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.

          • I’m more into mainstream secular music haha – there is some alternative artists I listen to… I really like sappy dreamy music tbh haha. But those are classic and lovely bands you named.

  3. Happy Hour / Luck Insense / Amulet Coin, Le Wow / jesus the amounts of cash that rolls in. One trainer gave me 60,000+ after battle.

  4. this game mentions 3000 years entirely too much. I’m pretty damn sure Z/Zero whatever it may be called will take place 3,000 years ago.

  6. 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
