Miiverse to Arrive on 3DS "Within This Year"

I wonder how comprehensive the 3DS version will be in comparison.

I like the idea! I think its a good way to see how other players think about a game. Hopefully it arives soon this year!!

As a non wii-u owner I don't really understand what mii verse actually is. I have a 3ds though so im mildly interested.

Can't wait, it should be a priority for Nintendo. I see see it being a great way to get 3DS owners to generate intest in WiiU titles and vice versa.

I can also see it being great for dual platform interactions...

Great news Considering that some devs read what fans post on MiiVerse and are crafting patches with that feedback, its very important to have it on the 3DS as well.

The 3DS is extremely archaic with online features. Just simple things like chatting and adding friends are handled better by anyone else other than Nintendo. This would be a sign that Nintendo are trying to make the 3DS more social. For a WiFi-enabled gaming device, there's really no excuse.

For those who haven't yet experience MiiVerse...it's kind of hard to explain without actually trying it out yourself, but in some ways, think of it as a social network for gamers

It would be really cool if they managed to put it out before AC New Leaf comes out, but alas it doesn't look like it

@DestinyMan all versions; surely that's the point?

I honestly can't wait for the Miiverse just so we can post comments on the game communities and maybe get an Earthbound VC-esque response (I'd really like Majora's Mask for the 3DS, actually) from Nintendo. Same thing with Japanese titles that don't make it to the west. I can certainly see myself using it quite a bit.

Seems kind of strange that this didn't come to 3DS before WWW. I've heard even the Vita can access it now, but not the 3DS — how embarrassing.

@iphys The Vita has a fairly functional browser, so it's just accessing the website. Well, ok, it's actually a crap browser but better than what the 3DS has. But once the 3DS has Miiverse then it will be a lot more functional than just having access to the website.

How often would I visit Miiverse? I'd end up spending more time on there than on the actual games. I'm glad they're still planning it for the 3DS.

@atomicjuicer I also do not own a wii u, but I have a guess. There are a series of bubbles each with it's own picture in it. each bubble represents a discussion. Select one and you will be taken to a discussion where you can type or draw something about what the topic is based off of.

i hope we get it before the end of the year. even better would be before Pokemon X & Y come out.

yeah i tried the website and wow its about as good as using the wii u still some bugs and all like not being able to load the mii pics least for me but so far good now if my gamepad runs of battery i can let it charge while i use my pc

cant wait to see it on 3ds though just taking screenshots of your 3ds games is good enough and it will get more ppl to use miiverse that dont have wii u

Long as it's similar to the Wii U version,I don't care.

Very excited. Of course this means you'll be able to create a Nintendo ID from your 3DS, right? Otherwise there wouldn't be no point.

@Einherjar yeah i got to agree and my prediction miiverse for the 3ds will launch june or may.

Miiverse on 3DS would be awesome!

@atomicjuicer - It's like Facebook or Twitter. Twitter w/ handmade drawings. You can still go to the website and look at it even though you can't sign in.

@FernandoMachado

What he asked. I'll be excited for 3DS Miiverse if you can create an account on each 3DS - each of my kids has 1 but we still don't have a WiiU. If you still need a WiiU to create an account before using it on the 3DS then I'm much less excited and won't be using it.

Maybe somebody at NL can inquire about that?

This is great news! I have been eagerly waiting for the announcement of MiiVerse on the Nintendo 3DS for a long time. I wonder how the account system will work though.

I would've preferred within the week, but that's pretty unreasonable. It's also unreasonable for it not to come within the year, but hey, at least Nintendo sees that which is more than I can say about a lot of companies.

Hopefully the 3ds version is like the wiiu where you dont have to leave the game to post. Also does this mean 3ds will use Nintendo network id? I hope it cn be used to message friends quickly in game

@mumof2kids82
That would be killer! I know many people are getting a 3ds for those games and having miiverse just for those games would increase the social aspect

Can't wait for the 3DS Miiverse, it's good to see the network expanding.

I honestly thought there was no way this could possibly be a thing. If the system can't suspend DSiware and oldDS games, how is it going to have the power to suspend AND interact with a whole new program? I'm still skeptical, I'm seeing it to be a thing where you can't have games suspended or post screenshots, but we'll see. Nintendo has surprised us before of their capabilities. by the way nintendo, PLEASE ADD AN SD CARD CHANNEL LIKE YOU DID WITH THE WII ONTO THE 3DS! so many of my dsiware games are stuck on my sd card in un-playable limbo

i hope thay let us do screen shots on the 3DS ver 8) - also i hope it runs like on the WiiU so you dont have to close the game to use it (like you do with Nintendo Leterbox / SwapNote)

Can't wait, should be a great addition to the 3ds.

Great idea

Personally, I plan on using it quite often for my 3ds. I almost want it more than some games as it seems like a good way to kill some time chatting about your favorite games.

Ugh, well if it is going to take until Dec 31st it BETTER have all of the functionality the WiiU version does, and then some. With such a great lineup for 3DS, it's a shame it's not out already. I honestly think Miiverse, along with some added online functionality will help sell BOTH systems, especially if they include ALL games in both Miiverses. Also, where is Hulu Plus and Youtube? You wouldn't think the system has been out for 2 years judging by its archaic online features...

Wasn't there a Mobile app in the works for iOS/Android? Or am I imagining things?

Miiverse on 3ds would be amazing. but does that mean the whole friend code thing is gone? will our NNID's follow onto our 3ds?

I think it will be very cool. Keeps fingers crossed

Awesome!! You know what else I would love to see on 3DS this year?~ (YOUTUBE! PLEASEEE!!)

But they said that last year!

Hmmm, this is certainly interesting... I, for one, would use MiiVerse alot of the time. The 3DS needs more social applications, too few games have voice-chat. The 3DS is already user-friendly, but with both MiiVerse and FlipNote Studios coming this year, it's bound to boom with user-generated content. I've optimistic, but also wary.

Guys are right. We really need a youtube app!
