Last week, Nintendo of Japan hosted a Nintendo Direct, which focused on Miiverse and a variety of online features for Wii U. While Nintendo of America has yet to host its own streamed broadcast on the subject, it's released a new video that showcases Miiverse, Nintendo Network, and the Wii U Internet Browser, as a follow up to last week's summary of WaraWara Plaza and Wii U Chat.
This video, once again hosted by Nintendo of America's Bill Trinen, uses a lot of the same footage from the Japanese Nintendo Direct, but goes a bit more in-depth. You can check it out below:

I like Bill. I love the nod to Iwata starring at the Banana with him starring at a Mandarin/Orange or whatever it is.
I wish, they would do another Nintendo Direct. There are still so many questions, regarding the eShop, the future of Virtual Console, the separation of Wii- and eShop (permanent or not?).
I'm still not sure, whether I should transfer my Wii data to the Wii U or not. For now, I see no reason, why I should do this. For what I know, my Wii purchases won't included in my Nintendo Network ID and I only can use Wii controllers. So I have to buy Classic Controllers, because I can't use my GC-controllers nor the Wii U Pro controller? Seriously? WTF?!?
We don't really need more info just let curiosity and surprise lead the way when you unbox, setup and play your new whiz-bang console
I will be looking forward to hearing everything from my US brethren on the 18th, then when I get my console, I'll know just about everything I need!
Whats wrong with the Wii Classic Controller? I've had an original and Pro for years and served me very well. Its horrible playing some VC games using a Gamecube controller. The Gamecube controller is only good for N64 games.
@Bass_X0: There's is nothing wrong with the Classic Controller (Pro), I have myself one of them. It's just, with Wii U, I'd like to upgrade on to the Wii U Pro Controller and it seems ridiculous to me, that I have to buy (nevertheless) more Classic Controllers, although the Pro Controller could do the job quite well.
HAHA!! Koji kondo's mii is awesome!!!
I absolutely LOVE that the asian dude who plays nsmbu isn't smiling the whole time he's playing! He just looks like a normal gamer. Fun doesn't always make you smile.
What is it with Nintendo and holding fruit?
Great video overall.....wish I could say I'm getting it for sure in a couple of days because my wallet is preventing me from doing so
Why does the Japanese keyboard have english letters? Do all Japanese people type like that? Seems odd.
I wonder if the Nintendo servers are ready for Christmas morning with all the ID creation and DL updates N is requiring.
Those HD Mii's in Nintendo Land don't look half bad. They almost look like Lego people. Guess they'll do.
BTW NL, I believe that's NINGLISH you were using.
@rjejr i was thinking the same exact thing!!!!
@rjejr I think it's more practical that way! Japanese language has lots of "characters". It'd be necessary a plus-sized keyboard!
WAUW !
Having to redownload Wii games that only are on my SD card doesn't sound too great.
It looks great!
I liked the video. They didn't show people exaggerating about how cool the Wii U is.It just what an average gamer would do
The japanese gamer left his apartment door open
