You know how everyone completely loses it every time Facebook pushes a redesign live? It’s happening again — except this time it’s happening on Miiverse, Nintendo’s quirky social network. On July 29th Miiverse will be given its first major overhaul: a total redesign that adds new features, changes how game-specific communities work and, weirdly, imposes a daily post limit on all users. Why all the changes? According to Nintendo, the community has been using Miiverse, well, wrong.
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.
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.
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.
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
After shutting down a few months back, a few fans managed to collate Miiverse posts and save it on the internet.
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.
Nintendo is one to talk. They've been wrong in how they adapt to modern online services like PSN, XBL, and Steam.
You're only allowed 30 comments a day? I didn't even know that. Why is that even a thing? i swear they are such control freaks on the things they do and don't allow that aren't even necessary or can be done a better way.
I wasnt interested in miiverse anyways but this only further supports that notion
Maybe if there were actual games to talk about and create communities around, people wouldn't be occupied with finding something else to do with Miiverse other than it's original intent.
l love Nintendos stubborn naivety of how consumers will respond to their products and any form of user to user communication. Their minds are gonna explode when they see that no one is going to report vulgar creations in mario world maker. lol
from my own personal experience, mii verse is just a place where kids draw, some Europeans ask for help and teenage boys draw giant genitalia eating Peach.
