Miiverse Updated Today (Video)

Nintendo has once again updated Miiverse and implemented some subtle changes. Miiverse users can now get special updates from Nintendo regarding changes to the service, these notifications are displayed in a special dedicated Miiverse community. The notification system has also been changed, and you will now get messages once someone has decided to follow you. Nintendo has also decided that Miiverse users can now only post once every five minutes. This change was made to prevent multiple posts from the same person appearing on-screen. Nintendo has also changed its code of conduct and has decided that off-topic posts are no longer allowed on the service. You can see all the changes that Nintendo has implemented in the video above.

Thanks, NintenDaan

    1. I don’t mind the 5 minutes rule, as it doesn’t apply to comments, only on posts (though it would be good if it didn’t also apply to different communities).

      However, I do mind the notification change a lot. It kills so many conversations when OP isn’t there. I can see that it’s annoying when you comment on a popular post, and then you keep getting spammed with notifications about it, but there’s a better way than this. That is, a simple option to “unsubscribe” from a post: just untick a box (should be ticked by default) and you don’t get the notifications anymore.

      1. Notifications of someone else commenting on a post someone made back in December still pop up everyday, it’s annoying.

  1. SherlockWillFightBilbo

    Sometimes it got annoying when more and more people kept commenting on a dead Netflix post, but those were my ONLY notifications, so I don’t think it was that bad.

    The “post only every 5 minutes” rule might get on my nerves every once in a while…

      1. SherlockWillFightBilbo

        Yeah exactly. I don’t pause a game every five minutes to comment about it. If I use Miiverse, I’m gonna post whatever I need to post about at once -.-

    1. I agree. That is indeed annoying. It would however rock if we got EarthBound, but we should be happy with what we get. Heck, it is an almost free game ffs..

    1. Discipline. In the armed forces and amongst athletes there exists the greatest discipline. This because they are respectful and accept their actions. Nintendo is just following what needs to happen in a normal upright society. Mii verse cannot turn into a myspace or the now ridiculous facebook.

    2. well Nintendo has to do this, most parents are not being parents and these fuckers want companies and government to be THE parents, i can see why because of what happen to xbox live it seems like kids are out of control.

    3. Rumours says the other two next-gen system will have far more crippling restrictions that a limit of making one thread per 5 min, just saying.

  2. Lord of the Nintendo Haters

    This video has further proven Miiverse is nothing but a police state where Nintendo spams their propaganda.

              1. You really aren’t too bright. What I meant was, you are criticizing somebody else’s grammar when yours is absolutely atrocious.

  3. i saw this coming the min the dumbass said “lets go to all miiverse communties and ask for [insert this]” very off topic and in the same time now i can report these spammers without counter report.
    I like this update but in the same time it could hurt some community like TVii and youtube.

  4. Nintendo must have heard out cries in Europe for a 60htz version of Balloon Trip!!

    Only post once every 5 minutes? That’s pathetic!

    I hope Miiverse doesn’t turn into a Nazi boot camp where we are only allowed to talk about certain topics!! We should be allowed to say whatever the hell we want to say!!

    Bad move by Nintendo!

    1. Being relevant in a community is a must though…
      You wouldn’t want people discussing Black Ops II in the Nintendo Land community, would you?

      1. But where do people post things like… I cant wait for a new kirby game… its off topic and no kirby community… is there?

  5. Not everything is bad, so what if Nintendo make Miiverse a little civil and mature? Are we not on Miiverse to share our gaming experiences and ask for how to get a Silver Rathalos plate? Let’s demand for games and not cry over Miiverse.

    1. Whats civil and mature about not posting more than once in a 5 min time frame and not having off topic posts?.. I personally think its getting ridiculous

      1. Don’t worry about Gamer. He’ll put a positive twist on Nintendo, even if Nintendo insulted its customers, he’d still put a positive twist on it.

            1. You know its sad when neutron brings his “BROTHERS” to back him up, (cough pussy) also all those comments they made sound exactly the same like they are…..one….GET THE MESSAGE!?!?
              neutron is using multiple accounts to bash people 3 times. I mean really why all three are in one site the dude has problems, next thing you know his parents want a talk to you.

    1. The “off-topic” communities are Tvii, Netflix and Youtube. Otherwise, how will this matter? You go to the other communities to talk about them so just talk about everything else in those. Honestly this off-topic rule doesn’t make sense as I’ve never seen off-topic posts other than a rare troll.

  6. Does anyone have problems in wara wara plaza? I’m online and it displays like I’m not online and has the normal icons and not the ones in miiverse. I have another Nintendo account and it loads everything fine on the alternate account

    1. Mine was the same, it went out for 5-6 days. THen after Trine2 got updated, it went back to normal. Nintendo didnt give much help on the issue.

  7. 5 minute rule is irritating. No off topic posts wtf Nintendo even I a person who normally never disagrees with you says this is stupid. So I can’t have my lets talk about Smash Broad and Mario Party 10 and Mario Mart Wii U posts? Give us a GENERAL or OTHER community.

  8. Nindo should give us a community where we can talk about anything. It’s hard to find where to post when what you want to post have nothing to do with any of the comunity

      1. I’m talking about the character limit, not posting time limit. Having just checked, we’re still limited at 100 characters. By the way if you’re confused, characters means letters, spaces and punctuation.

      2. I’m still uncertain on the response time as well, but responding as is is frustrating with the 100 characters regardless of the 5 minute limit.

        1. The character limited should be doubled at least and when creating handwritten posts (drawings) you should be able to use the full screen.

