Miiverse has undergone a lot of changes and a few re-designs, not all of them popular, but is still utilised by Nintendo as a unique social network for its fans. Possibly the best example of this was in the daily screenshots that Masahiro Sakurai posted during the development of Super Smash Bros., for example.
It's also used to encourage players to take on specific challenges and post on the platform. We've seen this with Camp Miiverse in Summer months, and now we'll have the 'Miiverse Monster-a-thon', which will run from 23rd October to 1st November. As you can see in the blurb below it'll try and get us playing some relatively recent releases on Wii U and 3DS.
Celebrate Halloween early in the Miiverse Monster-a-thon community! From Oct. 23 to Nov. 1, take part in all kinds of spooky special events, including fun polls and challenges. Don't miss out on game events featuring the Super Mario Maker, Mario Party 10 and Yoshi's Woolly World games for the Wii U system, as well as the The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes and Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer games for the Nintendo 3DS system. Happy gaming!
At present Nintendo is pointing us to the Play Nintendo Miiverse community, so that looks like the destination for this online event.
Are you planning to take part, or will you be turning off the lights, locking the door and hoping this Miiverse event goes away? Let us know.

"Super Mario Maker, Mario Party 10 and Yoshi's Woolly World games for the Wii U system, as well as the The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes and Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer games for the Nintendo 3DS system."
Well I only own 2 of those games... guess I won't get to participate.
That blurb somehow manages to forget the only Halloween-related game that's coming out on the Wii U, let alone being released today:
Fatal Frame V!
Nothing will ever be better than Camp Miiverse.
yeah but that's not really a family friendly game and i think that's what they are aiming at here.
How about plotting a Direct, Nintendo? :\
I feel like none of those games have anything to do with monsters aside from Zelda. I mean unless you include that most of the enemies from Mario games are based on mythical japanese creatures.
Well, I own zero of those games and don't plan on owning any of them in the timeframe given. So I guess I will go back to trying to clear out the backlog while waiting for Xenoblade Chronicles X.
I have Super Mario Maker, so maybe I'll look into it.

I don't have any of those 3ds games and don't own a wii u so it's not for me. I've tried Miiverse a few times and tried really hard to enjoy it but I still don't really see any point to it.
The last time I used the miiverse was to post and check my Mario Maker levels.
1. No Monster Hunter for this event? Wat?
2. "Happy gaming!"....
Jajaja Miiverse its awesome!! if not the killer aplication the WiiU have... at least for me this sold me the system
This has nothing to do with Halloween. It's just a ploy to get you to buy their more recent games.
I'm in! Camp Miiverse was alright. No replacement for Camp Hyrule or anything, though #Stumpy
More horse plots needed!
@DefHalan Don't think you need all of em to play?
but I have 3 of them... 3 of the games are also recent releases... half-life confirmed?
@Peek-a-boo AND Slenderman!
