Gallery: A Look Back At Some Of Miiverse's Craziest And Most Beautiful Moments

never used...

I'll be the first to admit that I am easily distracted by nice looking water.

I love Miiverse.

Well it being gone is a shame. So long miiverse.

like dis if u cry ereytim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPme2gSE46U

I loved the way Miiverse was integrated into many games, like Super Mario 3D World and Wii Fit U. It made you feel like you were playing along with other people.

Switch's online implementation is so barebones by comparison. I really hope they bring something like Miiverse back, but Nintendo's history has shown that they eventually sour on the idea of having to moderate online interaction and would rather just shut it all down (RIP Swapnote).

Once Nintendo implemented that dumb 'one active discussion per user' rule, i was done with it. A social media / communication service which actively stifled discussion. No thanks.

I was never a fan of Miiverse specifically, it always seemed silly to post random posts about your game that nobody will read anyway. The only time I made use of it was Splatoon and Splatfest artwork specifically. It's nice that they've brought it back there where it worked, though it's not nice that it requires the use of Facebook or Twitter. I would not create an account for those companies if one were required to obtain potable water, so I'm locked out of posting for Splatfest.

After trading in my Wii U I've been browsing the activity feed on my 3DS every now and then which is great, but it's just not the same. Bring Miiverse to the Switch!!!

Bye bye Mii Verse it was fun while it last, just hope you come to Switch one day.

I liked MiiVerse a fair amount. Neat way to communicate from within games. Wish they wouldnt have moderated it so hard, but i'll miss it all the same. I hate when games and servers go offline....

I don't want it to be shutdown ill lose all my screenshots ;_;

My favorite Miiverse post, from days ago. My own immortality. Well until Nintendo shuts it down. Ganon gets the rest of Hyrule, the Great Plateau is mine.

The nice water comments are all from the same user!

Gonna admit, I have actually used miiverse a lot ever since Sakurai started posting smash bros pics. If the rumor's true, I'm gonna miss it. 😢

@Shaymin If you want to keep all your screenshots you can go to the Miiverse website and right click on your images and save them.

@NEStalgia "Nobody reads Miiverse posts" is one of my least favourite falsehoods. People certainly do read my posts (note the present tense). Meanwhile, nobody is reading my tweets, because people don't seem to watch hashtags the way they watch Miiverse communities...

Holy crap, that doomed romance is sooo funny.

@Metalinkster hahah i expected this to be in the article. Glad I can rely on good people like you to continue to show the world this beautiful and tragic love story

the barn isn't actually funky

@OorWullie I don't know how i didn't think of that XD thanks for the tip.

I don't have a favorite. Most of them are inane. I recall that long conversation between two preteens, where the guy thought he lost the girl.

AWFUL.

It was always my hope that Nintendo would somehow combine Miiverse, Miitomo, and StreetPass in an interesting way for Switch.
I think it'd give the console a bit of character, and the console is really missing the "idle play" element that the 3DS and Wii U came with. I know they're trying to attract a different and more adult audience, but it could be an optional free install.

The Zelda community is filled with 8-year old cancer. Surprisingly.

Had a lot of fun with Miiverse!

sad to see it go...

"Is mount wario a course or a command" was always one of my personal favourites 😂

all my mediocre water doodles will be gone...oh well, I've made peace with that...I Guess.

I still remember how much meme hell the Splatoon miiverse was. Good times

I'm so looooonely when I'm aloooone.

Nicole where are u

This article has got me looking back over all my old posts on Miiverse. So many memories... I made loads of friends too. Now that we can add friends on Switch from other Nintendo consoles (Wii U, 3DS) I've managed to reconnect with some of them!.

Miiverse was good fun. The main draw was sharing funny screenshots or drawing things related to current games and having your friends and even random people online see your mark. Unfortunately, it wasn't implemented that well beyond that, and took a major turn for the worse when they attempted to overhaul it.

I loved Miiverse, loved the whole idea of it. None of my social media friends want to see my constant posts about video games they have no interest in. Miiverse was a great place for the fans of the game to read your posts and for you to see current comments and drawings about the game you're playing. I thought it was great when they incorporate Miiverse into the actual game (like Splatfests and Mario Maker). This is a shame.

I always appreciate nice looking water.
That last post (the 3D world one) was pretty good.

