I'm really shocked by the amount of people referring to Miiverse as "useless" or "pointless". I find Miiverse incredibly useful. It's an easy way to find help through a particular part of a game. The artwork posted is amazing, and you can see how much creativity is fostered on the Wii U, which makes me wonder about the people who don't appreciate that creativity in/being shared by others. I find using the Gamepad for interaction a million times better than scrolling across a virtual keyboard with a directional pad to click one letter at a time, but maybe that's just me. Personally, I hated typing people messages on the XBox 360 (I barely used the headset that came with the system, to me it was about as annoying as talking to people through a walkie-talkie). I've always argued that posting your own highlights in Miiverse voids any need for achievement list where Microsoft/Sony gives you a virtual "pat on the back" for clearly the first stage of a game or killing 100 enemies, but I guess some people need that more than others. My Miiverse profile contains all the achievements I think are worth sharing, so I don't need EA telling me that I haven't gotten 100% enjoyment out of my game because I haven't yet scored 100 points 50 rebounds and 50 assists in a single game with Lebron James yet. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I think Miiverse is one of Wii U's best features.
