A Nintendo of America customer service representative has confirmed via email that the Nintendo 3DS version of Miiverse won’t support message exchange between friends, or even friend requests. A NeoGAF member was curious as to why the Miiverse 3DS screens released lacked the messages icon present in the Wii U version. He then decided to contact customer service to find out exactly why that was. He was told that the 3DS version of Miiverse will not support message exchanges between friends or the friend request feature. It’s basically just the community features.
Thanks, Nicki

Well that’s fucking useless. Once again, Nintendo fucks up on a simple online service.
And this goes back to the whole Swapnote incident. It isn’t Nintendo’s job to protect the children, it’s the parents job. So yeah, MiiVerse is useless, and that fucking sucks.
Nintendo is protecting themselves from retards that drink hot coffee then they want to get money cuz they burned theirs faces.
Agreed with everyone above…Nintendo always has to fuck up everything with their stupid baby-sitting limits!
This.
Remember. It’s America and it’s fuckwit ability to sue others for anything. So Nintendo are protecting themselves.
And of course it wouldn’t have private messages in the wake of the Swapnote scandal. What kind of retard would think they would add that in?! Jeez
Maybe because unlike swapnote Miiverse is actually moderated?
Yah… all the more to put friend interactions on Miiverse
Exactly.
if nin could find a way to block youtube from nin fanboys they would…… by just giving youtube 9000000$ to them even so they could just use it make games but no!!!!!!!!
i checked my DS to see if pictochat was removed buts its not!!!!! thank GOD……. if NIN could find a way to block that they would but they could be planning on it its time is ticking
yeah i just did momma jokes how the fuck is that offensive?
Agreed they removed all messaging online from 3DS so now vita is actually much better console. Mii verse is useless without nor do I care for the update . No thank you Nintendo
Who said messaging is required for a great console?
The only reason why they’ve removed it in the first place is because of abuse by pedophiles.
And Parental Controls didn’t work. When it was enabled, the kids simply disabled it to feed the pedophiles.
If you’d think it’s simple, then you’re mistaken, although I’d admitted that they could’ve modified the software to support moderation features INSTEAD of abandoning it.

yah!! i’m with you all the way bro!!
Nintendo FUCKED UP hard in a simple online service,
keep releasing useless feature!
FUCK YOU BIG TIME NINTENDO!!!
ahhhh……. it’s nintendo being fucking stupid again!!!! they blame parents for this shit even its their fault for being fucking strict for stupid shit this is why i didn’t buy 3DS kidnintendo!!! NIN) ohh we should make youtube on 3ds ohh!!!!!!!!!!! there’s messageing lets block that off! so user’s wouldn’t be available to send friend codes!!! and make it were they can’t sign in either!
This is straight up harrassment! they should want people to make friends on miiverse. I mean why have the friends tab above all the communities.
That’s how I feel
Of course, get our hopes high with Miiverse, then this…
That’s because we have swapnote for that… oh wait, no we don’t
welp, looks like nikki is permanently jobless
Why? Why give us Miiverse on 3DS when you’ll only get some of it’s features?
Maybe if we all complain, they’ll change it. I’ll start!:
nintendo pls change this it is suck and stupid.
Nintendo fanboys won’t complain they always accept what Nintendo gives them so we’re stuck with a kiddier version of miverse
Blame the perverts that ruined Swapnote for us all
I blame them but more of Nintendo for over punishing everyone just because some desperate bums wanted to harass little kids -_-
Yo dead as doe I can’t comprehend your logic lol!.. I see nintendo “fanboys”bitching about the news … But you know since it’s you and you say fanboys wont bitch then they won’t .. Ok … No.. No no you are right.. No don’t try to change my mind .. I was wrong you were right .. :)
Lol wtf are you saying ?? Stop dick riding and following me man you make no sense and don’t even know what your saying. Lmao
for now, i’m sure
Nice to know! I’m guessing we’ll have to manually enter someone’s Nintendo Network ID into our friends lists if we want to be friends with them.
This won’t change how I’ll be using Miiverse though!
