It's just like that time when Otacon made Metal Gear Rex and then foundbout it was being used for evil. It's exactly like that.

Seriously that nobody saw this coming? I thought it was pretty clear from the initial reports.

The right choice, now we need dat moderated Miiverse goodness as an replacement.

People video chat on Wii U with strangers, though. And, while it doesn't have photos, the Miiverse has private messages where people can potentially exchange private information. I think that the potential for this bad behavior exists on the Wii U and probably the 3DS when Miiverse arrives, too.

I checked it out, they actually only stopped being able to spot pass. You can still use it as an art program for personal use.

You can't send stuff through the internet, but you can still do it locally 3ds to 3ds if you are friends with the person. I just sent my gf a drawing the other day when she came over.

There is a difference, children use 3DS in their rooms, and wii U in the living room (basically, of course, it's just a typical situation and there are exceptions everywhere)

Yeah, but they're bringing Miiverse to the 3DS.....or at least they were.

That may potentially bring unnecessary backlash on Nintendo. I hope they put some more security.
