Topic: MiiVerse for 3ds!

Nintendo didn't offer up a date for the release of Miiverse, but they did say it was coming in December. The extended maintenance occurring today makes it seem likely that they're preparing to release it sometime this evening or some other time soon, but most likely tonight yet if you're in US time zones.

It's most likely coming out when the maintenance is over (9pm EST)

Ok i asked this before and I haven't found an answer for it yet. Will Miiverse on 3DS allow us to take in game screenshots much like Wii U?

Yes. It shows that it can in the Nintendo Direct.

Here's a quote from the official website for Miiverse on 3DS:

"In addition to typed messages, you can attach screenshots of compatible games and gameplay sequences while you're playing, or use the Nintendo 3DS touchscreen and stylus to create a handwritten message or drawing while in the game."

The maintenance ends at 8pm PST/11pm EST.

"You can also write and save your posts in Offline Mode, then post them when you’re connected to the Internet."

Now that, I didn't know. That's pretty awesome.

I know AC:NL has a built-in screenshot capability; is that maybe what it means by "compatible games"?

@Gioku

I don't think so. Look at the link @Hale-Bopp shared. It shows posts with screenshots of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.

Basically, if you press the HOME button, it takes a temporary screenshot of the game currently being played, and you can post it to Miiverse. (To see how this might work, launch Game Notes while playing a game. It'll give you an idea how it works.) The "compatable games" likely means games that have a community, as you can't post in-game screenshots on Miiverse if the game your playing doesn't have a community.

I'm going to take a guess at all first party games have the ability, taking photos in Animal Crossing and Pokèmon is a little bit different. Whereas say in Luigi's Mansion 2, or other games, you simply just tap the home button, go to Miiverse. Done. Just like on Wii U. I'm going to assume third party games will not have a Miiverse community though. It would be much more difficult to add every single game all at once. Whereas Nintendo can just make 'the important communities (first party and exclusives)' and just add third party games as they go.

I bet people will race to see who can get first....

I REALLY hope this comes tonight... but I doubt it will.

Yep, we'll have a million "FIRST!!!" posts even though they're above #100. I hate that. But, what I hate even more are posts like "16th!".

Dont think we have an update today folks. Saying my system is up to date

I keep trying to update, says an error occurred.

I just tried and I got an error! Errors are good signs, right?

I thought the maintenance was supposed to end at 9:00 PM PST? Right now it's still 8:10 PM PST... maybe we should all wait about another hour?

Plus both eShops are still down, can't get onto them.

EDIT: Is it meant to be 8:00pm or 9:00pm PST?

Everytime I check to see the eShop it alternates between "Under Maintenance" and "An error has occurred". I'm waiting for it to either go to the main page, or say "A new update is now available! You must update to use Nintendo eShop."

They updated the maintenance schedule ending time to 8:15pm PST.

You win the internet.
