Was a neat feature on Wii U and 3DS. Why doesnt Nintendo just bring it to Switch?

Since from a marketing standpoint, its better to have people share there screenshots and experiences through twitter/facebook rather than Miiverse, a closed network of only Nintendo owning people. I wish Miiverse could continue but I think this is what killed it, its a closed network. A lot of benifits to limiting people share on social media. I wish Miiverse could continue, it was such a great tool. It offers so much more to the consumer that social media can never replace.

But there's nothing like the Miiverse connectivity for Facebook or Twitter. Also, no one is using Miiverse to replace Facebook or Twitter posting. All that will happen is less communication between players, and people who use third party communication tools (now that the feature is being eliminated) are only going to do it in private groups anyway. Those that are interested in posting public things will do it anyway, Miiverse or not.

It is likely a price and development thing. Nintendo had this platform that should have been implemented into every game in some way. This is extra dev work for what is otherwise a bit of a gimmick - it's kind of like achievements.
