Share Your Miiverse Memories On The "Everybody's Message Community"

Can't we just put the best of bad miiverse posts on this memory thing.

Shame this service never caught on.

Nintendo really cannot wait to kill everything that makes wii u unique right?, i mean switch doesn,t have anything that matches miiverse, the damn thing barely has an browser app.

I never really used Miiverse, but I'm still saddened by Nintendo's decision to shut it down. Nintendo might have some of the most dedicated fans in the industry, but so far Nintendo has unfortunately failed miserably, almost epically in terms of creating a community+ecosystem for said fans WITHIN the confines of their own devices and services.

I'm not just talking about achievements (for I personally really don't care), but the lack of even the most basic community features that translate between different pieces of hardware.

There is no problem using the Vita to check the status of friends - no matter if they are on the PS3, PS4 or another PSV. You can even send them messages and/ or invite to a partychat. You don't need a phone for that, or an extra app, or anything like that. Just a PS3/4/V device and a PSN account. The PS3 was released over 10 years ago ...

Nintendo should have used the Miiverse to build up their social-/ community-features. They are quite literally a decade behind the curve as it is =(

It's particularly odd to me, because Nintendo was always considered the most "social" of the Big Three. By now I guess that means only "family friendly", which in turn now just means "parents don't have to bother with parental controls, because there is nothing to control".

It's hard to believe that in this day and age, Nintendo has yet to fully come to grasp with the idea of using social capital for their own gain.

@MonkiPlays Access Miiverse through a different device, and save your posts on that.

@Ralek85 yeah, Nintendo is pretty terrible at all things 'modern gaming industry', save for Breath of the Wild.

Once the Switch fad drops off, much like the Wii fad did, it's going to be business as usual for the last place company.

Apparently they are going to be last place because they are taking down a trash social media platform

@MonkiPlays: Screengrabs/screenshots can be saved to a pc, or smart device. Same for hand-drawn/stamp/sticker posts. As for posts, you can use the printscreen function on pcs, to capture the image of the posts, then "paste" the screenshot to paint, or some other application, then save it.

@Everyone_Else: I still wanna know, Why can't Metroid crawl?! It's a simple question...

In all seriousness, I'm not making fun of the person who originally wrote that, the post itself is what's funny. I can understand a non-gamer, even an adult, still not understanding that the main character is only called Samus.

I also can understand people being saddened Miiverse is going. The only way I can think of, to abide by Miiverse rules, & still gives gamers an alternate means of communicating with you, is friending them, then video call them on the GamePad(such a noble name, in terms of its lineage/namesake, the Nes/SNes "control/Game pad").

I think Nintendo should just keep, & retool Miiverse. Obviously, they're not going to, as getting rid of it, distances themselves from the WU. Exclusive reliance on a single third-party social network, or multiple third-party social networks, is not a good idea. A better idea is having their own social platform, with the added options of 3rd party social networks. The issue to work around, or with here is an external service to the console, that has a lifespan not necessarily dependent on, or connected to, the console.

Edit: Not everything from a recent console, or past, needs to be distanced. Take good ideas going forward, & work them to your benefit, unless the very concept of the idea is not needed, at the moment, or for a particular thing.

@gatorboi352 I don't think that the Switch is a fad. Unlike the Wii which was based around a gimmick, the Switch is based around a a concept, Nintendo has been working towards since ... well, I'd say the Gameboy basically. That's the hardware, the device itself though. Considering the Switch offers at least HD (720p/1080p) capabilities, it's clearly Nintendo's (own) version of "going with the times".

The non-gimmicky controller setup, the HD-capabilities of the system, and the 'bringing-together' of Nintendo's strongest segment, handheld gaming, with homeconsole-level quality games, will prove the Switch a much more long-lasting success for Nintendo than the Wii ever could (I still kinda wonder how many people actually played anything on that device other than Wii Sports ^^).

Also, the games are also there this time around, and I don't really see that changing any time soon. Sure, the 3rd-party ports will never be as good or as frequent as on the PS/X/PC triangle, but still, from the looks of it, they'll be good enough - seeing as the got a Fifa ^^

But yeah, as I said, the software features, and the whole perspective beyond the singular device 'Switch' is pretty poor for Nintendo in terms of a sustained ecosystem and community. It as always been that way, so it's hardly surprising in and of itself. Yet, like I said, it is still disappointing and also odd, that the whole world is seemingly scrambling to get people to get people invested into their products and services (obviously financially, certainly emotionally and absolutely socially) ... well, the world except Nintendo ^^ Again, given the passion of their consumer, this feels almost absurd to me.

@gatorboi352 If NS lasts as long as Wii did, it will be at least some level of success.

And you know that coming from me, that's high praise.

@Ralek85 Wii sold over 900 million games and is still selling more! Your Wii hatred is ridiculous, biased and unfounded.

Rip memeverse

Does anyone know the progress of the guy that's backing up all of miiverse?

Just wished Games that actually used Miiverse communities would be an exception. All those stamps...

@gatorboi352 bahahahaha you're a delusional little troll! Off to your cave again, there soon will be some other bad news for you to comment as per usual

@gatorboi352

The Switch is not that much of a different concept to the Wii U in all honesty,this time the console is in the tablet rather than being separate with the Wii U.

As an owner of both devices however the Switch just feels so different and is a pretty cool looking piece of kit that will appeal to a much wider audience imo.

Also the fact Nintendo will pretty much be making games for one console will make things a lot easier on the software front,and there will be a Switch mini at some point to push sales even further.

The Nintendo switch just has a very positive vibe to it,the only people that seem to complain are people on NeoGaf and other videogame forums that like to complain about videogames more than they like to play them.

@Mahe Could you point out where I expressed "Wii hatred"? I mean, I have a Wii and it's certainly my least favourite Nintendo home console to date, but I don't "hate" it. I just happen to think it was built around a gimmick - which it was. I also happen to think that the lack of HD capabilities severely limited it potential with 3rd-party developers - which it did. And I have not forgotten that it took quite the doing on part of the community to get (arguably) the best non-Mario games unto the system, certainly the more interesting ones, namely Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower.

That such effort was necessary is esp. disappointing to me as an avid RPG gamer (seeing as the Wii was not exactly packed with great exclusives jRPGs/RPGs).

Anyways, and long story short. I think the Wii hit the 'zeitgeist' like few other gaming devices, but at the same time I - you might call me a 'core gamer' - felt left a bit out in the cold by all the waggle-controls, the tons of shovelware (that's simply a fact) and the truly out of date (not just marginally) technical capabilities of the system.

Call me a hater if you must, but I'm not. I stuck with Nintendo, even though I had my gripes with the Wii. If I had said gripes, and if I indeed were a hater, I certainly wouldn't have picked up a Wii U ...

Criticism =/= Hate, at least I hope we can agree about that.

I'm sad Miiverse is lost, but it kinda went weird one moment. It became a sort of lair for weird fanfics and pseudo-dating. Also, everyone constantly complained about it...

@gatorboi352 Nintendo Handhelds are no fad indeed

@Kosmo "It became a sort of lair for weird fanfics and pseudo-dating." Are you referring to that "Miiverse After Dark" garbage?

@Enigminator Not only that. Maybe I just hung out on the wrong communities and profiles but I came across quite a few weird posts.
