Miiverse coming to 3DS tomorrow

The 3DS’ network function will undergo maintenance very soon. In fact, by the time you are probably reading this, the Nintendo eShop will be offline. Once the maintenance ends at around 5AM for the UK, or Monday night for the US, an update for the 3DS will go live shortly after.

This update contains two major features. First, it allows you to create a Nintendo Network ID (NNID) similar to that of the Wii U. Second, it will allow you to post to Miiverse communities using a specialised app contained within the system update.

If you have a Wii U, you can register your existing NNID on your 3DS. Be warned that only one NNID can be coupled to a 3DS. If you don’t have a Wii U, you can choose your new moniker on the 3DS itself. The NNID will eventually replace friend codes, with details yet unconfirmed. It is currently unknown if you still have to exchange friend codes or that your NNID will be linked to your friend code. Older games will also still probably rely on friend code interactions when viewing your in-game friend lists.

Miiverse is like Facebook for games, giving you to chance to share drawings and screenshots (for supported games). You can browse people’s timelines and ‘Yeah’ (like) them as you wish. Major games will feature a community in which you can discuss everything related to that game. It is expected that Pokémon X & Y will receive their own community. Even if you are in-game, you can always go to Miiverse by pressing the Home button and clicking on the Miiverse icon.

This updates will also merge your Wii U and 3DS eShop wallet. However, know that this still doesn’t count as a real account system and your purchases are still tied to your console instead of your NNID. This may change in the future however, with this update laying the foundation.

So, once you wake up tomorrow (or if you stay up late), check your 3DS for the new system update! Let’s hope we’ll still see you around here then :).
Note: I’m not responsible for you waking early and the update still not being available. I have no idea of when the update will really hit. It may face a half day delay. Blame Emily Rogers in case that happens.

  1. This will be pretty awesome. Nintendo is really pushing for a global link between their handheld and console community, as well as strengthening each individual community, and they’re doing a great job at it

  2. I’m so glad The Big N is adding something major to the 3Ds. I’ve been waiting for something like this. If it bricks my 3Ds it’s your fault Dae. Mainly for reminding me there’s an update. Lol.

  3. I have a question… My birthday is on wednesday and I’m getting my Zelda edition 3ds xl that my mom ordered for my birthday. It comes with a eshop code for the zelda game. Will I not be able to use the code till the eshop is done with maintenance? And how long will the maintenance last? Thank You!

  4. I think I’ll get a Wii U next year, I mean it’ll come down in price, there’ll be more awesome games and I think that’ll be good, can’t wait for this new function!

    (On a side note, I love battling people now…and especially losing because that’s how I learn…as I’m still learning the basics)

  11. I have to start brainstorming for my PokeJungle article while managing homework and fitting in winter training for Track sprinting. And I have to get at least a couple minutes of gameplay in each day so I don’t go completely insane. And I have to visit PokeJungle each day, this place is my second home!

    I’ll be dead by Christmas at this rate.

  23. Um… I have an ethnical question I need to ask; it’s bugging me. Not trying to be racist… You know how in america we have African-Americans? Well are the African-French if they’re in France or African-Italian if they’re in Italy?

    Reply
    • I’m not sure. THe term african american comes from the fact that they were africans that have stayed in america and not to sound crude, but have bred into the native population, resulting in half african hybrids that live in america. so, if an african person was to go to france or italy, procreate with the native population, then technically, they’d be african-italian and african-french. however, most italians with traces of african in their blood are in cisily, and I’ve heard that haiti’s language comes from a mixture of african, french, and the native language. and it’s not being racist, especially if someone who’s african american answers. hope this helped defensive

  34. Anyone alive? The Miiverse has apparently destroyed everything. So, anyway, has anyone else noticed that refrigerate is useless on amaura? Snow Warning is so much better. Refrigereate only helps if you need a normal status move, which, amaura doesnt have i believe

    3. Actually announce games!

  43. there should be a castform evolution that can transform in even more weather hazards. It shall be called weathfore or weathcast (weather+forecast)
    2″11
    the accurate prediction pokemon
    weathfores/weathcasts are able to tell the weather from ANYWHERE in the world. If too aggravated it may accidentally cause random tornados or hurricanes.

  46. so, anyone wanna battle? I tried my team out against UmbreonLifts on the chat, but i didn’t even have to use my mega. Gamabunta almost too strong

    Reply
  47. So, i looked at my team, and i wondered what i should have on it, and i looked at the amaura thegreatwyvern gave me, and i realized that Refrigereate AAmaura isn’t the best, and if i breed it, the children won’t be as special, so im at a standstill. do i use the amaura, or the wartortle umbreon lifts gave me. PLZ HALP!

    Reply
      • Yggdrasil, regidudeam’s Bulbasaur
        Joy, Jordin’s Chansey
        Skjoldr, TCMets’ Chespin
        Lovely, Thegreatcarbinkles Smoochum
        and either thegreatwyvern’s amarua, aroura, or umbreon lifts Wartortle, cannon. i want pokemon 6 to be my own.

        Reply
          • Okay. But the thing is, the wartortle doesn’t have aura sphere and dragon pulse, so it’s a bit of an issue for me, as those moves would be a big help. could you recommend a moveset for the blastiose, and for the bulbasaur if i decide not to use it as my mega

          • Hmmm. In that case go Ice Beam + Dark Pulse(TM) + water move + Rapid Spin. Ferrothorn is really the only thing you need aura sphere for.

          • Okay thanks. Rapid spin isn’t an egg move, right? and what about the bulba. since it comes from you, i figured you’d be the best person to consult about it

          • Rapid Spin is level up so no worries. For bulba max hp + max def. Synthesis (must), EIther grass move (your preference), sludge bomb + Earthquake. Use him to help switch out more easily without worrying about weaknesses to much.

          • I have a modest Water Pulse, Aura Sphere, Dragon PUlse Aqua jet squirtle. this ones for the pj team, so the other one cant be a part of it

  48. Ive been thinking and this has nothing to do with Pokemon I just feel like I must say this for the future if I ever offend anyone here I’m really sorry and I don’t mean it I need to stop joking so much because I fear I go overboard sometimes just tell me if I do because I dont want to hurt anyone’s feelings or sound mean I feel its important because I want to get along with others and guilt weighs in heavily if I do or say something hurtful.I appreciate honesty even if I feel hurt from it because I need to know if I did something to anyone that you dont like ^.^ thank you for taking the time to read if you did xD

  49. okay, time to ask a question! What’s everyone’s favorite mega, design wise? Mine would have to be Mega Aerodactyl, but Mega Charizard X/Y come in a close second!

      • What I constantly worry though, is if I’ll be able to transfer my Meloetta and Genesect. I created them from Pokégen, a software that allows you to have any Pokémon with any ability, moves, nature, EVs, IVs, and shininess. Yes that sounds bad, but I used it to give myself and my brother those two. I made them as legit as possible, but I don’t know if that’ll be enough to transfer them over.

This community is amazing. I remember joining back in the spring when Dae was the top commenter. Its crazy to see how much this site has grown and how much it will keep growing.
