There have been hundreds - probably thousands - of comments complaining, but the Miiverse redesign is coming regardless. On the one hand the new layouts look like a slick way to share screens and progress in games, but the comment limits and move away from supporting 'chat' isn't going down well with all fans of the platform.
As explained previously by Nintendo, the goal is to prioritise the network as a place for gamers to interact around the titles they're playing, and any major changes are always likely to be divisive. Those that don't want change don't have long to say farewell to the current layout, however, as a notification post has given 29th July as the go-live date for the redesign.
It'll be interesting to gauge the reaction to the change once it goes down. Will you be checking out the new Miiverse design next week?

No doubt I'll completely ignore this and check out Windows 10... great day to release this update Nintendo...
I'm okay with it. Let's just see how it works in practice though.
It is the end of miiverse and the world I can not talk like I want to.
Please be Nintendo Direct!
No doubt I'll completely ignore this and play more Splatoon... but of course I'll come back to this right after.
How I ever going to live though this.I am devastated
Time to buy more vita games.
Windows 10 day. lol. Well supposedly not everyone is getting Windows 10 on the 29th. Its to be released in waves.
I'll be checking out Miiverse for sure. I love the new changes. It sure gets some people cranky, though!
@Portal_King Visit Miiverse on Edge for Windows 10 whilst you listen to music in Groove and play games in the Xbox app. Simples!
@SMW Insiders will get it from the Wednesday, whilst those who have reserved will get it soon after.
Meanwhile I'll be on a plane to Taiwan so I miss out on both the fun of Windows 10 day and Miiverse overhaul day. Too bad, I was looking forward to both.
I'm excited for it really. No more off topic junk from little kids. If you want to chat about unrelated topics, get a Facebook.
I'll probably be playing around Windows 10,but i'll check it out too
Can't wait to hear all of the people complain about the redesign /s
@Portal_King
Would hold off on updating to windows 10 on its release day. Let others be the testers for all the issues that will surely pop up
Looks good! Not that I really use Miiverse much anyways.
@Portal_King I'll be checking both Windows 10 and the new Miiverse out. I'm very sure others will do the same, so what's the problem with releasing this on the 29th?
@Gelantious Aw, come on. Don't be a party pooper! XD
Seriously, though. I'm quite excited for the release of Windows 10. The words 'free' sold me instantly!
Heh heh heh. Off topics will continue. They know a way, even with the redesign. Can't stop the online social sensation as the Internet.
@NintyMan Heh, funny, The majority of the miiverse posts i've seen has been dreading the update. And since I finally found differing opionion fro you guy at nl...... I guess well see what this update entails for the future.
Lots of people I know are not happy with this change.
The comments are hilarious on Miiverse, they are really not happy... The end is nigh, folks! Lol I like Miiverse and I'm pretty sure I'll still like it after whatever happens next Wednesday, looking forward to it
The main problem for most of the active people on Miiverse it that you can only post/comment 30 times per day which is a bit of a shame in a way :-/. Though the new the design look cool and I hope the new update will be better than what we can foresee now .
Still Miiverse and specifically the Zelda community has become a pretty weird place lately for some weeks ;^^. If it is one thing I hope this update will do is to raise the general quality on Miiverse and in the Zelda community especially in my case ^^.
@Kimite What's wrong with the Zelda community? I'm really interested.
@Kimite That won't change until we actually get some info on Zelda U.
@Aromaiden It used to be a place centered around Zelda games, but since the old Smash community went down it's a constant battleground between off-topic "trash-posters" (AKA annoying tweens that worship memes) and hardcore Zelda fans (AKA annoying tweens and the occasional actual hardcore Zelda fan).
@Aromaiden
Mostly it is just the quality in my view as now nearly everything feels like small memes or questions that have been so many times before :-/. Of course there are good drawings and good artists in the Zelda community still, but not as much as there was before ;^^.
What I would like is more interesting and good discussions, mini comics, maybe Hylian alphabet posts, well thought-out (mini) Fanfictions, and more good drawings .
