Miiverse instance of online service
Miiverse was a social network for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, created by Nintendo System Development and Hatena, and powered by the Nintendo Network. Integrated into many games, Miiverse allowed players to interact and share their experiences by way of handwritten messages or drawings, text, screenshots, and sometimes game videos in dedicated communities. It was available via any web browser, and a dedicated app version originally planned for tablets and smartphones. All users who signed up for a Nintendo Network ID were automatically given a Miiverse profile per account, represented by the Mii avatar connected to said Nintendo Network ID.
Miiverse was announced on June 3, 2012, during a pre-E3 2012 Nintendo Direct event; the service initially launched on the Wii U on November 18, 2012, and was later made available for the Nintendo 3DS on December 9, 2013. A web-based portal was opened on April 25, 2013.Miiverse was discontinued on November 8, 2017 at 10:00 PM PST. The service never launched on the Nintendo Switch. However, games such as Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Maker 2 include a community messaging feature that is reminiscent of Miiverse's handwritten message/drawing function.
