It’s that time as Nintendo has officially ended Miiverse’s services on 3DS & Wii U. As of now if you try to connect to Miiverse, you will get a server error saying that the service has ended.
The homepage for the official Miiverse website shows this image below basically saying the same thing about the end of Miiverse and also information about how your downloadable post history will be sent to your email if you sent a request.
As of right now, Nintendo has no plans for a new social media service on the Switch to replace Miiverse but these last 5 years of Miiverse were something special. Thank you Miiverse and goodbye.

Grezzo hiring to help make a “legend”, seeking staff with Unreal Engine and Unity experience
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 82 Comments
A few years ago, Grezzo put out a hiring notice, and asked potential new employees: “Would you like to make a ‘legend’ with us?” Something similar recently cropped up on the company’s website (except now with a “2” tucked on the end to signify that this is different from last time).
Grezzo is looking to bring in new staff who have experience with HD development. This is specifically mentioned on a listing for a programmer position. Grezzo would also like to hire those who have worked with the likes of Unreal Engine and Unity.
Grezzo handled the 3DS versions of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask. Earlier this year, Nintendo published the studio’s original project Ever Oasis.