@Grumblevolcano
Yeah I know ;^^. Still I think there might be Nintendo Direct in August, as there as so many things supposed to come out then ^^. (Hopefully this means that we will see Zelda U too .).
I think it is likely that we will see the Rainmaking mode and the true match-making system for Splatoon, Tournament mode for Smash, Devil's Third, upcoming dates for fall games, announcing new localized/going to be localized titles, indies and actually maybe Nintendo's new mobile game .
I am not sure if we will see Zelda U in the August Nintendo Direct if it comes true in August, but at least we know we will get more information about Zelda U sooner or later ^^.
On my birthday? O:
@Lalivero Happy early Birthday!!
@Kimite @fed0ra7 Poor Zelda ;_;. Hopefully some Zelda U is shown soon so they can have something to discuss.
I seem to be in the minority, but I am looking forward to the update. For example:
@Kimite I'd go further and say I think the random July 29th Direct rumour image is true, the contents of that rumour don't really mean anything as they're all obvious things like Super Mario Maker and Rainmaker. Here's my list of why I think it'll be that date:
1. Miiverse redesign, big changes to miiverse have appeared in Directs before like the main people involved with the community being changed.
2. Huge Smash and Splatoon updates confirmed for August but we don't know when during that month.
3. Huge amiibo restock on the Nintendo UK Online Store, almost all figures became available (EVEN ROSALINA) and so doesn't feel like a coincidence.
4. Nintendo has confirmed Mario Kart 8 as one of the games you can play at Gamescom, for a game whose final confirmed content released 3 months ago this seems fishy.
I don't really care for this redesign or Windows 10 (tried the dev preview and it felt like a OSX/Linux wannabe).
@Darknyht make that 2 in the minority. I thought I was the only one looking forward to the update for those same reason.
Tbh I would post on Miiverse a lot more but with the way it is currently, the only other thing I do is comment on other people post, which it doesn't keep a log of.
@Kimite I'm expecting zelda you to feature around November time, Nintendo doesn't usually talk about further away games when then have new stuff on the horizon
I wonder if they'll do a Gamescom Direct??????? Nintendo of Europe
@Aromaiden
Yeah, I hope Zelda U will be shown soon too ^^.
@Grumblevolcano
Could happen I guess, I mean that Nintendo time the Nintendo Direct and the Miiverse update on the same day wouldn't be too unlikely I think. As for the other things we will see, but most of the other things you mentioned except number 2 don't have that much to do with games as that it would be revealed in a Direct ;^^.
Still I hope Nintendo will announce that they will restock a lot of Amiibos as well and in terms of Mario Kart 8 on Gamescom it would be nice .
Though, I think in the next Nintendo Direct there will be a little tribute to Iwata and I hope it is done well.
Heh, a Nintendo Direct fixes everything.
@abe_hikura
I wouldn't mind if Nintendo waited with showing Zelda U until November, but hopefully we will get some small information before that as many Zelda fans is very hunger for Zelda U information ;^^.
Even if Nintendo just show Zelda U Link again before November I think many Zelda fans like me would be happy .
(I have survived waiting for Kingdom Hearts 3 information and I will survive waiting for new Zelda U information too).
Cool-
30 comments/posts per day
WELCOME TO MIIVERSE WE'RE A SOCIAL NETWORK I THINK
also
Erika's reasoning is possibly the worst I've ever heard.
What a coincidence the update release the same day Windows 10 rolls out. Speaking of Windows 10, I have heard a lot of good things from those who tried the preview
@Kimite I'd expect a tease at the end of any direct before november, whether its just Zelda U link hovering in the back of a Triforce Hero's trailer
I'm impressed its coming out next week, when they said summer I figured around Sept 15 or so, which is still technically summer so they wouldnt be wrong.
Update sounds good to me, would take them about 3 keystrokes to change the 30 limit to 50 or 100 if need be.
I do hope all the negativity surrounding the change does away w/ any thoughts anyone may have had about NOA changing its mind about publishing Devils Third due to "consumer feedback", Nintendo doesn't care what we think.