Another thing I’m wondering about is if we’ll be able to post the pictures we have taken while playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf onto the Animal Crossing Community on Miiverse. (You know how if you pause a game on the Wii U, and go into the proper community you can post a picture of your screen… that sort of thing.)
Honestly, not too surprised. I usually only use the community features anyway. And there is always a chance for updates.
so we still need the friend codes to add people? or once we get miiverse thats it?
This is obviously due to the swapnote fallout.
That sucks a bit but I hope I can send post between the 3ds and wii u then it is still great.
How would that work? All the 3DS communities are of 3DS games, All the Wii U comminutes are Wii U Games.
Wow I hate how Nintendo thinks its fan base is full of little kids. Now we get a semi pointless mii verse
Wow…i never thought I’d say this but i agree! Dumb Nintendo always feels the need to baby-sit us! We are not kids Nintendo! And if there are kids there’s something called Parental Controls! -_- Sometimes i wish I can smack Nintendo on their ignorant face.
or how about you smack the ignorant parents that dont control their kids or bother to use parental controls to do so because they believe nintendo should
So it’s like the browser version. Well, the 3DS has friend list, so that isn’t a big deal. And I’m not using the private message much anywas. + that would give people without a Wii U anlther small reason to buy one.
Eh… well i guess you can still post with your browser… Nintendo needs to understand that it wasn’t their fault with what happened with Swapnote… I am so AFRAID that nintendo from now on will gimp online features on their handhelds now
UUggghh, Nintendo, I know you want to keep things safe but that is not the case, Im almost sure someone has seen someone naked over Wii U chat by now
So still no way of communicating with Friends on the 3DS…What a fucking joke….
In other words…..it’s a useless feature that the 3DS doesn’t need.
you know what I think that you guys are all wining, the messages is not needed, the miiverse if for people who like to post things for games. I have an idea get a phone and use that/ I think the more you complaine the more stuff Nintendo is going to take off but you guys think that Nintendo is just kids, they are not there trying to protect kids, but you guys just have your hopes to high, we are lucky the miiverse is going to the 3ds at all,
^Yeah!
Motherfucker shut up. How the fuck can you defend this?
This makes absolutely no fucking sense! Swapnote was unregulated,laced an account system and so forth whereas Miiverse 3DS uses NNID’s so Nintendo can monitor what is being sent via Miiverse itself and ban those who don’t follow the rules, just like on Wii U Miiverse.
its because they don’t want the message service, then pervs can get to kids easyer on the 3ds using miiverse, I get you are saying that, moms don’t even know how to play the 3ds, but its because Nintendo knows that and they care, w
I don’t see how you can better protect Children from perverts when Children will STILL have to go to online forums to exchange friend codes/NNID’s…areas which are outside Nintendo’s control, whereas on Miiverse, they could have kept an eye on it if friend requests and messages were in place.
Also, it ISN’T Nintendo’s job to look after kids beyond providing parental controls. Many people are saying kids can work around these, well okay fine, so show some backbone and discipline them for breaking the rules you’ve set down as an adult.

Great…
Now I cannot command my slav…troops…
You are not very smart aren’t ya?
I’ve got my eyes on you, tin can. I know you’re real plan is to create a robot dominated utopia in which humans are doing your filthy deeds. Never trust these AI robots, they always turn on you.
WTF?!? So Miiverse on the 3DS is just useless. I’m not surprised people call Nintendo kiddy now, since Nintendo themselves thinks there whole fanbase is just kids.
That’s what im saying they don’t care for they’re hardcore fans anymore. Shame
Then is useless, it can be worst? i think it can…..just wait for the next sews….WILL BE WORST….
LATE NEWS THATS WHY I ALWAYS CHECK NINTENDO EVERYTHING THEY GOT MY NEWS ON TIME.
BTW STOP COMPLAININ THIS IS JUST THE BEGINING REMEMBER MIVERSE ON WII U AT FIRST.?
Whether it is the beginning or not is besides the point. You should always call out dumb or flawed decisions and voice your disapproval, as quickly and as frequently as possible.
