At first, Miiverse was only launched on the Wii U; on it was launched on the Nintendo 3DS too. There was also a browser version for PC and mobile systems. Miiverse functioned with communities created by Nintendo, where users could join them and post ideas and/or screenshots, comment on posts, give "Yeah!"s to posts (the equivalent of likes and upvotes), as well as follow other users and add friends. A Nintendo Network ID was required to access Miiverse.
In January of 2017, specifically in the Nintendo Switch major presentation, Nintendo stated that the new console wouldn't use Miiverse; instead, it would use a paid online service called Nintendo Switch Online. On , Nintendo announced that Miiverse would close on November 7 at 06:00 AM UTC, becoming inaccessible on any system. Interestingly, Nintendo allowed users to receive a downloadable archive of their Miiverse posts.
