Nintendo has announced that it’s planning a large number of improvements to Miiverse over the coming months. Miiverse producer Kiyoshi Mizuki revealed in his GDC talk that the Miiverse API will be updated in a future version of the Wii U Software Development Kit. This will allow a number of features that will improve interactions in Wii U software. Here’s a summary of the changes.

• Players will be able to send and receive comments in-game.
• Players will be able to see ‘Yeahs’ in-game.
• They can follow users, and see who users are following in-game.
• Users will be able to launch games from Miiverse Posts
• Launch buttons on Miiverse posts can contain program arguments, so it will be possible to boot directly to a certain level or menu in a game
• Can work with online datastore for additional functionality
• Mizuki posited the potential application of level editing and sharing via Miiverse;
  envisions a game where users bring the game to life (sounds very LBP)
• User Sub-Communities (like Mario Kart 7′s) are coming to Miiverse
• Can be used to organise and hold tournaments
• First game to use them is Wii Fit U
• Nintendo is canvassing developers for anything else they’d like to see in the API

this sounds so awesome :D

Wow sounds sweet, any news on when we can put YouTube links and stuff in the posts?

The Youtube-stuff is for Users that are acknowledged from Nintendo. Game-Developers mostly.

As far as we know yes. But i hope this changes in the future as well :(

Nice to see the best feature of the WiiU improved again. Give Nintendo another 1-2 years and Miiverse has the potential to be better than XBL or PSN (depending on how much you like the social- and sharing-features of PS4's PSN of course).

I hope they'll give users detailed configuration control. I don't really want to see notifications for Miiverse pop up mid-game.

Sounding great, if Nintendo have any sense they'll integrate also add some sort of Twitter and Facebook integration too. Perhaps have a button to toggle on and off for each so that your Miiverse posts are also Tweeted and posted on your Facebook thingummybob..?

I can see not allowing willy nilly links to you tube etc. but recording from a game you're playing and posting it on miiverse would be pretty awesome

Good news like this dont get attention on these forums for some reason.
