| zippy said: A little off topic but I still think both the gamepad and miiverse were conceived around the same time. Nintendo wanted to do a gaming social network and the gamepad is a necessity to make it work, imagine trying to navigate around miiverse with a joypad or Wiimote it would be awful and clunky. Not to mention being unable to create wonderful drawings. A lot of people knock the gamepad but it is an integral part of arguably the Wii Us biggest success.....miiverse |
I hate to say it but I think Miiverse is sorta overrated. The art is fantastic of course, but I'd prefer if there was one channel for just viewing art creations or something (is there?) without all the other garbage.
The actual Miiverse boards themselves are full of inane "I like Mario!" and "Level 3 is super hard guys!" posts (gee thanks for that insighful commentary) or a bunch of players who can't pass the first 10 minutes of Super Metroid and need help. It's mostly crap posts.
I like the Nintendo Land lobby much more actually, that actually feels more like a community to me, walking around and seeing people online from all over the world and what not.
The biggest thing I like about the Wii U tablet is being able to turn on not only the console but my TV too and then switch back and forth between playing and watching something and being able to show friends Youtube videos on the television.