Nintendo Exposed.#RiPWiiScamU
HAHAHAHAH have fun being treated like the abandoned step child because nintendo doesnt give a shit about hardcore fans. im going to PLAY the real next gen console ps4 aka the best system this gen. so have fun with your shitty online, account systems, weak hardware gimmicks and your non existent 3rd party and milked franchises!! OH MAN NINTENDO REALLY IS LOSING IT!!!!!
ahhhhh ps4…. wait WHAT IS THIS!!! the led light is turning red!!!! WOAH!!!!!!
http://youtu.be/whLbGbpt-E4?t=18s
oh fuck my house is shaking!!!!!! i
http://youtu.be/lrHZJxrPqFA?t=2s
*dives* THATS THE FUCKING LAST STRAW WITH THESE FUCKING CONSOLES DESTROYING MY LIFE!!!! im out!!!!!! im sick of my houses catching on fire and shit. ever heard of a good console launch with no life threatening problems!!!!!
Lmao gave me a good laugh but yea these babies except everything Nintendo gives them and ps4 all day I was at the launch yesterday shit was live. But so far EVERYTHING ABOUT PS4 IS AMAZING I’ve never said that about a console since game cube but damn Sony really nailed the ps4, its worth every penny.
You need medical attention.
So… Is this a good bye? Old partner?
What ever happened to the good ol’ parent control settings?
They don’t give a fk
…and what was the point of MiiVerse again? Seriously, if someone tells you they have a headache, do you just cut off their head? Stupid move, Nintendo… my friends and I were really looking forward to this announcement, but not anymore :(
nintendjerks is a miijerk system which you get sooo fucked off when u want to text abdallah nation ps we have small cocks
jesus ….Why not secretly put on the restriction of exchanging messages and reguests for people who are under age?? adding friends to coop with or vs is the whole fucking point of miiverse! otherwise its just a goddamn facebook without a friend or message feature
Ok… is the PC version of Miiverse on the 3DS/2DS… kind of shity if you only have a 3DS/2DS because you will not be able to make friends on it.
Please! Support The Cause! Enter to Twitter and post “@NintendoAmerica We need Miiverse Message System and Friend Requests for #3DS #STOPNINTENDOCENSORSHIP!” This is so dissapointing please support this cause!
………………….. wtf?
love nintendo, but that’s just stupid :/
I’m getting a wii u and ps4 by next year don’t really care much for the Xbox one .. I think all consoles are going to do well .. So I can careless about the specs but as long as I get my games that I want I’m all good….. Replies.. Wiiu sucks …ok .. Ps4 sucks because its been breaking …. Ok .. Why u no get Xbox one… I’m not feeling it this year … You a baby becu you like wii u.. Ok
I feel the same way. I’m waiting till March of next year to pick up the Infamous Second Sun PS4 bundle. Still getting all 3rd party for my Wii U and getting all the games that don’t come to Wii U on PS4.
For once I will have to say… this is dumb of Nintendo. This is something that could of been taken care of in Parental Controls. Nintendo needs to step up its online a little. Love the company but some times they can make some pretty dumb choices. (Going back to playing Legend Of Zelda Wind Waker HD)
For once? Nintendo has been doing alot of dumb shits lately…
Stupid kids that want to have sex with adult too early -.-
Because fuck you Swapnote incident.
I emailed nintendo if we all complain to nintendo hopefully they will get the message here’s what I said “Hey nintendo on behalf of nintendo fans please stop treating us like children in regards to swapnote and miiverse give us messaging or otherwise it’s useless let the parents do their jobs its not your job to punish the innocent!” Everyone please complain to nintendo to stop from being treated like a 2 year old!
I complained about Swapnote already, but will wait until Miiverse on the 3DS is out to write a letter to them. It could be misinformation, so personally I don’t want to jump to conclusions.
Darn you Nikki and your posted tip, you are just trying to get back at Miiverse and Tom now that Swapnote is dead.
Let’s attack Nintendo on Twitter! #StopNintendoCensorship
complain to nintendo at least once a day to really get the message through
This makes absolutely no fucking sense. Miiverse, unlike Swapnote, is actually moderated. There’s NO reason for the private message or friend request features to be gone. #facepalm #smh
exactly.
