You can’t make new posts through Miiverse’s web interface, can grab screenshots
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Miiverse launched for the PC (and some mobile devices) today. It does offer a number of functions made available through Wii U, but there are some drawbacks.
You can make posts through Miiverse’s newly-launched browser interface. The thing is, you can’t actually create new ones. It’s only possible to make comments by replying to others.
On the bright side, Miiverse now allows you to view and grab screenshots posted in communities and save them to your PC – a convenient function.
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said during a financial results briefing today that Miiverse is in beta for PC and mobile devices. Over time, we’ll likely see additional features added to the interface.

Iwata on Nintendo Direct’s strong success on the eShop
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
If you’re reading this, chances are you’re an avid Nintendo fan – or a gaming fan, at the very least. That likely means you try watching the Nintendo Direct presentations live. Or perhaps you view them on YouTube a few hours later.
Not everyone operates this way. In fact, Satoru Iwata revealed during today’s investors meeting that more and more consumers are viewing the Nintendo Direct broadcasts through the eShop.
Iwata noted, “It is no exaggeration to say that the most preferred viewing option has now become the Nintendo eShop, and it is not uncommon to find that approximately 60 to 70 percent of total views come from the Nintendo eShop.” Iwata additionally stated that with recent shows, “it became common to see total views for a single video reach five hundred to six hundred thousand in a matter of about 10 days on the Nintendo eShop while they did not show apparent growth on YouTube”.
