This Is The Most Touching Miiverse Tribute Of Them All

Don't you just hate it when someone gets a popular tweet (usually with content they didn't create) and then they leverage their newfound visibility to push their own agenda that has nothing to do with it?

I'm very disappointed that Miiverse is gone. Regularly used it and was posting on it right up until the end. What are Nintendo going to replace it with? And no I didn't see Miyamoto's post because it was probably too late and didn't know where to find it.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Switchverse?

@Rhaoulos I was thinking that but it would have to be a play on Switch. Like Wii was Mii, so maybe Switch is I don't know, nothing sounds great. Bewitch? Snitch? Glitch? Stitch? Itch? B....?

I'm pretty disappointed it's gone too. I primarily used it for Super Mario Maker. I create music levels - mostly for games like Chrono Trigger, sometimes for TV shows like Lost - and I used in-level comments to provide narration that accompanied the music. With Miiverse now gone, the levels look so barren to me... I was able to at least record all the ones up to this point for YouTube while the comments were there, but I'll definitely miss the service, no doubt.

I will really miss Miiverse's amazing artists and it's nice (sometimes hilarious) community.

Just imagine if we could have used Breath of the Wild on something like Miiverse...

@Exy "their own agenda" ?? Please tell me you don't mean what I think you mean. I don't see any "agenda".

On-topic: looking at his last message makes me so sad despite hardly posting I LOVED reading Miiverse. Using Twitter makes financially more sense for Nintendo but giving us Miiverse 2.0 would would make sense as a crowd pleaser.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE: I am very disappointed that Nintendo didn't try to alter Miiverse instead of shutting it down. And Super Mario Maker without comments is not the same. Bad move, Nintendo.

@Rocky2418: Cool. Can you post the youtube link in the Super Mario Maker thread?

@AyeHaley The people who reply to their own tweet containing something they don't own to advertise something unrelated are the worst kind of content sycophants. They can't earn their own visibility so they take from others to benefit themselves. Infringement of content by aggregation websites for profit is getting out of control—largely because Twitter is doing very little if anything to stop it—and it's no better when individuals do it.

Thanks for the fun while it lasted. I haven't posted much, but this was effectively the 3DS screenshot app for me. Good thing Nintendo at least offered to archive and mail them per request when all is said and done.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE TWITCHER

I was just starting to move on by linking my Switch account to my Twitter account, and then you go and stir it all up again...

😥

a number of nintendo developers posted their good-bye messages. it was around 20 or so.

A shame for those who used it. I could never really get into it though, and the posts on say, Mario 3D World, were annoying and stupid (more often than not). For instance, I saw a post in that game right after Star Wars came out, that said (spoiler, but you should know by now) "Hans Solo dies." Thank god I had just seen the movie, but man, what a rotten thing to do to people, random miiverse person.

I think it failed because Nintendo monitored it too much. If we could have exchanged friend codes, etc. it probably would have been more useful and had more longevity.

@Savino @MoonKnight7 : I have a complete different opinion here: By Nintendo's approach, Miiverse became the family-friendly social network the internet was missing.

I had not used Miiverse in a while due to the switch, but I loved it and think they should've waited longer. Disappointing and sad.

thank u ...

I managed to find two of my pics so far in the collage, I can't believe how many pics they squeezed into the big picture. It is a lovely way to remember miiverse.

@Chandlero
No problem. Just posted it there (assuming I found the right thread).

They can call the next service “SwitchBoard”. And our avatars can be Itches or Witches. Problem solved.

@Kupoling
Approved!

It was handy sometimes to share game moments with people, but it was the worst moderated place I have ever seen almost. The Smash Bros stage was basically rated R most of the time, yet when I mention adding me on the Switch or have a small give away to my followers a while back a moderator shut me down in minutes.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE The link to the Miyamoto post is in the article, just click on the embedded twitter post

@Dogorilla I can see it on Twitter but I meant that I couldn't see it on Miiverse.

@Whopper744

My God, you know what was R rated? The final hour in The Legend Of Zelda Community.

