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.
~Daedardus~ (yes, still alive)
Ok I’m off to try and clear my mind of flappy flapps and lolicon (it’s gross) thanks pipealex 🙁
…….I don’t want to know lol
Vagina flaps and anime porn dayum he’s into weird stuff.
uhh no comment
At least it’s not scat porn or gore porn
I’ve seen enough for today. The innocence has left my 14 year old body.
14? i feel so old now. THe innocence was never there for me. My parents never hid anything from me, so i have the most colorful knowledge and vocabulary.
regi, can I run?
LOL 😀 Alright!
Why torture me lol.
Please can I run?
Go for it xD
I don’t want you to get mad if I do xD
No I’m not mad! I just wanted to battle you to show you something interesting 😀
Why didn’t you run? :O
I’ll stick it out till the end xD I have a hard time running away. Mental Block xD
I respect that! xD
Go TC take it like a man lol your team is all for one and one and one for all ^.^
._. I put too many ones in there
TC you aren’t one of those Rage quitters XD and Regi is awesome ^.^
Night everyone!
NIGHT!!!
Night 🙂
night! 😀
The update worked and Miiverse is now installed! :DD
How does it feel to have it Jordin xD
I don’t know XD I’m so lost!
Lol I’m gonna install it now
Swept again! xD Still no sign of improvement from me. But someday regi, I will knockout a Pokemon.
You were close xD
Robin :'(
Brave Bird would have KOed 🙁
This is why I need Flying Gem.
I noticed something in the way you battle, despite having Shea and Gliscor, you always go offensive. try to not do that with them. Use the support moves!
What do you mean?
Shea vs Caineghis, you were focusing on attacking me at the very first turn. But you should use Will-o-wisp because I might have switched.
I wasn’t sure if you were gonna switch to Leanne. Magic Guard…that’s a great ability xD
Yup, she’s very helpful to me! 😀
Right off the bat, I knew Gliscor was useless xD 5 of your Pokemon were basically immune to anything it could do xD
Look at the bright side, you now know how to counter Caineghis and Gliscor. 😀
I need to train my Chespin…
As do I. How do you plan on training him?
ANYone wanna battle meh? I wanna try out my physical team before i build my PJ team
I’ll nickname Chespin after the 3DS update 🙂
Okay, take your time.
There is now an X and Y community on Miiverse
MiiVerse is fixed and ALIVE!
When it asks you “E-mail Preference” do I answer no for no marketing and advertisements?
I just said yes.
I’m still reading the User Agreement.
…you read that?
No xD
This is so cool! 😀
I’m making an ID.
Mine is the same as my username 🙂
Is the update up? :O How come I haven’t gotten it? Is it because I’m in PST?
Did you go to the e-Shop?
I should do that -__-
Updating! 😀
i AM SO AWESSOME
As awesome as kesus, like i said on your poll. Also, something’s been bugging me. Who’s that in your avatar? It is your own design, or an anime character of some sort?
Ryuko matoi-
From kill la kill
ah. Where have I seen her before? Probably on facebook or something. Thanks, it just kept irking me. Like the avatar change by the way, the wolf didn’t fit you
it didnt.
I know lol, i look better like this xD
People are already drawing Espurr xD
#EspurrMasterRace
I’m going to draw Chespin ^.^
XD fun you should also do mudkip n.n
Upload the drawing when it’s done! #TeamChespin
What’s your username?!
Jordinite 🙂
What’s yours?

Miiverse is just as awesome on 3DS as it is on Wii U 😀
WHY? Miiverse comes out, and this place dies so everyone can download it and use it. I HATE SOCIAL NETWORKING!!! I miss everyone T.T
On a side note, i was exaggerating a bit
https://miiverse.nintendo.net/
It’s an ABAMONATION! FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!
This comment section is used kinda like social networking for pokemon…
But it’s not the same. Pokejungle isn’t mandatory. If Pokejungle changes, i don’t HAVE to come back. The fact that if i want a system update, i have to install that crike is so wrong. doesn’t it take up space? If it was delteable, i’d have no issue with it, but, like the also lame miiplaza, it never goes away, haunting you like a bad ghost on halloween
Join us Jiro. Join… Us…
NEVER!! YOU CAN’T TAKE ME ALIVE OR DEAD!! I AM THE ONE!! THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE LEFT!! YOU WILL ALL FALL, AND I WILL CONQUER YOU ALL!! MIIVERSE IS POISON, AND I REFUSE TO TAKE IT!
Come cuddle Espurr and Chesnaughts with us!
I HAVE POKEMON AMIE FOR THAT!! WHILE YOU FALL FOR THE MAINSTREAM POISON, I SHALL MASUDA METHOD FOR A SHINY ADAMANT GALE WINGS TALONFLAME!!! I WILL NOT BE SUCKED IN!