Definitely loved Miiverse with the Splatfests and of course the Tingle Bottle feature to finish the Nintendo Gallery in Windwaker HD!

One of the things I loved when I first played SM 3D World was seeing everyone's Miiverse posts after clearing a level right there in-game. It'll be just a little sad not having the same experience with Odissey.

Missed a lot, Should of used these, they're way better! Best Posts of Miiverse perhaps?

I don't think most people here recognize how much of a niche community Miiverse actually was in its heyday. Lots of people seem to know it as just a community where Nintendo owners posted game-stuff. But it wasn't JUST that.

There were artists, there were memes, there were "wars", and so many other back ally things that happened on Miiverse that made it unique, very much like any other social media platforms. Most people I guess just didn't have the time to dive into it all.

Shame.

Good times...


Yeah... Good times...

The good, the bad, the ugly, the annoying of Miiverse!!! XD

I've met some wonderful people on Miiverse!

The communities were not TOXIC!!!!! Amazing!!!! Some trolls but nothing too crazy or dumb.

The early days of miiverse were fantastic but as we got the updates miiverse sucked so hard! The Miiverse police, as I call them, flagging things I posted. [Mostly Xenoblade Chronicles X stuff that I was addressing about their game such as NPC side mission of suicide and religion in the game...]

Miiverse...you are what made the Wii U stand out more. It was SO great that even Sony and Microsoft incorporated 'miiverse-like' things into their current gen systems. That alone makes Miiverse awesome but it's annoying! XD

Now...I'm just rambling. XD But whenever miiverse dies, i will say:

'Miiverse, thanks for the friends and memories I've made with ya. It's been real brah. Later.'

@CheddarSword You forgot trolls hating what ever you put u i had that when i drew my Rockman pic and one of my comments got taken down (becasuse i was defending myself) so i posted it back up F the miiverse police

https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYQHAAABAACNUKE3EG9-3g

@setezerocinco same

Whole idea seemed like a pathetic facebook knock off to me

Miiverse is such an important part of the Wii U experience. I love it!

I had the most fun with Miiverse stage in Smash Bros. It became a Memeverse, always something fun to look at while fighting.

At least you can upload screenshots through the web browser. So that should still work after the Miiverse closure, whenever that is. Just go to your favorite photo sharing site and hit upload.

too old school for miiverse, never used it lol

@rjejr Nice! I was planning on selling my Wii U sometime next year before getting a Switch, so I've been holding off on purchasing the DLC. I don't really mind the lack of all the other stuff, but I really wish I could get that Hero's Path mode, it's so useful for remembering where you've been.

I just watched the Miiverse romance video between the two 8th graders. That was beautiful.

Miiverse shutting down will ruin the WaraWara Plaza. I don't think it's shutting down any time soon though.

I used to love drawing...one thing that I enjoyed about the Wii U in the beginning, but it grew old fast. Plus, I always hated how some people were able to draw works of incredible art (which I wondered if they cheated somehow) and some that only had one word and nothing else, had over 10,000 likes, where something that was great only got 5-10 likes...never made sense to me. However, it was really fun to draw and post!

I just used it for screenshots, Miiverse was usually littered with inappropriate drawings that never got removed. See, those kinds of people are perfectly fine, but mention Sony once or something and you're OUT! lol

There are some really nice posts to the Digger Dan DX community, particularly some of the images people produced. I'm going to miss Miiverse. I have just about 4000 followers on there now.

My fave post:
https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHlNqaeOEg

@Metalinkster I was wondering if that'd show up in this article. XD

This is the best Miiverse post period.

My favorite thing about Miiverse was looking at all the stupid posts. It would always be amazed by how stupid some people are and how little effort they put into their posts. The two worst things I remember are just random squiggles showing up in the background of the Smash Bros. Miiverse stage and posts that are just the same stamp over and over again showing up on the Yoshi's Woolly World loading screen. Don't even get me started on the posts I saw in Splatoon. It's like those morons don't have actual brains. I also got temporarily banned a lot for calling people idiots.

@G0dlike
You, sir, are a genius. I am certain that you were the only person to notice that because it's so subtle. It's a good thing you left that comment.

@NEStalgia people who don't like Miiverse = people with no sense of humour.

