The Miiverse changes will change how the Miiverse as a whole in my opinion as I can see Nintendo is changing it like it wants to build it again with new rules.

wonderfulmonkeyman3962d ago

I'm liking the play journal idea.
It's like a way of creating your own personal achievements/trophies through in-game pics.
I get the feeling there's gonna be some pretty creative contests using that...

Mostafeto3962d ago

That's a wonderful idea you know. Contests on the Miiverse can be very entertaining if done properly.

Dumb...dumb...dumb...dumb....D UMBBBBBBBBB

So they peruse around at HOW their customer are using their product, and since we aren't following THEIR plan, they want to place artificial limits?

Way to thank everyone who bought an overpriced and underpowered console with little support. (oh I have one..day 1)

But since Nintendo made a clunker loser of a console, they should be happy that there are people enjoying it in ANY WAY POSSIBLE.

It's not their fault they made Miiverse and thought it would be like how Sony stupidly thought Playstation Home would be.

What is it with Japanese companies who think this boring crap is going to be 'hot stuff'?

So Nintendo didn't make it engaging about games, and helping others enough, and so now they want limit the customers who have stuck around? Wow, talk about a stab in the back.

Maybe if you had more than 2-3 games a year worth buying, people would actually have a reason to talk about games.

Last I checked, one such game that people would no doubt need help on, Zelda, isn't on the console.

Nintendo, quit using your time on crap like this. Make more games. Make a console that doesn't have the equivalent of $10 of power in it by today's standards.

I get making changes to make it better.

But the limits are downright insulting.

Oh noes, they are straying from the script....time to limit them!

The last thing Nintendo needs to do is alienate it's customers, but here they are, acting like morons again.

Oh and Nintendo, maybe people would be TALKING ABOUT GAMES, IF YOU ACTUALLY HAD VOICE CHAT IN YOUR GAMES.

Nintendo, bass ackwards about everything these days.

Mostafeto3962d ago

I have to agree to that first part about Nintendo wanting people to use their products in the way they WANT AND IMAGINED YOU playing it and that's just way too much restricted freedom. You should release your product and let people use it the way they see it and the way it entertains them.

BrandanT3962d ago

Why can't Nintendo just let people have their own experiences with it?
People are still willing to help and talk about games so I don't a problem with being off-topic from time to time.

Seriously Nintendo needs to enable party chat into its online service

Skate-AK3962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

They might not be able to do system wide party chat. There might not be enough bandwidth to do that on top of rendering the game and gamepad. Similar to the PS3 situation and party chat.

MSBAUSTX3962d ago

Play Monster Hunter on the Wii U. It has 4 person chat built into the game and uses the mic built "DIRECTLY" into the game pad.

PhoenixUp3962d ago

PS3 wasn't able to do party chat because its RAM was divided, whereas it was unified on 360. Vita achieved party chat, so Wii U has no excuse not to have it since it has more RAM than the aforementioned platforms.

wonderfulmonkeyman3962d ago

before we even think about petitioning for party chat, first we need to find a way to get Nintendo to stop being afraid of chat in general.
One step at a time, lest we look before leaping and end up going over a cliff.

BrandanT3962d ago

How do they expect me to use Miiverse just for games when they hardly release?
This year, there was only a couple titles released so far.

Mostafeto3962d ago

This year, the Wii U got less than 10 games released. I don't know why the Wii U even exists. Nintendo is starting to become the Nokia of the gaming industry.

wonderfulmonkeyman3962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

First party, maybe, but are you taking indies and third party games into account in that total?
I don't think you are.

@ Brandan

Have you even looked at how many communities there are in Miiverse?
Quite a few.

BrandanT3962d ago

@WonderfulMonkeyMan

How many of those are games that came out this year and how many are crap indie games?

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Online is the New Miiverse

With its new ways of both creating and sharing user-made content, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has become the unexpected successor to Nintendo’s beautiful disaster of a social media experiment Miiverse.

franwex2591d ago

Miiverse was insanity, and it was hilarious. It had a super strange community, there’s a bunch of YouTube videos about it.
I have smash ultimate, but haven’t checked out the new update. I’ll for sure take a look.

Snookies122591d ago (Edited 2591d ago )

I'm interested to check it out as well. Haven't played Smash in a while now... I think it was my issues with having multiple people play at once. The controller drifting and input lag was terrible. Not sure if they fixed that yet, but it was a pain to play when I had 3-4 friends on at the same time.

Gemmol2590d ago

Send your switch in not everyone have that issue, only one that listed that others experience is drifting issue but input lag and playing with 4 people do not have any issues

A Miiverse Eulogy: So Long to the First True Social Video Game Platform

The Miiverse gave myself, and so many others, a platform unlike any console had ever seen before. For once, our reactions to games, both about them generally and in the moment-to-moment, were given life in the games themselves. The Miiverse's concept was novel, fresh, new. It felt like the first true social video game platform. And it's a shame that it was for a console that hardly anyone actually played.
