When it came to system updates in the Wii and DS era, Nintendo typically didn't get too carried away with frequent changes and additions. That's all changed in this Wii U and 3DS era, with system stability changes on a regular basis, while Miiverse — as a browser-based service — regularly has minor enhancements and adjustments; it's no more a case of "let's wait until there's more to change", as the update cycle speeds up.
Thankfully with Miiverse there's no waiting time, and Nintendo sometimes alternates between updating all three versions — Wii U, 3DS and web — or just one at a time. The latest update, however, is the most minor yet, so prepare to not have your socks blown off by the details below.
It's an improvement, to be fair, and we'd be quick to complain if updates weren't forthcoming. Have you set your favourite genre list on Wii U and 3DS, and will you now do so on the web browser version? Why isn't "platformer" an option? Both important questions...

Oh cool nice way of further meeting people.
I was surprised platformer wasn't an option as well, especially considering the large number of platformers that Nintendo makes.
Nintendo calls platformers "action games".
I assume "action" is an option?
It was always a little weird/jarring hearing Iwata call NSMB a "2D action series" rather than "platformer". But thats just what they do.
"The Miiverse equivalent to system stability"
Haha you got that right.
First one I put "Action" since there's no platformer option.
Second I put RPG and third I have Simulation (mainly because I like Animal Crossing).
Currently for my profile 'Sim' would appear first because of 'Tomodachi'.
I saw it a few hours ago but assumed it has always been there
Thomas was the first person I followed on Miiverse... He still hasn't changed his description one bit, since then. xD
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was visiting Nintendo Life, and I saw the article saying that Miiverse had finally hit the 3DS. On the article, it showed a screen-shot of Tom's profile, and I thought "Hey, there's his username, maybe I oughta follow him". Ah, good times, good times. xD
And as for the genres I set as my favorite(a while back), they are:
Adventure
RPG
Fighting
Can I set my favorite game genre to "dating sim"?
@IxC Strange because the search thing on Nintendo.co.uk has platformer as a subsection of Action/Adventure (That has basically all games in it other than Sport).
I'll check later but is : mmorpg an option?
Give it time for all the genres to appear, Little baby steps at a time.
@exusarmyranger negative
I also wish "strategy" was an option.
Miiverse is still toooo sloooooow, so is eshop. It really puts me off posting or even checking my notifications. It's still browser based, why the web elements couldn't be integrated into a static OS I don't know - for example, Miiverse notifications in games like SM3DW, or, day I say it, Xbox 360's OS....
