G'day all, my NNID is Rex.Monsoon. Not many I know have a Wii U so I'd love to have more friends and followers on my list to share things with and play against
I don't know why exactly although it could be linked to my internet having problems recently, but when I went to Miiverse right now it took forever to actually load and once it did it looked like this for some reason. (I was using my Japanese Wii U)
I was just looking at a random person's profile and testing some other things out. For some reason I was unable to look at some posts when I tried to tap on them.
I tried again later, but while it still took awhile, it was fixed and on my NA Wii U, it would load quickly and have no problems either.
So, Miiverse is mostly usable, now; thanks to the update. I was really reluctant to do anything with it, before the update, but not the separate areas make it alot easier to use. Too bad there's still no recording and other features, though because I could store alot of stuff on the HDD for apps that have user created memory...
I don't use it much myself but I think that Miiverse is fantastic.
I get that adults like to talk to each other (I'm in my 30's myself!) but there's no shortage of outlets for that in real life or on the internet. Miiverse is focused and appropriate for everyone.
When people come out with statements like "Nintendo doesn't understand online" I think what they actually mean is that they don't like what Nintendo has understood about online or what they see in the mirror it holds up. Miiverse is a heavily moderated online community and that's not a bad thing. It's something that's rare on the internet because of the cost of moderating but it makes it a safe place.
It's also a relief for those of us who are much older who don't want to deal with even the potential that an innocent topic might very quickly descend into filth/misogyny/abuse of minorities.
If I were Nintendo I'd promote Miiverse more widely as a benefit to parents. It's a major service that none of their competitors matches. Plus I think the integration in Nintendo's own games has generally been very impressive and gives a feeling of being part of a community working through the games. In many ways it's probably Nintendo's most under-rated achievement of the past 10 years.