    1. Scott, in fact it will make commenting back EVEN HARDER! Cuz sometimes I can’t fit wat i was going to say in one post(only 100 characters) so i post what i can and quickly write the rest on another post. With the 5 min limit I will have to try and fit EVERYTHING in one super small post or be forced to wait a whole 5 mins to comment again. Kinda, NO, REALLY LAME!!

  9. The only thing that might be slightly annoying is the 5 minute rule. But that’s really only if it applies to comments as well.

    Everything else is fine. We don’t need Miiverse becoming a troll fest like… well, this place.

    1. You really think Trolls will buy a Wii U JUST to troll on Mii-Verse?? Mii-Verse was fine the way it was. Nintendo is addressing problems that did’nt even exist.

      1. um there was some troll in their but they did not know you can get ban so now their gone, also their was one bitch in miiverse that cause hate around it i think her name was ps3max something like that, she then remove here profile because most of us know she is a sony drone. she talk shit in COD saying the wii u ver suck because “she play it”. um her profile said she did not play cod so its the aeolus to miiverse. I end up ban her due to rude behavior.

  10. I have to say, I’m disappointed with these changes. Post every 5 minutes? No off topics allowed? They should have created a community where you can talk about off topic things. Miiverse is something I truly enjoy, but with these changes, I just don’t know. With no games out yet, Miiverse helped. I think this is the last time I buy a console at launch. So no Xbox /PS4 until after being out for a year!

    1. Reporting and blocking stops that.

      One post per five minutes stops the amount of posts I usually make. I feel handicapped because of it.

  12. “Miiverse Downgraded Today” Fixed.

    Anyway, due to Nintendo’s restrictions and other bad things, this is why I wasn’t looking forward to Miiverse when I was getting the Wii U. I was kind of fine with it (Sort of) these days though when I got it but seeing this really pisses me off.

  13. Feels like “Safety Warning Information window every time you power on your system” ALL OVER AGAIN! When will Nintendo learn?!?

  15. The 5 min rule is not only bad people. I can see more good from it than bad. That it prevents pesky spammers is a really big and needed + especially when more Wii Us will be in living rooms.

    The only “drawback” is that you can not do multiple threads at the same time, but as this do not regulate comments so do I see no problem using comments to continuing your posts which I thought every sane being actually did. 5 minutes are not that long of a time eighter if you think about it. It is a cooldown I am happy with if it leads to less spamming.

    1. I am fine with 5 min between post, but it should be 5 min until you can post on the same community again. It shouldnt be 5 min for all the community at once.

  16. Ganonseviltwinbrother

    I was wondering where my drawing of Goku on the tekken community went.
    It just disappeared -.-
    I hate the off topic rule.
    I want to talk about future games on miiverse

  17. They really don’t need to make anymore restrictions and rules. Mii-Verse is completely fine te way it is. I haven’t noticed any problems.

  18. I like the new changes a lot, less posts from bitches begging for “yeahs”. Don’t see some idiot post back to back drawings of a squiggly line, less drawings…period.

      1. I hope they remove “yeahs” enough with this bullshit already. “Hey look at my picture of a kitty(or whatever), yeah this picture!” Posted inside the mass effect 3 community….Fuck off! lol

  19. I’m sad to say, but Miiverse just doesn’t seem fun at this time. Just tried to post a few minutes after I posted, and I got this stupid message telling me when I could post again. Also, because of these restrictions, traffic seems extremely light on Miiverse. Nintendo, this is not how you get nor keep the hardcore who has invested in your console already. Again, so disappointed!!

  20. @Tri pod.. The reason why people are doing those drawings and asking for yeahs, is because it’s fun, but more importantly, no games at the moment. Miiverse for me during this dry spell, has been a saving grace. If more games were available, I bet people wouldn’t have done those things so often. Also, why give us the option to report, if they are going to police for us?

    1. No, it’s because they are twats…begging for yeahs is ridiculous and cheapen’s Miiverse. Drawings are ok if the person can actually draw well!

    1. Sorry, but not all people can stay busy for 5 minutes with comments. We want to post multiple threads in as much time as we want. What makes me even more frustrated with this Donkey-Kong crap is that there hasn’t even been problems with spamming. *from what I’ve seen* everyone on Miiverse knows how to act; there hasn’t been any spam trolls… so why Nintendo created that 5 minute rule is beyond me, even if it DOESN’T APPLY TO COMMENTS.

  21. This is all good news and preparation for when they update miiverse soon. Nintendo said they will allow users to create community’s soon so what’s the big deal.

  22. @revolution5268… What I meant by my comment was, because of the Wii, Nintendo has lost some credibility with the “hardcore”. Nintendo is on record a number of times saying how they want to get the hardcore back. We’ll, implementing these changes were unnecessary and may be seen as Nintendo hand holding too much. Unfortunately at this time, the Wii U is suffering and image problem due to it’s small release of games. Then, in my opinion, they weaken one of their most popular features. I still love my Wii U, but I’m upset at the moment!

  23. Can’t make a whole new post for 5 minutes? No skin off my back. Most of my texts are comments instead of whole new posts anyways.
    Now, what they REALLY need to do at this point, is increase the character limit for messages in Miiverse.

  24. The 5-minute would be a good idea…if we didn´t have so few characters to write. A person once made a question about how to progress in ZombiU and I had to write 3 posts to give him the complete answer. They should at least increase the number of characters on each post.

  26. I guess this is a good thing. It sure is nice to have less flooding on Miiverse, but I think there should be an Off-Topic community for general discussions unrelated to gaming.
