Nintendo recently updated the Japanese website for the upcoming Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer on the 3DS, and lots of new information about the sharing functionality within the game has been revealed.
In addition to posting images to Twitter and Facebook via the Image Sharing feature - as was the case in Aminal Crossing: New Leaf - you'll naturally also be able to post images to Miiverse too. However, it appears that the whole process has been streamlined this time; you won't need to go through the Home Menu to share images of your happy home or animal friends. This is the first time - that we can think of - that a 3DS game has sidestepped the Home Menu in order to let you share within the game itself, though this is a common feature in Wii U games [Update: Integrated Miiverse posting of album snapshots is available in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, added in a post-launch update]
What do you think of this move to streamlined sharing? Will this encourage you to post more screens of your creations?

It isn't uncommon for me to post 20+ times when a game allows me to do it from the game itself such as Bayonetta 2 or Mario Kart 8. I can tell you I will be posting images of this game pretty much all the time thanks to this feature.
I am so happy to hear this! I know I'll be posting alot for this game, but this feature just sweetens the deal! I love it when Nintendo makes things easier for gamers, and I can't wait to share some of my favorites moments to Miiverse.
I know I'd post a lot more stuff if I didn't have to boot up Miiverse everytime. I would like to see this feauture implemented more in Wii U/3DS games.
A miiverse box should just there when you hit the home button at all times. No need to "boot" into anything.
Can't wait to play this game. This feature just sweetens the deal for me.
They should add this feature to all the 3DS games.
Every time I see more of this game I want it more.
Yeah, more games should definitely have features like this!
This was shown off at E3... old news.
Anyways, I'm glad this is used finally on the 3DS. It's why I waited for Miiverse in the first place. In-game Miiverse functionality like a lot of Wii U games. No need for the home button.
"In addition to posting images to Twitter and Facebook via the Image Sharing feature - as was the case in Aminal Crossing: New Leaf"
Aminal Crossing? I think I like the typo better than the original.
Good addition. When you live in a place with poor internet like me, miiverse tends to be forgotten, but with this I might actually post something!
This is actually very neat, but can we see some Miiverse posts in-game like in Splatoon? That's probably my favourite type of Miiverse functionality.
Glad to hear this news although it won't affect me: I don't use Miiverse at all really; think I saw a tumbleweed blowing past my Twitter I've been so inactive; and I don't have (or want) a Facebook. (Pinterest, G+, and Tumblr are my networks of choice, currently.) Looks like posting would still be somewhat of a hassle for me. Oh well.
Wasn't it Pokémon Art Academy the first Nintendo 3DS game to support native Miiverse image posting?
