Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime has told IGN that Miiverse will be unlike anything we’ve seen before on home consoles. Fils-Aime explained that Nintendo has created what he describes as a rich social network that will be a very compelling part of the Wii U experience, just like Street Pass and the Street Pass Mii Plaza were on the Nintendo 3DS.
“Our vision for this service is unlike anything that’s ever been before it… People put it in, maybe, current terms of things that it’s most analogous to, and it’s not really what this is going to be. It’s going to be a very rich, robust part of the experience. One of the things that we’ve found is that gamers want to talk about other gamers about the fun they have when they’re playing games. And that’s different from what you do on other social networks. We believe Miiverse will be a very compelling part of the Wii U proposition, just like Street Pass and the Street Pass Mii Plaza have become a very compelling part of the Nintendo 3DS proposition.”
Again all about the games and the gamers. Nintendo putting games first once again. this is why I still play, cannot wait for MiiVerse.
and they never force anything on us gamers either, always giving us different options
motion controls.
wiimote numchuk
classic controller pro
wii wheel
wii zapper
wii balance board
gamecube controller
A lot of Options.
The only games I have that uses Motion control heavily
Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2
Metroid Prime 3
Goldeneye 007
Zelda Skyward Sword
Okami
Motion controllers, shitty tablet controllers, tell the “gamers” what they want to play, etc. etc.
So use the Pro controller, I always did unless the dev says you can’t.
Can you use the Pro controller for ZombiU? I don’t quite think so.
but the option is there for the developers to implement it. but why would they? that would take most of the fun away.
Nobody should be forced to use that monstrosity of controller under any circumstance. Stop fucking with the wheel.
Actually you can, you still need to have the WiiU Pad on hand for the scanning part.
I don’t know. I’ve made a habit of ignoring anything that comes out of Reggie’s mouth!
Not to sound like a troll, but the Mii plaza is quite boring and I havent opened it in a long time.
Mii plaza is only useful if you take the 3DS with you and meet a lot of people via StreetPass. If not and you’re like me then no it’s a waste of time. However MiiVerse is different it’s a home console that always connected, seems like it will work well.
” seems like it will work well.”
But we’ve hardly seen anything yet…
Exactly…… hence the term “seems”
I don’t run into people daily, but I do try to make the effort by bringing it around. I don’t leave it on all day either since I do need some battery to play games. I’ll get a few each week.
But if you ever go to Walt Disney World (FL, USA), you will hit 10+ streetpasses daily. Easiest way to get all the puzzles.
Behold, a sycophant.
Behold,a cock sucker.
Lol
First
fail
double fail.
Sweet
Sickr, Why do I have to login on wordpress something to comment, I liked the way use to comment before.
Stops more trolls this way, everyone has to login and so they can be found out more easily.
i think you meant to say spot pass and street pass! :)
Compare achievements maybe? Might buy a Wii U next year when I know more about it.
I despise social networking outside the office, I feel like sissies especially male sissies flood social networks. Will love the Miiverse though, especially for Monster hunter Ultimate( hunters need friends ). In monster hunter you need people that assig you in aquiring materials and know strategies for advancement. Monster hunter is such a great game, it’s good more peopls around the world shall finally experience it.

I love me some Monster Hunter!
It’s such a good game that the west would have embraced even more if it were released here in the 90s and also on the PS2 and Gamecube at the same time. FPS this generation almost ruined video games diversity, Nintendo came through with the Wii and DS and saved true gaming. Wii the Wii U monster hunter will be a novelty to new gamers enmasse who also shall get hooked :)
honestly it doesnt sound like something i would use too often but it is awesome to know Nintendo has packed so much content into the Wii U. the more stuff they make then the more appealing it will be to potential buyers.
If ever you get a chance get monster hunter Ultimate. Then you will realize how important the Miiverse will be for online support and faqs( frequently asked questions ). No more site surfing eating away playing time, simply post a question or call a buddy with the Wii U pad while you continue breaking parts of the fearsome rathalos :).
I’m glad that they’re really pushing for a great online expirience.
I’m excited!
well yeah i can imagine that a fully integrated social network is something that can’t be compared to facebook and the likes.. after all full system integration is the wet dream of whoever runs these social networks but hasn’t really been achieved yet on any system (except maybe the iphone 5? but that’s not really a gaming platform)
Can’t wait to hear more about it Nintendo!
Looking forward to experience the Miiverse after the November 18th launch.
just makes me more excited for Wii Universe
Reblogged this on Nintendo Wire.
It’s going to be very integrated and cool.
Miiverse : A community universe specificly designed to bash Aeolus xD
Specifically*
Look, we have a badass over here!
I love Nintendo, but there is *nothing* compelling about Street Pass and the Plaza*. Maye if you live in a major city or Japan, but the reality is for most non-Japanese is that these features are the exact opposite of compelling.
*I don’t think the Plaza is compelling anywhere since it basically doesn’t rise to the level of even barebones texting.
I love mii plaza on 3ds but it sucks for those that can’t find others that have a 3ds to collect new puzzles
Just wanted to see if you would respond right away ;D

I’m definitely interested in Miiverse. I can’t make full use out of streetpass because of where I live, but I’ve always wanted to use it.
If Miiverse delivers on its promises, it’ll be a much more fun online service than Live or PSN.
Yes, now tell us more soon, please!
Sounds cool excited for Miiverse :D!
