Miiverse was a great feature and one of Wii U's biggest assets. This is a case where going with the mainstream (Facebook, Twitter) isn't always the best way to go. Nintendo had it right the first time in this case. No one I interact with on Facebook is interested in seeing screenshots of my video games, and likewise, I don't go on Facebook or Twitter to look for that because even my friends who do play video games don't post about it on social media either. Miiverse was solely for video games, and so you knew everyone posting was there for gaming as well. Nintendo might have felt closed off from mainstream social media, but shutting down Miiverse is going to have the opposite effect of what they intended I think. Speaking for myself, I went from posting screenshots of what I was playing several times a week to not posting at all because that's not what I use social media for.

On a side note, I thought MiiTV was discontinued a long time ago?
