8-4 guys

John Ricciardi - johntv
Mark MacDonald - MarkMacD

[gypsyOtoko]

Thanks for making this thread. You rock.

[Neff]

Worthwhile thread. Seriously. Miiverse is making more and more sense.

It's essentially a heavily-policed, clean-cut fusion of Twitter, 4chan and DeviantArt, which is a lot better than it sounds, all seamlessly integrated into the console hub/gaming experience. It's extremely well-thought out, and a lot of fun.

[gingerbeardman]

Great thread, thanks for putting in the effort.