This is part of what I don't understand about Nintendo's methodology. They'll introduce something, only to retract it later. Why not build and improve on the MiiVerse infrastructure for Switch and future platforms? They have a strange relationship with their own technology. I realize this is Nintendo land, and someone is always going to defend their actions, but as a new Switch owner, the console is very lacking in apps and features that would easily enhance the experience. Again, look at the last generation on the Wii U: Netflix, Amazon Video, MiiVerse, etc. The Switch is two steps backward in some ways.

Oh well. So long, MiiVerse.

Haha these were the real good days

Did no one on Miiverse realize that awesome water of Zoness?

Stop treating us like babies & bring it to the Switch Nintendo!!

The love story tragedy was by far my favorite Miiverse thing, a work of art. Also there's a guy on there called shower_gel and his stuff is HILARIOUS.

@mystman12 Wrong THIS is the best
https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYQHAAABAACXVHhljL5j4g?fb_ref=scfbp

I enjoy Miiverse, still use it at least weekly, but I know most of my friends have stopped.

I dunno, it's going to be sad to see it go. I know Switch just uses the mainstream social media, but eh... this was a case I liked them being on their own and different.

Phillip J Reed's playthrough of Mega Man X was pretty memorable.

Good times.

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/06/feature_a_miiverse_adventure_with_mega_man_x

It was fun at first but it was just so clunky and slow that I was tired of it super quick.

I'll sure miss the RP threads.

My proudest moment in Miiverse was the number of people I got sh*t-canned. I was such an effective troll. I think the number of twerps I disappeared from the platform was well into three figures

What? I was cool with the majority of the denizens of Nintendo's social network. It was just a lot of peeps took me for a soft touch; some harmless so-and-so they could poke fun at. That was their mistake.

Hee-hee!

@shadow-wolf "Hero's Path mode"

I held off on playing it until we got it, I'm a bit of a map nut. And not just for drawing art, though that's fun too, always enjoyed my Etch-a-Sketch, but man that's a big world. My son beat Ganon and all 4 Divine Beasts, never set foot on the entire left side of the map, which he only figured out after we turned on the green line after he'd been playing for 60 hours. I'm making a beeline for Karriko village now, but I'm hitting up several towers on the way, and Hateno Village by accident. 30, 40 or 50 hours from now I don't think I'd be able to remember every mountaintop I've climbed w/o that line.

I am also adamant that it should be a free update for everyone. It's already in the game if it records 200 hours, just let people turn it on, this isn't a free to start game, it's $60, and it's already in there, just not green. Plenty of other games have a season pass but also update their games for people who didn't purchase it. FFXV never ends. The Witcher 3 had great DLC but updated the game for all as well. Ninteod needs to figure it out. And unlike most other games w/ season passes they also sell amiibo, we've spent $36 on those for this game, Wolf Link and the Guardian. Give people a line. So many people would probably go back to see what they missed if they just made that line free. Then who knows, maybe people, upon going back to look, would buy the season pass and/or more amiibo. It's called marketing.

end rant

Will miss Miiverse, thought it was pretty cool, didn't use it loads but thought it was a great idea.

@rjejr Yeah I agree. And the annoying thing is not only other companies' games do that (not just the ones you mentioned; Horizon Zero Dawn recently added a New Game Plus and a couple other stuff as a free update), but Nintendo has done it as well with games like Mario Kart 8 (giving the 200cc mode to everyone, even those who didnt pay for DLC). I understand the other content like the revamped Master Mode and the Sword Trials being under DLC, but I think the Hero's Path is definitely something that should be given to everyone (sort of like how Nintendo gave 200cc to everyone but left the courses as DLC).

@shadow-wolf That 200cc sounds like a really good example. We bought the DLC season pass the day the first part came out, but I'm not very good so I just try to gold or plat everything on 50cc.

@rjejr Funny enough, I had the game since mid 2015 and have still barely touched the single player mode. I guess online has been so much fun for me (never experienced online Mario Kart before since the MK game I owned previously was Double Dash on GameCube), probably cause playing against real people feels more difficult yet satisfying than playing against computers for me personally. But it's funny how I've barely touched the single-player in Mario Kart and Smash as well.

Miiverse gave the Wii U some unique personality and sense of community that the Switch sorely lacks. Maybe Nintendo feels like it doesn't need that since the Wii U was a flop and the Switch has succeeded so well without it, but there are still plenty of us out there that miss it and would like to see it return.
