Video: Latest Miiverse Update Continues to Improve the Platform

I would really like the ability to "yeah" other people's comments. Even if it was only for post that I start.

Categorization was very much needed. I'm glad they added that, it was starting to get a bit overwhelming with new games being added all the time.

@Wiidsguy I absolutely agree with that, they should add that because the comments can be SO good and not just the post.

I know a lot of others probably feel this way too, but it'd be nice if they'd raise the 100 character limit per post up to maybe 300 characters. Sometimes it's a little annoying not being able to fit all my thoughts into one post. Or I have to make multiple comments to get all my thoughts in on a post.

Other much needed changes:

1. A tag or hashtag system so you can follow trends
2. Increase 100 character limit
3. Enable gameplay video posting for regular users
4. Opt in - Out out option as to whether or not you
want to receive notifications from other users who
comment on posts you've yeah'd/commented on.
5. Additional colors and drawing tools
6. Decrease Activity Feed load times.
7. A system to challenge bans or post deletions,
or at least allow you to present your case.
8. Profile Page designs. These could be unlocked
after a certain number of posts, yeah's given, time
spent in the app etc and could be in the guise of
various Nintendo characters/franchises.

If they maintain the rather small character limit on posts, which certainly needs to be increased, they definitely need some kind of hash tag system like Twitter. They should at least increase to 144 so with the upcoming mobile app it will be possible to cross post on Twitter.

@P184 I agree. Those are all good ideas.

While improving the Miiverse on Wii /u is nice, all I want right now is for it to hit the 3DS.

They should at least make it so you can keep typin past the 100 character limit and it will automatically split your text into 100 character comments instead of having to click post, wait, then click comment just to keep typing mid sentence. The character limit would be harmless if they did this.

Miiverse rocks-updates can only Make it better

@PorllM That's an even better idea than my 300 character limit!

@P184 Genius! I support 100% such ideas, those would make the Miiverse a perfect Nintendo community and more awesome than it is right now

Meanwhile, on the 3DS...

@Five-seveN I think they should make it to 300, but they should do so by segmenting comments that are 300 characters long into 3 comments one after the other. Like:
bla bla bla (100) = comment 1
bla bla bla (100) = comment 2
bla bla bla (100) = comment 3
I don't really know how to explain it better out of the blue, but that's my idea.

@P184 On that point 3 that would be great especially in Smash where we can save game videos. They should make it so we can post our own Smash video from the Smash servers to Miiverse for all to enjoy those Falcon Punches.

@P184 Wait a minute... Are you "Wii U News"?? That's what your user profile seems to imply.

@PorllM You said it better than I tried about that comment segmentation. I'm with you 100%.

@P184 Leave the character count as it is. Miiverse isnt a forum to have meaningful conversation. There are many forums to do that and the Wii U has a broswer so do it there. Miiverse is for giving quick replys or encouragements to people that beat a level, etc. Not talking about discussion heavy topics.

I also do not like the tag system where anyone can create them. This isnt twitter either. Leave the tag system to game/application created ones like Mario and Tvii.

Let Miiverse be its own thing.

There other ones are great.

I want Nintendo to create a way to save your screenshots to the system memory so you can pull them up and use them late in Miiverse.

I would also like a larger drawing window for illustrated posts.

@Wiidsguy totally agree!

@DePapier Yeah that's what PorllM was saying and I think that would be much more convenient than having to write stop write stop write stop.

I like this update. Sorting games, apps and special communities into categories makes it easier and the favourite communities button is easier to press too.

Please no hashtags. Kids annoy the hell out of me with that stuff.

Now, if they could allow me to categorise my channels on my Wii U I'd be very happy indeed.

@Exile20 Phew. I thought I was alone.

@FineLerv #Whatyoudon'tlikehashtags? #Howcouldyoudothat!?
Just kidding, I hate it when people do stuff like ^ too.

These changes are nice. They really need to dash the 100-character limit though. I can't recall how many times I've had to rethink what I was going to say simply because it wouldn't fit, often changing it to a post that was inferior. I'd also like to see the option of unfollowing posts, similar to how Facebook does it :3

@SkywardLink98 Heh. Now that's my kind of humour. #hashedgag

@Emaan If they do increase the limit, I personally like the solution mentioned in previous posts where longer posts are just automatically split up. I've learned to be concise with my Original Postings but conversations on posts end up sounding like baby talk. Still, it's nice being able to click the feed and seeing everything everyone is saying with just a cursory glance.

Ixnay on the ashtaghay. But I do like the character limit increase suggestion.

@SethNintendo What do hashtags do anyway?

I noticed how the communities were sorted on miiverse. It is pretty cool! Quicker loading times also help! I am also excited for the miiverse app. Could it possibly be coming to the kindle fire hd, because that's the touchscreen device I have. I am so annoyed when Apple devices get all the apps, and miiverse is the safest social network I know. I post an awful lot on miiverse, so I would really like for the app to also come to kindle fire tablets.

Since all of the videos that admins post are through Youtube, they should allow us to record a game play video and upload it to a personal Youtube account for sharing on the Miiverse. They already let us save video of NSMBU challenges; why not let us share them!?

"While not a system-seller in its own right"

Actually I think some people liked the idea so much they couldn't wait to get the Wii U and share news with their friends online. These people are limited, true, but people buy PS3s because they have trophies or 360's because they have achievements.

Weird, I know

We will no doubt see more improvements, but I doubt a bigger color palette will be one of them. If anything, we'll see a drawing app for strictly drawing like Art Academy on 3DS, that you can post like a screenshot.
I think the limit is fine. I usually write the letters myself if I can't type the full message out.
Miiverse has alot of potential, and I'm actually surprised people enjoyed it for what it was day 1. It seems pretty barren IMO, but that can change.

All I need is Japanese keyboard support. Why give us access to Japanese boards if we can't type in them?

@EarthboundBenjy My wife would like to be able to use Chinese characters on the Wii. She's a big fan of YouTube via the Internet channel.