Exactly bro so WTF are they doing making Miiverse “Miiverse-less”? I might as well use the web version then.
Fuck you Nintendo. B/ And for Iwata, he..must..go.
Iknr I love nintendo and all but this is ridiculous!
I hope they someday remove this. :C
… Nintendo… Nintendo…you royally fucked it up again! >X(
You got everyone hoping and excited for Miiverse to come to 3DS and you revealed it just yesterday and now this…all for nothing.
WTF is the point having Miiverse on 3DS then if its not gonna feature the most basic and typically wanted concept of Miiverse: COMMUNICATION!
I was hoping this Miiverse update will finally put that bullshit Friend Code system to rest at last but no. You decided to not include Friend requests and messaging or commenting in a social medium that was MADE TO DO THOSE FUNCTIONS! You basically offered Miiverse without being Miiverse.
Way to fucking go idiots and this is coming from a big fan since the 90s. Got me excited just for another stupid ass buzzkill because you’re playing “parent” overacting with child safety nonsense because some idiots posting penises on the Internet. It has a report FAQ right? So put it in.
My god…I’m about to give up on Nintendo products permanently because this parenting stunts are getting ridiculous. X(
This pisses me off to no end wth nintendo what is the freaking point of miiverse now your basically just giving us the crappy pc version now im NOT exited for this update exept for youtube and if they keep this up flipnote 3d is gonna suck balls cause this is childish
Couldn’t you just pot your friend code on a community and people could just add you that way?
*put
Don’t own a wii u (would like one though) so don’t know exactly how miiverse works
this is ridiculous im not a freaking child this is where nintendo gets the nickname “casual company” Don’t get me wrong I love nintendo but they need to get theyre online competeviness together!
smh
What the fuck Nintendo? You serious? Is this cause of Swapnote? You want nobody to communicate with each other on the 3DS cause of the whole kid who got abused story? Is that it? My god Nintendo wake up.
i said this was going to be the case.
Nintendo is failing, it’s going downhill fast!
I have never been this mad at nintendo now im starting to think they are targeting a kid audience if they were not they would not be doing this period!
wow I this is just simply remedial
wow they totally dropped that durka durk
Fuck it, Sony here I come.
well we can all stop this just by complaining to nintendo through phone twitter and email.
why nintendo why
No friend requests and no messaging is a dissapointment. But, expected… At least for the time being. Maybe later they’ll update Miiverse 3DS with those options. But I think the community features are still fun and enticing enough to use Miiverse.
To add to my comment, I’d like to say that Nintendo is overreacting, and treating ALL Nintendo fans like kids. We don’t all need babysitting. That’s the parents’ job. C’mon Nintendo, stop this nonsense. You can’t keep limiting our enjoyment of your services just because a few idiots decided to abuse an app. Nintendo need to be Falcon Punched.
Seriously..Everyone here needs to message Nintendo and tell them to stop their shit
yeah they think their condom made 1,000,000 nintendo users to be fuckin babysitted ›:(
…And that is why Colors! 3D is the best application for the 3DS for 2 reasons…
1) It is not made by Nintendo
2) One of the best ways of communication as of now.
If Nintendo cuts off servers that allows Colors! 3D to connect to the internet, then I will tell my 3DS friends to sue Nintendo for their childish act. Heck, people in Colors! 3D STILL exchange FCs by posting artwork that has FCs or Nintendo ID.
What is the point of MiiVerse anyway…nothing but giving “yeahs” (similar to “likes”) to a post. And it is being monitored very well.
Colors! 3D FTW
According to IGN, it was one of the best 3DS games. ‘Wonder if Swapnote is now on their top worst after the censoring.
What’d U expect? That’s what happens when U try to cater to EVERYONE. Then again, Ninty’s always been seen as a childs’ play thing,till Sony came along&showed ’em what a real man can do.LOL, that day Nintendo shat their diapers while Sega took a time out.
I have always defend Nintendo but… come on you are really fucking everything, in what fucking year are you? How come there’s no way to communicate with people through the damn 3ds? That’s the most basic feature in a console. I’m so fucking angry! Waited for so long and now they are fucking us again.
