Bravo, Nintendo, bravo
Miiverse is wonderful in various ways, and since its launch with the Wii U in November 2012 it's even thrown up a meme or two.

If in doubt, shut it down
Yesterday we shared the news that a rather elaborate loophole in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team on 3DS had allowed gamers to post images from the web browser onto its Miiverse community; while some used this feature for comedic effect, others posted mature and explicit images. It's an odd bug in how complex it is to use —...

News "Mystery Travelers" Are Waiting to be Found in Wii Street U
Hints point the way
Wii Street U has perhaps been forgotten a little since its initial arrival as a free download in early 2013, though the fact it was a freebie helped to make it the most downloaded Wii U eShop title ever in some regions — Google really is taking over the world.

News Mii Mascot Outfits Shown Off for Super Smash Bros., as Sakurai-san Teases Meta Knight
It's either a hint or gentle trolling
Meta Knight was a somewhat divisive character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as he was so proficient in aerial combat, and so deadly with very little effort, that he was actually banned from competitive tournaments.
