Miiverse
Gets a Major Update that Makes Discussing Games Easier Than Ever
- July 29th, 2015
Notice something
different about Miiverse today? That’s because the free
family-friendly service that lets players communicate with other
Nintendo players around the world just got a redesign. The makeover is
not only visual – the update comes with new features that make sharing
tips, drawings and comments about Wii U or Nintendo 3DS
games more enjoyable than ever.
The new features included in the redesign include the following:
- Screen Shot Album – Saving and organizing
screen shots that people take in games are made easier with the new
Screen Shot Album. The private album can only be viewed by the player
and can hold up to 100 screen shots from a variety of games. The images
can even be neatly sorted by game name for easy searching.
- Play Journal – With the Play Journal,
players can record their unique game experiences by writing journal
entries about games as they play them. Creating a journal entry is as
easy as opening Miiverse while playing a compatible game, and each
entry will include a screen shot that shows exactly what was happening
in the game when the player pressed the HOME button. The new Play
Journal feature replaces the ability for users to post directly to
their own activity feeds.
- New Look – In the main community for each
Wii U and Nintendo 3DS game, posts will be categorized in three
easy-to-browse sections:
- Play Journal Entries – All Play
Journal entries from players about a specific game will be located
here. By viewing the displayed screen shots, players can quickly find
other players who are in the same section of the game, making it easy
to find relevant tips, comments and experiences.
- Drawings – Miiverse is full of
incredible drawings from fans. This community section will display
artwork other players have created about the game, in order of
popularity.
- Discussions – If players want to ask
questions or start conversations about a game, this is the perfect
place to do it. The inclusion of tags in these discussions makes it
easier for players to find what they are looking for.
Miiverse can be accessed on the Wii U or Nintendo 3DS systems, as well
as via Web browsers. For more information about Miiverse, visit https://miiverse.nintendo.net/
