There's a bundle.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Wiiu sales improve from July onwards from first party titles.

From Game & Wario and Pikmin?

 

[Artemisia]

nintendo gal, we all know what you mean when you say by the end of the year. 11:59 PM on December 31st

 

[Zoramon089]

Or maybe... after July? Just a thought.

Then he would say after July...but hearing Pikmin 3 is releasing in Japan in July probably explains it

 

[Htown]

92% total. Say what?

maybe they mean 2/3 of the download copies were purchased as codes in retail locations?

 

[Gonzo The Great]

What the fuck?

Its showing my posts in your pictures. Did you hack my account or something? The fuck??

[The Elite]

Can you only browse Miiverse online? Or can you make posts?

I haven't been able to make a post on my iPad. Browsing is easy though.

 

[Thorakai]

Plz Iwata Miiverse 3DS date and account info.

 

[Kyou]

92% total. Say what?

2/3rds of the download titles were purchased at retail? They sell game cards in Japan.

 

[Battle Born]

Yo....can we do inception?

Like, log into the web Miiverse using the Wii U browser?

:O

No, I've just tried it. It tells you to push the Home button and to tap the Miiverse icon.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

92% total. Say what?

they probably mean 2/3rds bought the digital voucher at retail

edit: beaten by Kyou

Anecdotally, I was in a gamestop the other day and a grandma was there with two grand daughters trying to buy Luigi's Mansion 2.
It was out of stock (of course), so they ended up leaving the store empty-handed even though they were offered the download voucher by the clerk.

They can tout digital sales all they want, but most people still want a physical copy or need to be educated about the eShop.

 

[grimshawish]

Not really sure what 25% vs 2/3 means, where is the other 8%?

They have retail digital cards. 2/3's digital cards, 1/3 eshop.

 

[Stoof]

92% total. Say what?

It might mean 2/3s of the 25% was digital download codes purchased at retail.

This happens lol:

If I try to access it through the Wii U it just says to press the Home menu and to select the Miiverse there.

Download cards are sold at retail in Japan.

 

[wheapon]

You can actually post to miiverse from your computer, but you can only comment on posts, you can't make new ones. Also, it doesn't seem you can draw pictures.

 

[SolarPowered]

Are they actually using positive Kotaku articles to hype up the 3DS? Really?

 

[jvm]

Pretty sure that means 2/3 of the 25% were card purchases at retail.

Nintendo was pretty big about partnering with retail for digital sales.

 

[redmetal86]

No, I've just tried it. It tells you to push the Home button and to tap the Miiverse icon.

Awww.

 

[qizah]

Miiverse from my phone. Web app works fine.

 

[Brofield]

Well, I'll be damned. Miiverse on PC.

I'm bummed though Pikmin 3 isn't until August 4th.

 

[Stoof]

Is it just me or can you only make comments on existing posts on PC Miiverse?

You can actually post to miiverse from your computer, but you can only comment on posts, you can't make new ones. Also, it doesn't seem you can draw pictures.

Guess it's not just me.

 

[Pyrokai]

I seriously feel like a unified account between 3DS/Wii U/eShops/Nintendo Network is right around the fucking corner.

I can feels it. All the feels.

 

[ShellyDeKiller]

We can finally save images.

Wish they were full size though.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Miiverse from my phone. Web app works fine.

Wow this is awesome

 

[diaspora]

As a non-Wii U owner, do you need to have a Wii U to have a Nintendo Network ID or is a 3DS enough?

 

[Rebel Leader]

Sweet miivers on web

 

[dkeane]

Why doesn't the miiverse on my WiiU load as fast as this?

 

[jvm]

As a non-Wii U owner, do you need to have a Wii U to have a Nintendo Network ID or is a 3DS enough?

At this time, it is only possible to create a Nintendo Network ID on a Wii U console. (This is different from a Club Nintendo account ID.)

(From the sign-in page.)

 

[Tallshortman]

lol positive kotaku articles about 3DS will save the wii u.

 

[DaBoss]

As a non-Wii U owner, do you need to have a Wii U to have a Nintendo Network ID or is a 3DS enough?

So far you need a Wii U. Hopefully in the future the 3DS has the same account system.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

It will.

Believe in the update.

Believe

 

[Brofield]

Website says Wii U for now, but I'm sure once they get Miiverse loaded onto 3DS you can log in with it then.

 

[GAMERG0D]

Mobile version already? Nice.

yea me too. I mean by the end of the year means at any time before the start of 2014.

 

[GulAtiCa]

At this time, it is only possible to create a Nintendo Network ID on a Wii U console. (This is different from a Club Nintendo account ID.)

I hope it stays that way. Not to be mean to anyone who wants in and can't currently, but I feel the place wouldn't be the same if it was everyone.

... So, friend code for the 3DS, club nintendo for perks, and NNID for Wii U. Whut

 

[-Horizon-]

I guess if the 3DS version isn't going to be out yet, I can just have fun and browse the online site on my ipad. Looking pretty good.

 

[Snakeyes]

In Japan wiiu will get suica card compatibility in near future to enable easy payment. Suica used for trains here

 

[axisofweevils]

When I try to access miiverse via the 3DS browser, I get an "The internet browser you are using cannot be used to access Miiverse" message.

 

[TheChits]

Sweet miivers on web

Some of the detail I see in miiverse drawings just blows me away

 

[Diggeh]

Old? Web Miiverse seems to be somewhat functional.

https://miiverse.nintendo.net/

Cool! You can get images of your drawings now!

 

[Sandfox]

Friend Codes will probably be replaced when Miiverse comes to the 3DS.

Yea I realized that after the fact.

Laughing at myself so hard. Sorry Aqua.

Probably means something about NFC.

 

[Mik2121]

In Japan wiiu will get suica card compatibility in near future to enable easy payment. Suica used for trains here

Suica and all the other IC cards are now working together, so I assume (hope?) we can also use our own IC cards that are not Suica for payments as well (I have sugoca, which is from Fukuoka...)


BTW, for those that don't know, Suica is an IC card used for transport (you put some charge on it and just put the card on top of the scanner to get through fast). All big cities have those cards and since last month all of them work everywhere instead of being a different card for each area. I assume the payment stuff is the same as well, but I wonder if you can do it by just putting the card on top of the WiiU controller with the NFC scanner thing.

 

[SmokeMaxX]

Wow interesting. Suica cards are awesome. Probably implement NFC into them.

[Schnozberry]

Wow this is awesome

Yes it is. I hope they make more "mature" communities that isn't so tightly moderated at some point. I know they need to protect kids from all of the dick drawings, but it would be nice to have a section for adults cordoned off.
