Actually Wii U still uses "friends codes" as a back-up system in the event Miiverse is blocked and turned off, such as by parental controls.
I could see the 3DS update retaining its friend/system code but within that context: it's a backup way to add friends, and the primary way is now via Miiverse.

On the screenshots, some people had Luigi Mansion shots, unless you can do that in-game, screenshots are in.
I love how you don't even have to close the game to use it, props to Nintendo for getting that to work!

Wow, that's pretty sweet.
Also, I just discovered the official page: http://www.nintendo.com/3ds/built-in-software/miiverse

So how slow this gonna be?
Really depends on how well they handle data caching on this next update.
I recall the previous one actually updated the browser so now it runs smoother than it initially was released in.

Did it say WHEN the 3DS update is coming?
I think NOE said December, but I don't recall the NOA ND saying anything.

"Next month"
Awww yeah! I can't wait to interact with people in other games, there better be a Rune Factory 4 board since I just started the game. Have to see who other people's waifus are 
I'll also be using it for ALBW since I decided to pick the game up after going through the launch trailer.

Next month, no date. ):

Not sure where you read that? The main quality of Miiverse is that you need a Wii U (soon a 3DS) to post, meaning it's close to being troll-free, and on top of that you can filter out comments from people who don't own the game.
Hmm? A of Nintendo fans here love Miiverse, just like any community though you'll get people who hate it for some reason and indifference (which is understandable). I'm super excited myself, it'll be fun to share stuff with others online, knowing that there will be proper moderation.
There have been many posts and threads about how great Miiverse is. It's full of amazing art, it's a way to share screenshots and accomplishments, it's a venue to ask questions and get answers quickly. But best of all, it creates a persistent sense of community, always in the background, and is positive in tone, although you can still politely air criticisms of games, Nintendo, etc, without fear of censorship. It's a great feature that makes the very act of playing the system feel alive and more involving, just knowing it's there.
Miiverse is a Twitter clone, with the main differences being that there are also communities for games where you can post messages to (instead of being seen just by your followers), you can post hand-written messages, and you can post screenshots of software you're running in the background (for when you can go back to the home menu).
I can't wait a whole month for this. Curse you, Nintendo.
I don't think they'll be getting rid of it since they're not forcing the NNID onto everyone. Hopefully everyone on your friends list is automatically transferred as a Miiverse friend (or however that works).

Eh, cross buy is more up to the publishers.
I can see a Fire Emblem community in the screenshots, so it's safe to say it's in.
I partically want a New Leaf one (gauranteed) and a MonHun one!
NNIDs are locked on country, so nope.
I'm getting a 3DS XL next month so this is pretty good timing! I love the Miiverse so I'm interested to see how similar it is on the 3DS, and if there are any additional drawing features (a zoom would be nice given how much smaller the screen is).
One thing that'll be great is having a larger user-base as it's a bit of a shame that the older game communities are dying out. Zombi U, for example, was uber-popular at the start of the year but has sadly fizzled out a bit. Even popular games on the Virtual Console (like Super Metroid) don't get much attention at the moment, which sucks.
With that out of the way, it's time for a SHAMELESS REPOST OF MY OLD MIIVERSE PICTURES!

Awesome pics Bumhat, very talented work here! It'll be sweet to see what you can come up with for Miiverse.
I'd love a "Too bad, Waluigi time!" picture to go alongside Luigi, that would be really neat.

Awesome right after I get my 3DS too!
That stinks. I really wanted to get a US 3DS but I'm not sure I can put up with two different NNIDs.

Good to hear about this. I wonder whether Miiverse will get upgrades to have more color throughout like Swapnote did. In addition, will you be able to send messages between people in the same way as Swapnote?

This is great. Miiverse screenshots are probably a given considering how the Notes app works.
You can report people on Miiverse and they can be banned. That would be the major difference.

Taking the expected date with and pinch of salt, I expect it to be on the 31st of December..
