Miiverse (social network): Difference between revisions
Gave this some proper sections, an image of the Miiverse stage, and added linkage to the pics of the day. This page could absolutely use some sprucing up - where's Bigley, for instance? So many Smash memes originated here.

'''Miiverse''' was a social network service developed by [[Nintendo]] and [[Hatena]] for [[Wii U]] and [[3DS]]. The service was primarily used to communicate and comment on most games and software for the systems. Users could follow and befriend other users, "Yeah" (like), and flag comments. | '''Miiverse''' was a social network service developed by [[Nintendo]] and [[Hatena]] for [[Wii U]] and [[3DS]].

As of November 8, 2017, the service has been discontinued. | ||
Miiverse featured a community originally named '''''Super Smash Bros.'' Series Community''', which was made into a community specifically for {{forwiiu}} and {{for3ds}}, where users could discuss the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, and post drawings and screenshots. There was a related Announcement Community, known as the '''Director's Room''', where [[Masahiro Sakurai]] used to post daily screenshots of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and provide short captions with them, and which was later used for Photo Challenges. | ==Communities== | ||

Although Miiverse was integrated as part of the 3DS Home Menu, playing {{for3ds}} prevented access to Miiverse and the Internet Browser due to RAM restrictions, unless the player is using a New Nintendo 3DS or a New Nintendo 3DS XL. However, as of [[List of updates (SSB4-3DS)|version 1.0.5]], users with the original model Nintendo 3DS could post [[snapshot]]s to Miiverse via the in-game Share menu. This function posted to a special community, the Snapshot Sharing Community. The Wii U version automatically uploaded shared screenshots to the Snapshot Sharing Community, shared [[custom stage]]s to the Stage Sharing Community, and [[replay]]s uploaded on [[YouTube]] to the Replay Viewing Community. All of these communities cannot be posted in by normal means, although they freely allowed comments on existing posts. | Although Miiverse was integrated as part of the 3DS Home Menu, playing {{for3ds}} prevented access to Miiverse and the Internet Browser due to RAM restrictions, unless the player is using a New Nintendo 3DS or a New Nintendo 3DS XL.

[[Miiverse|A stage based on Miiverse]] appears in {{forwiiu}} and featured actual Miiverse posts intended to cheer on the fighters in the battle. Every character in the game had their own "support community" from which these posts are drawn. After playing a match on the stage, players were prompted to make a support post for the winning character. | [[Miiverse|A stage based on Miiverse]] appears in {{forwiiu}} and featured actual Miiverse posts intended to cheer on the fighters in the battle.

The Miiverse social network was discontinued on November 8, 2017; as a result, the Miiverse stage no longer has posts displayed in the background, and users are unable to post new drawings to its communities. Players are also unable to post [[replay]]s to [[YouTube]]/Miiverse, [[share]] [[Stage Builder|custom stage]]s, or create and play in {{b|tourney|SSB4-Wii U}}s.<ref>[http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27329]</ref> However, fan-made efforts to restore the service and its functionality within games that utilized it have been taken since its shutdown. The most prominent effort being ''Juxtaposition'' by the creators of [https://pretendo.network/ Pretendo], which functions almost identically to its predecessor as a service and an integration into various Wii U and 3DS titles. | The Miiverse social network was discontinued on November 8, 2017; as a result, the Miiverse stage no longer has posts displayed in the background, and users are unable to post new drawings to its communities.
