Like the title says, with no more Miiverse are you disapointed, or does the fact that you should be able to more easily post to other forms of social media with that screenshot button sound much better anyway?

With as much as a mess Miiverse is, part of me will miss it, but I honestly look forward to having more freedom with a new twitter account i made just for games instead of having to deal with random stupid or vulgar comments from strangers or Nintendo's admins being a bit odd about some things, such as when I got in trouble for trying to give away a game.

I just used it for screenshots, mainly for the 3DS since I have another way to take screenshots from the home console. (even if the Switch didn't have the capture button thingy)

I think the idea is that when people use an existing form of social media (Facebook, Twitter) to talk about Nintendo games, it's free marketing. Miiverse was a little Nintendo bubble that was only used by the people that own Nintendo systems.

I very rarely use Miiverse, so I don't mind it discontinuing at all. I've commented a time or two and use it to occasionally message friends, but that's really about it.

With how restrictive Miiverse can be, I think it's a better move to use social media juggernauts such as Facebook and Twitter to post screenshots. Not only is it essentially free advertising, but you don't need to worry about someone flagging a post of yours regarding something that someone took out of context.

Eh, If it was a full-blown forum like the old Nsider then I would be all for it, but Miiverse was way too restricted. I'd rather have them implement existing social features into the Switch - make screenshots sharable of twitter/facebook/instagram/whatever and post clips to youtube, but I'd rarely use it anyway.

So, when is Miiverse shutting down?

Also, I've posted to Miiverse 497 times and haven't got flagged once. Do y'all not know how to behave online? Lol

Not anytime soon, can't say for sure until we see the next handheld system.

I enjoyed using it to talk with some online friends and posting about games as I played them so I'll miss it. Plus I don't think I'd really use Facebook or Twitter for posting pictures about games, but I would probably still be uploading some videos to YouTube once that is added.

It seems like they are going to be lazy and not make a replacement. I definitely will miss it, but not as much as Streetpass, which is one of their best (and least expensive!) innovations in the past 10 years.

I'm going to miss the chance to try the full console experience. The 3DS version sucks.

Much like the way they are handling voice chat, I think a miiverse app would have been an interesting approach.
But alas, I guess it wasn't to be. I'll miss knowing what the time in Tokyo and New York is

Miiverse was interesting for the first year or so (used it almost exclusively on Wii U), but then ... meh. I don't feel too strongly one way or another.

You keep thinking that Octane, Switch is a home console, not a dedicated handheld system.

Why is it so hard to understand what the Switch is? It's not more home console than portable, it's not more portable than home console. It's both. Some people are stuck on this idea that it has to be one or the other. That if it's one then the other one is coming out soon after. But what evidence do we have for that? It's a fantasy.

Anyways, on topic. I think MiiVerse was great and I will miss seeing it being used. Games like New SMB U, Mario Maker, Splatoon and Smash Bros all used it pretty well. Its a shame it's gone for that stuff. But the online interaction in general? I think Twitter and Facebook make more sense. Sure I can post a screenshot of a game on MiiVerse I want to share. But if I really want to share it? Surely I'd post it on Facebook or Twitter.....

I'm pretty sure Reggie himself said it's a home console first...and a handheld second. And Nintendo said the Switch isn't replacing the handheld line, meaning a 3DS successor will still happen...

How funny. This "home console" is as portable as a tablet or a 3DS
