Wii U update prepares Miiverse for December 3DS debut

4.7
Nintendo's homegrown social network Miiverse has been updated with new aesthetics options in preparation for its imminent jump to the 3DS handheld.

Three key changes have been employed in this update. Most crucially, the communities found in Miiverse can now be sorted according to a number of different criteria, such as "Virtual Console" or "Wii U Software." This is even more helpful than you'd expect as the update also increases the number of communities a player can view at once to a level that would seem unwieldy were it not for the new filters.

Nintendo has also instituted changes to your Miiverse profile page and to the communities themselves. Now, instead of seeing the total number of Yeahs you've offered other players' posts, you'll only find a number indicating how many Yeahs a post has received. Viewing posts in communities has also changed, as now Miiverse will first display posts from those who have actually played the community's game of choice, instead of displaying newest posts first, regardless of who they came from.

Miiverse is slated to hit the 3DS in December. There's no solid date on when that might happen, but a new 3DS social network delivered just prior to Christmas might help bolster Nintendo's holiday revenues.

HxD Wii U is awful no one likes it lol


You mean "you" personally don't like it and probably have never owned one.Kids today,seriously,what a bright future human kind have.Anyways sounds good to me :)


You have to admit though, that the sales of the Wii have been down for the last year and probably never will go up. I've never been a fan of the Wii.


Sales have been slow yes no one can deny it and the lack of games and non existent advertising haven't helped as people either think it's a Wii or some kind of add on and not a brand new console or it's a new hand held.Hopefully Mario 3D World will be the start of some changes.Remember how slow sales of the 3DS were at 1st and now it's selling like crazy,although the strong lineup of great games and 3rd party support helps a great deal.

Centurial Pretty sweet, my brother is most likely getting a 3DS for Christmas so it'll be cool to see how this looks.


On the Wii U, there is a separate Animal Crossing App for that.

I would love for that to come over to the 3DS and also have a Pokemon one.
