Welcome, To The Miiverse!
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata tonight unveiled Miiverse for the Wii U at today’s Nintendo Direct conference. Miiverse is one of the first things you will see once you turn on your Wii U, and it shows your Mii’s, your friends Mii’s and also other Miis who are playing the same games. Somewhat similar to your 3DS friend list.
It is a bit like a Mii-based social network that is always online, and allows you to chat with your friends and others online about what games you are playing. You can also share content with others, use voice chat and messaging services. You can even use emoticons, handwriting and doodles. Nintendo Letterbox/Swapnote anyone?
Miiverse will be compatible with all Wii U games and they plan to allow Miiverse to have access through mobile phones, the web and the Nintendo 3DS. No news as to when this will be available yet.
What do you think of the Miiverse?
