Nintendo's social "empathy" network for the Wii U, Miiverse, will come to smartphones and web browsers sometime in April or May, with a 3DS version to follow at a later date.

The producer of Miiverse, Kiyoshi Mizuki said during a talk at the Game Developers Conference that the Miiverse mobile and web browser app should be available by May and will, at first, provide basic Miiverse functionality, like posting comments, drawing doodles, and viewing and engaging with communities.

A 3DS version of Miiverse is also in the works, although a release date was not confirmed. Mizuki said unlike the Wii U, on which all games have Miiverse support, there will be existing games and apps on the 3DS that won't be Miiverse compatible.

Mizuki said the company is currently taking requests from game developers for what they would like to see in the update Miiverse API.

Don't think they ever gave a general release date for this yet. Nice to hear they're open to suggestions from devs as well.

I'll post in your positive news about Nintendo thread *reaches out for a hug*

it will be kinda cool when the 3ds one is released

I really do wonder if a Nintendo store on Android/iOS that sells old GB and GBA games would work if Miiverse can make it to Smartphones.

A lot of emulators I see on people's phones. But I also know quite a few people uncomfortable with those so an offical store might work better than expected.

yes it'll make it 100x better! Imagine how easy it'll be to set up tournys *.*

Good to hear! Lets hope it doesn't disappoint...

Sweet I can check on Miiverse while I'm doing my summer job which won't have interwebs for my Wii U.

I want Miiverse on the 3DS so badly.

Be ready to be bombarded with Messages guys!

I'll be getting it for my smart phone so I can stay connected while at work :)

Miiverse is all web based, it should be easily portable to different platforms.