Linking Network ID…
please wait……
Yay, I got a confirmation e-mail.
Crap I can’t do this until I get home next Monday! I need to link with my Wii U.
Add me! Garrett.clmnt
Reading about Mii Verse first after I just made the ID 🙂 This is all new to me.
Ok, how do I add you lol?
I’m going to make a Chespin post and later going to post a Chespin picture XD
https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADMUKlcJFSq2Q ,.,
Its faster when u use miiverse in your PC
https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADMUKlcJFV4OA SO SICK
WOAH! The people on Miiverse are FANTASTIC artists!
https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAABnUYnZ2rDySw
Ok, my name on Mii Verse is TCMets17. You add others by searching them and Following them??
Idk, it shouldve like in wiiU u add em with their nintendo ID instead a FC
Help please? xD
UPTADING BRO IM GOING TO HELP YA
Well I guess I’m off. Can’t make an account until I get back home on Monday. Night Everyone!
Bye Regi!! Resist the Miiverse!
I’m already enslaved though xD I have a Wii U
I don’t. Is it any good? The only game that interests me is Darksiders2
I’ve loved my Wii U, but I’m in CA. My Wii U is in MA, so I haven’t gotten a chance to play it during the summer. I’m gonna get Windwaker for Christmas. I’ve loved that game. Then Smash, Zelda, SMT X FE for sure.
Feel bad for you. I’ve never travelled that far in my life. I live in NJ, and i went to NY once, philly once when i was too young to remember, and my grandma got lost on her way somewhere, and we somehow ended up in maryland.
I saw your insane rant down below. XD
It’s not insane. Miiverse shouldn’t be on the 3ds, and it shouldn’t be installed with the update. it should be deleteable, because i would delete that faster than excess biddof
Why are you busting your chops over Miiverse? It’s a great innovation on Nintendo’s part.
I’m not a social networking person. I’m not into electronics at all really, so the innovation is lost on me honestly. I really don’t like interenet based things like miiverse and miiplaza. i never use the,, and all they do is take up space that i can never get back.
I drew gothita! Wanna see?
Sure!
Sorry. Only available for viewing on MiiVerse.
I see. That sucks. It’s okay though.
Goodnight regi!
Goodnight 🙂
Night Regi 🙂
wonder how i link my WiiU to my 3DS
It should automatically connect.
anyone here has a poliwirl in his friend safari
if yes here is my fc: 4811-6974-9040
name: Hamadi
Phew just got done thinking of a password for the miiverse xD
I have the same password fo everything
Probably not a good idea xD What’s an even worse idea is saying that you have the same password for everything XD
Too lazy to think for a new passwword
I thought of a pw I never used that’s why it took me like 10 minutes lol xD
Thanks for sharing that on the Interwebs.
Who knew
I knew before you said it.
Its a pokemon too
I still have to link mine…ID is ValiantPixel everyone.
Pipealexx mine
mewmews22 :3
Oh wow, I’m probably not gonna post anything, but scrolling through the X/Y community has some amazing art xD Jordin was right!
It really does! I find it easier to draw on this than paper oddly lol.
I find it much harder to draw on the 3DS xD
I’m bad at drawing either way. XD
I agree. The hinge is in the way -_-
I see some exciting opportunities with this in the future!
Drawing a Chespin getting caught 😀
Now I can see your post later through the activity feed, right? I wanna see your drawing 😀
Right now going back to X/Y to nickname the Chespin for Jiro 🙂
The awesome thing is that you could be playing Y while on Miiverse 😀
It just suspends the game while you visit 😀
… It does? It doesn’t close it?
Nope, just temporarily suspends game play.
Interesting. Do you like Miiverse? I just wanted to know, since it’s taking over Pokejungle more than possible LOZ news does
I don’t really have an opinion on it yet. I still don’t know much about it, today was my first time using it since I don’t have a Wii U yet.
I see. Do you plan on getting a Wii U? Because I’m recieving a chunk of change from somewhere, and i was wondering if a Wii U would be worth it
I’m getting it for Christmas 🙂
Awesome! Congrats on the Wii U. I take it that your getting WindWaker like everyone else here?
Nope, Mario 😛 Also need it for the eventual Smash Bros 😀
What do you want Chespin’s nickname to be?
Mario is much better. And nickname him Skjoldr please
THANKS SO MUCH TC!!
No problem 🙂
Oh, you asked how I trained Chespin before. Sorry, was busy learning Mii Verse xD
252 HP
252 Defense
4 Speed.
Speed? Impish natured, I’d attcually go for sp.def.
Gonna enhance the strength rather than bring up its weakness. Chesnaught is an absolute physical wall 🙂 Got other team members to support it specially speaking 😀
And the last 4 really don’t matter, it’s only 1 stat point 😛
True
Have you seen the Greninja painting? *O*
Nope, I went back to X/Y xD
