"Miiverse essentially is a social network, but designed and focused around just gaming. Where, when you were younger, when you were kids, I remember when I was a kid I would play video games a lot. In school, a lot of times what I would end up doing is, like, Oh, I found this awesome secret in World 4″ or like, where people started finding, like, the secret pipes in new Mario Bros. or how to use the Flute in Zelda. Things like that. Youd share that frustration, where you had to find magazines or have to go talk to your friends in person.
The idea of that is taking that whole concept of where people can share that information, or your high scores, or what youve accomplished so far in certain games in this kind of centralized social network called Miiverse, where youll see different Mii characters and theyll be gathered where the games are. Lets say, like, Melvin for example just beat my Boost Rush Mode score, my time he beat my time. So now Im inspired now to get on and go Ive got to beat Melvins score and keep pushing that way. Or you could say say Melvin just beat World 8″ or whatever world in whatever game
I know I need to catch up to Melvin. And theres things like that youll be sharing.
You can even share things, and post your own messages and
interact with each other in kind of a really enjoyable way
You also have the ability to do video chat with the GamePad, with its own camera built on top. You can video chat with anyone in the world who has another Wii U, and thats all free, thats all built-in to the system."
