Miiverse, Wii U Chat and Tvii Shutdown In November

Blade · November 8, 2017

So idiotic of Nintendo not carrying on with Miiverse.

I wouldn't say idiotic, there's a very good reason they haven't put it on Switch. Still a massive shame though, a very clever idea and easily the best thing about the Wii U.

It's a shame Miiverse is gone, Nintendo could have updated it on Switch and added a Twitter integration to it (aka share Miiverse posts with a touch of a button, thus free advertising). It was the best thing about the WiiU at times.

I don't see what's really stopping them running a web or app based version of Miiverse which you can post to directly from the Switch, like you can to Twitter or FB. Seems like a waste really.

Miiverse was really good when it was integrated into a game like Splatoon or Mario Maker. I remember using it for Mario 3D World when I first got it, to help me find the last few stars I needed. I really liked the way they had messages from people relating to the stage you had just completed or died on, scrolling past the top and bottom of the page on the score screen. I thought it worked really well because at a tap of a button you could reply to a message you saw or leave one for others to see. I used that to get help on a several of the harder to find stars and it felt great to have instant help from a friendly community that were all playing the game at the same time you were. Also there were some amazing artists on there, every game had some amazing drawings on its respective Miiverse page and it was always cool to check that out.

I also remember switching on Splatoon the morning after Iwata had passed away and seeing the hub area covered with graffiti and messages all taken from Miiverse in tribute to him

Miiverse was a pretty good feature and its a shame its not being continued for the Switch.

Ah, I think I forgot to request my posts for my Japanese NNID. Not that I had many on there...

So I sent a request for my Miiverse posts back when the shutdown was announced, am I supposed to get an e-mail or something?

Yeah, you should get an email. They

said it might take a few weeks to arrive, mind.

The email with my Miiverse post history arrived a little while ago. It's... quite impressive, actually.

Sadly though it didn't save any of the post comments - not even my own - and I can't check who Yeah'd my posts... but I do think I have one more Yeah on my final drawing than when I last checked it!

Man, I miss Miiverse so much... and I'm gonna miss it even more when I start my Apollo Justice playthrough tomorrow... *sighs*

I got my e-mail earlier today and I'm pretty impressed with just how much they managed to save.

Not only do you get your posts - which I haven't properly checked out all of yet - but you get all of your screenshots and also images of your Mii with the various expressions plus icons for all the of the games which you posted in the community of providing you played the game or used the application. (I think)

It might be good to see how many game icons we all have between us, I'll probably even end up using some of them for certain game boxarts for the site as they are seemingly around the right size and are decent quality too. :peace:
