Support NeoGAF

[Bumhead]

Considering Miiverse had a bit more going than just a "glorified webapp" (such as doodle comments and screencapping), it would make sense that the Miiverse would integrate with the 3DS at an OS level. They would have to make it so you can screencap your games and post them on the Miiverse with relative ease. (Most likely the Miiverse would appear along the row of icons where Game Notes and Friends List are.)

Don't forget that with the Miiverse, things would be now tied to your NNID, which means they would have to overhaul how the entire Friend Code system works to accomodate NNID screennames instead.

Hopefully. Would be good for the friends system and Swapnote to be integrated on 3DS.

Just to clarify, me saying "glorified web app" wasn't a slur against Miiverse. I was just under the impression that all they had planned for 3DS was access to Miiverse via the existing web browser, rather than an actual OS level app.

This kind of thread and the people asking for and thanking people for yeahs is why I don't use Miiverse that much anymore. This used to be a nice forum.

I know what you mean but atleast you can block the people who's posts you don't like. I think the upcoming user-made communities will help to gather interesting users together.

Wait what? all I'm seeing there is a lively debate about wether or not Nintendo should do a conference?? Wrong Link?

 

[Dantis]

I've never understood the point of Miiverse, though it seems cool that people can get their doodles and screens from the web now.

Is it that significant though? Nintendo seem to want to push it as one of their innovations, and it just seems like a message board to me...

I'm seeing a thread about E3 conferences in the Monster Hunter 3 community, full of people who can't spell worth a shit.

It is "just a message board", but no other message board in the world integrates with Wii U games. You won't see GAF posts while playing New Super Mario Bros U. Moreover, this is now a super easy way to get screenshots of things, rather than pointing your iPhone at the telly.

You can share funny doodles, and it can be integrated in games. Beat a level in a record time? You can post about it and share a screenshot. Fall in a bottomless pit? You can read the angry/desperate messages of other people who did.

Were else should they discuss it?

Where

I don't know? IGN? GameFAQs?

You can take advantage of character not available on the Wii U's keyboard.

Yes, playing a multiplayer mode on your own is horrifically cute.

They gave a talk at GDC about their future plans for Miiverse, which included things like launching a game at a certain point directly from a post, using the impending sub-communities feature to run tournaments for game titles that support it, and a bunch of other stuff.

And because a lot of this is implemented outside of the framework of Wii U firmware it's easy to modify, all it takes is for games to support the expanded API.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Use these however you want.

Major thanks.

 

[Robin64]

Let's not forget the Virtual Console ones

Or these misc ones:

Can't see a way to view other region communities on the web app, mind.

 

[JimboJones]

Kinda dissapointed they don't give you access to your friend list and message inbox.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Bug/feature report:

Miiverse online uses whatever language your device is set to and does not give you the option to switch languages on the fly.

In case someone is going to reply with "den y u set ur device like that", you obviously don't live in a bilingual household. The standard way of doing things for a multilingual website is to guess a user's language from their system language, but to allow a manual switch; and best practice would also have a user level option that upon login, a user can specify a default language for future sessions.

 

[wrowa]

Only being able to see a selected few highlights of the Miiverse without owning a Wii U kinda defeats the point of the webapp, doesn't it? Of course, you can now interact easier and on the go, but most of the content is still being locked away from the public.

I like the idea of the Miiverse, but social media is an important marketing tool. You should want as many people as possible seeing the cool things people discover in your games, so that they want to get their hands on the console too, but instead Nintendo locks away the appeal in some kind of vacuum exclusive to the few Wii U owners. They're taking way too long for the 3DS Miiverse too...

Bug/feature report:

This is why they need a general Miiverse community for this kind of feedback.

I suppose you could post it as a response to this news post:

You can switch language on the login screen. Pretty stupid it's not anywhere else though.

Yeah, that 100 character limit can be a pain, though I suppose if you plan it out you can cut your message up and paste it quickly in parts.

Yeah, but it could be that for the moment they're reducing stress on the servers by restricting access for non-registered users. Not sure if that'll change eventually, but hopefully.

It does, in the user menu at the bottom.

Yeah I just found it too:

Just click the language and a pop up appears.

So without a Wii U I cannot create an account? Guess I'll have to wait fo it to get to the 3DS

 

[JavyOO7]

Hmm. I like this except for one exception... I really wish the Wii U's OS music was playing as I'm browsing Miiverse through the web...

 

[UncleSporky]

From the login page:

At this time must mean they are planning to let users create their NNID from somewhere else in the future.

Or perhaps they aren't, since all it says is "at this time" which simply means "at this time" and there is nothing saying "we will later allow NNID creation from other devices."

But 3DS is likely.

Not sure how I missed that the first time around, thanks. There's also one at the top-right of the login page. I could swear those weren't there when I checked before! D'oh!

*edit* Ooops....wrong thread...


Well....Great stuff that its possible to keep track anywhere now...

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Maybe the reason the 3DS version is taking so long is because they're releasing it simultaneously with a massive eShop update that unifies your Wii U account with your 3DS one. I can dream....

 

[H13]

is miiverse the new Nsider?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Closest thing we've got to an officially sanctioned Nintendo community since then, so yeah I'd say so. One of the worst things they've done in my eyes, closing that place down.

I have a feeling that they might try to integrate it with Swapnote in some way.

That makes too much sense, so it won't happen.

Someone just made an Android app version of Miiverse. It is basically just a wrapper around the site at this point. Hopefully he will add image saving and link sharing.

So I thought hey great, now I can check my notifications without turning on the Wii U.

Just my luck.

How long until user-created Miiverse communities can be created?

 

[BGBW]

How long until user-created Miiverse communities can be created?

No idea, but they keep using Wii Fit as an example so a safe guess would be around the time of Wii Fit's launch.

 

[Hero of Legend]

I doubt it, but are any 3DS games on Miiverse? Considering that LMDM is I THINK, others should as well no?

 

[Sendou]

How long until user-created Miiverse communities can be created?

It is currently coming only for games that support it. Wii Fit U is the first one.

I doubt it, but are any 3DS games on Miiverse? Considering that LMDM is I THINK, others should as well no?

Not currently. There will be though.
