Honestly, I really really really really hope there's some way to stick a game onto a file server and run them like that.
Think about it, stick it on... And emulators.
Although I doubt they'd do that, but that'd go a way towards making a closed/open hybrid system, which in itself would be cool as hell.

well with Unity (for free), HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS support from Nintendo, it wil be interesting to see if Indies will show heavy support for the WiiU, or if they do the same as the 3rd Party companies. But I'm expecting a really bright future for the e-shop with these announcements
Good to finally get a (rough) date on the web version.
What about the 3ds version?! That's the important one!

Yeah, it was at GDC 2011 where Reggie said Nintendo weren't interested in doing business with garage developers. Fast-forward two years, and garage devs and small indies are the ONLY third-parties Nintendo are interested in doing business with!
Technically, yes.

This is fucking awesome.
Yes, I would also like to know if there was any talk about the 3DS version as well.
A web version of miiverse is cool an all, but I want that integrated on my 3DS first!

come to think of it, were we ever actually promised a 3ds version? or was it just a web version so it would run on 3ds anyway

Nice! Nintendo is clearly serious about getting indie support.

I'd say you are wrong there. This is an industry first for a console manufacturer and a complete turnaround from Nintendo.
There's massive potential if developers decided to get involved.

it doesn't matter until we see content. it's just a wait and see thing. E3 should be good enough time maybe?
In a Nikkei interview in January Iwata reaffirmed their intention to bring Miiverse to 3DS, and he used Animal Crossing as an example.
There is rich content already on iOS. It looks like converting to Wii U is a breeze. And also free.
But we'll see what developers make of this. There is massive potential and Nintendo could crack open a whole new market on home consoles.

I did read through the thread so far yet I'm not sure I understand the implications of this.

I'm expecting them to just rework the CSS of miiverse to include media queries (which basically change the structure of the page depending on the width of the users screen). That way they can just make a 'Miiverse' 3DS app which is just the 3DS web browser.

i'll consider buying content on wii u if they ever figure out how to not link account with system.
Angry Birds but with goombas.

So if I have some idea for a videogame I can just go hire some Indians off oDesk to program it for me and I can just upload it?
You can always download the free apps.

I do think there's a danger in opening the floodgates like this though. Reggie might have just been spewing shit at GDC 2011, but Iwata seemed pretty convinced that cheap iOS games were a fast-track to hell for the industry. I would be interested to know if he's rethought his position on this. I suspect someone will ask him as much at the next investor Q&A...

yeah it should be quite easy to do seeing as miiverse wii u is just the wii u web browser, just got worried for a sec as the original mention was pretty vague i think

They always maintained that Web/Smartphone was the priority, I thouhgt.

It's pretty comforting too that the 3DS has OS-level screen capturing for game notes. Seems like Miiverse would at least have most of the same features as the WiiU version.
No, they are actual game apps. Just think as it as another way developers can create games for the eShop

I remember reading the browser is limited in what it can do with html5. That is to prevent people just playing.any free html 5 game.
This is pretty big. Wii u gamepad may become my favorite console controller so far.
Great. I have some ideas in my mind, maybe someday I'll start developing them :lol

This is actually pretty big and could really help setting the wii u apart from the ps4/720. They just don´t have a pad to run ios apps on.