Never saw so much racism, expletives, and porn all at once in my life. Man, you thought the Mara article from a few days ago was bad...

@Exy did something like that happen to you recently?

@10-zx The Smash community too. I was expecting lots of goodbyes...I wasn't prepared for what I saw.

I just stopped using Miiverse this summer, because I didn't want to face reality with the fact that it was going to be shut down. It's so sad, I really wish Nintendo could have kept Miiverse, it's one of the best ideas they have had when it comes to being social with others on Nintendo devices. Now, I don't have anyone to ask if I'm stuck in a game. And then I'll end up using Google to solve it. Using Gooogle makes me depressed.
AND I DON'T USE TWITTER OR FACEBOOK FOR GAMING! DOES ANYONE? WHY DOES NINTENDO THINK I DO THAT?!

@AlternateButtons I think you're so wrong, I don't even know where to start... But I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion

@Giygas_95

Same stuff I mentioned?

@10-zx Yes indeed.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
I don't think they really have to replace it with anything.
Choice functionality similar to parts of what Miiverse offered for different games is likely what we're going to get.

So it will probably always be game specific. The play journal for instance would make a lot of sense for a game like Animal Crossing, but not so much for many others.

@MoonKnight7 And thank you for that, since I have not yet seen the movie...

@Sinton

Hey, sorry, but to be fair, I said spoiler didn't I?

@MoonKnight7 It’s not like it was hidden. Scrolling through the comments quick, all I could see was the quote, which of course made me stop up and read.

@Sinton

So let me get this straight — you stopped and saw the quotes, but did not see that spoiler was in bold??

Again, I'm sorry, but I can't help it if you skim through it quick.

I'm not crying, you are

@AlexSora89

You're the only one here who's crying.

@10-zx
I'm not!

Yay! They featured my own Miiverse tribute doodle on the mosaic collage! Can you guys find it? It looked like this:

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
For a name that incorporates "Switch", why not the straightforward approach of "SwitChat"? Yeah... doesn't really roll off the tongue I guess.
Perhaps a more generalized name that will go beyond the Switch when it runs its course? Maybe something along the lines of "Nintendo Grid" or NintenGrid??? I'm not good at naming things 'shrugs'.

@AlexSora89

Denial at its finest.

@10-zx
I'm not denying, you ar--

...

... crap.

It was only a matter of time

@AlternateButtons it doesn’t help if it has a billion users! Even 2 billion wouldn’t do it! No one uses it for talking about games! Now, I don’t have anywhere to find people to discuss games anymore. I guess the forums at NintendoLife might do it, but I can’t access NintendoLife from my Switch... That’s another thing: You can’t browse Facebook or Twitter on the Switch. So then it makes even less sense. If wanted to browse through my (imaginary) gaming friends opinions on a Nintendo game: I can’t use my Switch! It’s like being able to post to Miiverse, but you can’t access Miiverse. It’s just messed up.

@Exy This is why I feel like the internet in general is slowly destroying society. As they said on Futurama; "The Internet is about the free exchange and sale of other people's ideas." But hey, at least that SleazeBurger person got a lot of "likes", right? Because that's the important thing.

@Rocky2418 hey the levels and how u incorporated it with Miiverse sounds awesome could u hook me up with a link to the YouTube vids.

@MaSSiVeRiCaN
I shared the link to my music level playlist in the Super Mario Maker thread, at the request of someone else who asked for it here. Since I'm not sure if the site would prefer that I didn't share that link here, I'll just post the link to the comment in that other thread. You can click on the link to the playlist from there: https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/wii-u/mario_maker_rumor?start=5180#comment4210366

@10-zx Was it really that shocking? The morons had to migrate somewhere else when their "precious community" was no more.

@Enigminator

What was their precious community?

Best post I ever saw was a well drawn NSFW image of the Arcade Bunny and his Boss. The boss literally had a joystick, like from an Atari except it seemed to function the same as, well, the other kind.

@10-zx The New Super Luigi U Community.
