Nintendo has once again updated its social network, Miiverse, with a few new features. One of the new features includes the ability to view all the posts you have given a ‘Yeah’ to. This makes it easier for you to find your favourite posts. Users also have full control over posts which means that you can allow only those who own the software you’re posting about to respond. This can be changed in the user menu. Staff and developers now have a green notice above their profile, which tells you exactly who they work for. Nintendo has also changed the Miiverse setting for users up to 12 years of age. Originally they were only allowed to view posts by friends, but now new users will now have the ”Everyone” option enabled by default. You can view all the new changes in the video posted above.

“Nintendo developers want to make sure that the very best product is available to consumers.”

Nintendo global president Satoru Iwata says he feels ‘very sorry’ for consumers who experience a lengthy network update right after setting up their Wii U consoles. Some Wii U users claim to have waited for five hours to complete the new console’s necessary day one update.

“Personally I think that users should be able to use all the functions of a console video game machine as soon as they open the box. So I feel very sorry for the fact that purchasers of Wii U have to experience a network update which takes such a long time, and that there are the services which were not available at the hardware’s launch.”
