The end of Miiverse is quickly drawing near. Once November rolls in, the social networking service will be no more. A bunch of games will be impacted by its closure, but the community itself will also be shuttered.
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.
They should've kept it alive, but brought it to the switch as well.
Bless his heart. The miiverse was a pretty cool concept. It was fun powering on the Wiiu and seeing all the miis running and chanting player drawings.
MiiVerse is an amazing component in the Nintendo gaming experience. Terrible idea to take it away. The art that comes from its users is phenomenal.
Just goes to show the frailty and lack of permanence ALL digital games/services etc have. Once the publisher pulls the plug...that's it. The experience you knew and in some cases perhaps loved are gone forever. Sad really that the retro crowd will never get the full experience when they are looking to fire up these consoles/games in the future.