@abe_hikura
I see ^^. Well right now we can just hope I guess and I think will see some sort of Zelda U information before November . (I hope like you said Nintendo shows Zelda U Link right after or in the end of the Tri-Force Heroes part).
Hopefully Miiverse/internet will be kind to Link when he is in Zelda's dress in Tri-Force Heroes ;^^.
@Kimite thats what made me laugh about the claims that Triforce heroes wasn't "inclusive" because there wasn't a girl character, Its proudly got a transvestite on all the art work, surely thats a bigger win
@abe_hikura
I think it is well too bad that Tri-Force Heroes doesn't feature a female character as I am a female myself ;^^. A bit jokish, but at bit sad at the same time: Girls can't heroes, they are heroines not heroes. Well, yeah :-/.
Still there have been a lot/some funny drawings with Link in Zelda's dress and I don't mind it . (Still someone goes a bit far in my taste ;^^).
NOOO The memes, bigley, shrek, trolling the dumb ytc...... all gone.
I've already quit, anyways...
Ok.
I'll continue my non use of a garbage application/service.
@Kimite personally i dont use the term Heroines for basically the reasons you just said. Somehow "heroine" has lost the "heroic" over the last few years. I think if they are intent on the idea that only one or less of the triforce heroes is actually THE Link (and not him being split) that it would be fun for one of them to be a girl posing as link (which lets face it alot of cosplay suggests this would be surprising easy)
I understand Nintendo wants Miiverse to be game-centred and doesn't want long chats and that's their reason for the 30 per day limitation. All they had to do is give us a general discussion community!! Not a limitation! Look at video game forums on the internet!!! They all have a general discussion/ unrelated section. Nintendo, the reason why we are posting off topic posts in game communities is because there's nowhere else to post it!
This was copied and pasted from my post: https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYQHAAABAACNUKFIi-hycQ
Just Nintendo showing how out of touch they are with online function. Yet we will do it this way and you will like it! Yikes. You will not be making online friends in any of our applications. That's the way it is.
@Windy Nintendo's really "stern" in a way, which is almost ironic considering they are the most kid friendly of the big 3.
@Aromaiden yeah I know. In my experience as a gamer since 1976. I've noticed its usually the kids who get out of line 90% of the time. Maybe 95% of the time. I have also never met a pediphile or been hit on, or recieved inappropriate photos of any kind using these apps. I've played so much online gaming and none of the above has happened to me nor have I seen it happen to others. I just think they are that out of touch. Sorry to the kids for the you usually start this stuff but you usually do.
This change has nothing to do with the gamers and everything to do with Nintendo forcing the gamers to do nothing but advertise and promote their games for no compensation.
Glad I enjoyed MiiVerse when it started, but too bad I've lost touch with many interesting people due to Nintendo's mismanagement of it.
Like the cherry blossoms, the joy of MiiVerse was short and sweet.
I haven't been on Miiverse in over a year. Don't intend on looking at it any time soon.
Really, all they needed to do was create their own version of XBL and PSN... but instead they made Nintwitter.
@abe_hikura Sorry for being late, but life ;^^.
Yeah, I don't use the terms heroine either and I don't really feel like it always fit either. (Though English is my second language anyway).
We or at least I don't know the full reason behind it not being Link in different colors, but yes it would be fun if there was a girl posing as Link . (Or please add a playable female later Nintendo o^o). As you said there are many female who cosplay as Link instead of crossplaying and I wouldn't mind if Nintendo added Linkle later in Tri-Force Heroes .
@Kimite did you see Linkle might be in Hyrule Warriors for 3DS, a piece of concept art for her was used in the trailer
Maybe I've missed a trick here but I am surprised about all the really negative comments about this update. I can appreciate the comment limit feedback although 30 a day seems enough but thats just me. The rest of the organising of the communities looks good and while I am not a massive miiverse user, I am looking forward to seeing the changes. I do like the idea of a screenshot album and I can see myself using it more.
