seems like a fully featured Social Network the only killer would be not being instant.
So I hope that IM is Instant to your friends like a Private chat. Public post would be delayed but private chats would go real time?
we will have to see how it all works out but for now this is one of the best things about the WiiU to me.

But this is in real time? I saw this and thought it was like demons souls. Ditto with zombi u
Well see that's my concern. If it's just a random wall people can post on that's not any better than a Steam Community and is just barely better than the Vita start screen for each game.

a game does not have to code for Miiverse to hit home and chat about that game on Miiverse. The icon for the game will be on the plaza surrounded by lots of Miis you can click and post about it click again get back to your action. I am not sure if Ubisoft would just want to code block that feature when it is built into the OS level
There is no 30 minutes to an hour vetting process for normal posting. Only if you are flagged by your community multiple times for being a jackass will your posts be vetted. And then you deserved it.

When #Miiverse is trending on twitter within the first 72 hours Ill laugh at all of you. This thing is gonna be big.

The 360 has done this and lost focus on games lately. Nintendo needs to just do games, and do them well. If i want all the online stuff ill just go to my 360. Going all out with online doesnt appeal to me whatsoever.
Ill be skipping the wii-u altogether, or just be a end cylcle adopter. Like the original wii.
Yeah becasue Twitter trends indicate a good console right? Dont forget that the wii was a mainstream focus too. That fell flat on its face.
Never been happier i kept my 64+Cube.

That seems reasonable, then.
Yea okay so this is essentially community for random people talking about a game. Are invites, challenges to friends, and messages in miiverse as well?

If true I must say I like that feature I like it a lot.
Thanks. I too need to watch that again.

ZombiU's writing message on wall have been mentioned here as a Miiverse feature. Has Ubisoft said this?
I was thinking this is a feature in the game code / if that is Miiverse they changed your ability to use text or draw because they only give you a series of survival/zombie related icons to make up a coded message. I am sure it uses Miiverse in someways but that posting messages on walls in game seems to be something else entirely.

There is no delay. We've known that for months.
Not everyone is urgently waiting for a response and not everyone knows about gamefaqs (or wants to turn on the computer, load gamefaqs, search for the game, pick a walkthrough/guide, find where they are in the game, do a comparison/second opinion, etc.).
I'm sure there are plenty of people who will be happy to get stuck, post a question, and move on. Where move on might be stop playing games for the day, switch to watching tv, play a different game. Or some games like Mario allows the player to skip the level (p-wing), but the player probably is still interested in learning how to beat it or find the secrets.
For each of those options of "move on," potentially the player never comes back, but Miiverse actually gives something for the person to look forward to and to make progress in the game.
Again like the p-wing or invincibility in Mario to assist the player, Nintendo is providing ways to help the player stay engaged instead of giving up forever. More people playing games for longer times is a good thing in Nintendo's eyes.
I don't play a lot of games online but isn't it always better to have the invite menu right there in the actual game you're playing? That's how I've always seen it used and I liked it that way.
Why would it not be instant?!

There's also the fact there's nothing stopping them from doing that stuff (e.g gamefaqs and good) on the wii u itself. Probably be easier too given the touch screen.

It means it's a port that didn't take advantage of it...but if you're saying someone playing AC3 won't be able to access Miiverse? I don't think that's true. It's OS level. You'll always be able to pause a game to use it
If? Reggie answered this EXACT question a while back. It IS true
My bad. That sounds much better.
That was the last time I paid attention to Miiverse, I thought it couldn't get worse after that. Granted it barely made sense, but I didn't how that could even be misconstrued through translation.

these are just per-game features it would be up to the publisher to code for Miiverse in game all of those things you are asking could just be coded for a game. Not ever game will use Miiverse the same it seems from demos.
the example I gave you was for when a publisher decides not to code at all for Miiverse you will still have a community right there for you.

well I guess it is, since the guys here just reminded me of Reggie's old answer to this question.
Things can change though. Nintendo is not like Microsoft. One incident going viral in the media could make them change policy. Bullying etc...

Nope but it'll indicate Miiverse will be big. Also dont forget Wii won this generation.

I wasn't aware the Wii had been surpassed as the top selling console this gen.

don't speak his name in a Miiverse thread it would give him ideas to troll posts over the TW101 icon
You could just as well pop up the fully featured browser without having to quit out of the game and google whatever needs googling.

2 weeks before launch we'll learn that it's not account-based. We'll have a single friend code for the system and digital purchases will still be tied to the system. There's no systemwide achievements support, but you can totally roll your own, devs, and maybe have a notification pop up. And it's all coming in a firmware update to be made available soon after launch. Next year we'll get the firmware update that allows games to be patched.
Basically I have no hope for Nintendo to get online right.
No, but people do buy Xbox 360's and continue to buy games on 360 in order to stay plugged into Xbox Live. Live has pretty much been the 360's main killer app this generation. PSN's inferiority to Live is the main grievance people bring against the PS3, even though it has almost all the same games now.
If Nintendo can make it a compelling experience to play games with MiiVerse attached, it could attract an audience.

Exactly like I stated in the Wii U thread facebook and twitter have huge audiences at that almost everyone has one or the other. Miiverse is its own thing but just like those 2 you can easily upload a picture to miiverse and at the same time that one picture can also be sent to fb or twitter at the same time. 2K13 was just trending on twitter a few days ago, with the Miiverse option to take screen grabs of games and upload them online that trend could of been alot more intensified. People playing the game uploading screen grabs of cool or funny in game happenings and what not. I dont have a twitter but for miiverse I may open one. Most likely day one I will probably do something like take a picture of the wii U with the gamepad and post it to Miiverse, fb, and twitter just to see how it works.

Although im strictly talking about my circle of friends of course,
The wii is too "kiddy" in its product image. I dont see the mainstream getting wii fever like they did first time around. I mean the wii was massive. People who dont game were buying wiis left right and centre.
Same thing that happened to Guitar hero/Rock band will happen to wii. Its life cycle is over. The mainstream wont go wii crazy this holiday period as its not as unique a product as the wii was initially.
Nintendo wont be able to capture that market segment, they just wont. Wheres Guitar hero and Rock Band now? Exactly.
Meanwhile the core gamers have adopted the PS3/360. I know none of my friends or people i go to college with are going to pick up a wii u. Its just too kiddy. Dont get me wrong we occasionally run some smash bros and Mario Kart etc.
But that alone isnt enough to sell a system.
The Wii-U is banking on recapturing that mainstream non gamer market, I just dont see lightning striking twice.

And that's what they said about COD when they added the emblem editor. That game may as well be rated AO.

How does Miiverse work?
In my opinion it's easier, quicker, and more consistant for every single game on the platform to use the same system. If they want to implement some sort of in game menu to quickly access that system that's another thing.

Watch the nintendo tvii demo at 8 mins.
Im telling you guys nintendo is on to something here. They will be getting a whole new audience with this.
This is pretty much asking Nintendo to play nice with third parties in territory where Nintendo wants to stake a claim. Not going to happen.

Well that and assuming everyone is a 7 year old child or a 62 year old pedophile. Yes Nintendo, there are other age groups that play your systems online.
