I still don't know why Nintendo would try to delete the Miiverse from existence. Was it really that bad of a place? How much did it affect to Nintendo's image?

I'm hoping there's a good replacement on the Switch.

I'm also hoping the WiiU gamepad is made backwards compatible with the Switch. I love my gamepad.

posting in miiverse itself was ok, but despite all the small updates it was kinda clunky.  The way it functioned inside the games themselves was what i thought was really neat.  People leaving tips and clues on how to get through tough areas in stages etc.  That and when devs would pop in and post was neat because they were addressing a specific target audience...not just tossing something up on twitter.  Kinda made it "special"?

Miiverse was one of the few things the WiiU got right.

I don't think Miiverse is coming back. Let's hope the Switch will have something similar to it!

No. They moderated me too hard. Once for making fun of Andrea on The Walking Dead right after THEY MADE FUN OF ANDREA ON THE WALKING DEAD. I said "You're not a victim,. You're a butt kicker. An annoying butt kicker". Next thing I know, I'm modded for bullying a fictional character.

Later on, I posted a pic from Pikmin that said "The End". I commented "Great game. I didn't want it to end." I got a warning for spoilers and my post was removed.

Fuck those guys. I hope they all lose their jobs and have to sell themselves on the street to buy meth for their kids.

Nintendo wants to tie themselves to established social media now in order to move closer to the smartphone market. It also reduces their overhead.

Never understood it. Where do I sign to get StreetPass kept in?

Nah, it was nice to an extent for the kids to post pics, but that's just about it. If you ever tried to have discussion of a game, you'd just get attacked by fanboys - it was worse than gaming forums. But a nice place for kids to post pics.

Excactly.
