Also teases a new 3DS stage
Last summer Masahiro Sakurai stated that there'd be no cinematic story in the new Super Smash Bros. titles coming to the Wii U and 3DS. The reasoning was a little peculiar, as Sakurai-san said the following. Unfortunately, the movie scenes we worked hard to create were uploaded onto the internet. You can only truly wow...

News Miiverse on 3DS Expands Its Collection of Communities With More Favourites
Fire Emblem: Awakening! Kid Icarus: Uprising! FIFA 14?
When Miiverse recently launched on the 3DS one shortcoming was its rather limited selection of communities. While users can post about anything they want on Activity Feeds, the option to include screenshots was limited to just 23 games, a list that unsurprisingly missed even some of Nintendo's...

Rumour Could This Contra III Image Mean That SNES Games Are Coming To The 3DS eShop?

News Nintendo Applies Minor Update to the Wii U Version of Miiverse
Don't get too excited
Miiverse has evolved a fair bit since its launch with the Wii U in November 2012. It may not feel that way, but the network was certainly more restricted and less intuitive than its current day version, not to mention the fact that it's now available on any web browser.
