Wow, Nintendo needs to stop half ***ing their online and get with the program!

LOL_WUT3814d ago

Not everything runs smoothly at launch give it some time. ;)

admiralvic3814d ago

Yes, but they also don't have plans to implement this stuff.

Neonridr3814d ago

@admiralvic - you have a quote from Nintendo to back up that statement?

online features are usually always lacking from the get go.

admiralvic3814d ago

@ Neonridr

Read the article... it has a quote from Nintendo stating that.

bitboi3814d ago (Edited 3814d ago )

You do realize features were prob' cut because of the pedophile incident that happened in japan with swapnote. Which is why nintendo stopped the ability to send messages,photos, etc with swapnote.

Misaka_x_Touma3814d ago

do you have a 3DS if not and you are not planning to get one why does it matter to you

admiralvic3814d ago

I have a Pikachu 3DS XL and a Wii U...

Misaka_x_Touma3814d ago (Edited 3814d ago )

and I hope you realize the swapnote incident is mostly the reason why it won't have messaging and sending friend requests. Miiverse is just gonna be strictly about the games.

Also it posible you can send message and friends request in the future on Wii U since the accounts will unified throughout 2014.

Does this mean I won't be solicited for sex from a Korean?

If so, I'm out.

@ admiralvic
Says who? Have they said they wouldn't do so down the line? That it was a non-possibility?

admiralvic3814d ago

If you had bothered to read the article, you would see that the article itself shows that a Nintendo employee stated they don't have plans to implement the other features.

Misaka_x_Touma3814d ago

having no plans doesn't mean it won't ever happen.

Masterman2803813d ago

Should be there from the start. I'm really losing my patience with Nintendo.

wonderfulmonkeyman3813d ago

No current plans doesn't mean the same thing as "never gonna happen".
Plans change.

Masterman2803813d ago

That's literally makes no sense... People will just make forums for Miiverse 3DS and pervs can just be on there. I don't need a babysitter Shitendo...

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Online is the New Miiverse

With its new ways of both creating and sharing user-made content, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has become the unexpected successor to Nintendo’s beautiful disaster of a social media experiment Miiverse.

franwex1828d ago

Miiverse was insanity, and it was hilarious. It had a super strange community, there’s a bunch of YouTube videos about it.
I have smash ultimate, but haven’t checked out the new update. I’ll for sure take a look.

Snookies121828d ago (Edited 1828d ago )

I'm interested to check it out as well. Haven't played Smash in a while now... I think it was my issues with having multiple people play at once. The controller drifting and input lag was terrible. Not sure if they fixed that yet, but it was a pain to play when I had 3-4 friends on at the same time.

Gemmol1827d ago

Send your switch in not everyone have that issue, only one that listed that others experience is drifting issue but input lag and playing with 4 people do not have any issues

A Miiverse Eulogy: So Long to the First True Social Video Game Platform

The Miiverse gave myself, and so many others, a platform unlike any console had ever seen before. For once, our reactions to games, both about them generally and in the moment-to-moment, were given life in the games themselves. The Miiverse's concept was novel, fresh, new. It felt like the first true social video game platform. And it's a shame that it was for a console that hardly anyone actually played.
