A couple of months ago, Nintendo had made the announcement that it would be updating Miiverse with a new look and brand new features to make it feel more sociable and really have a focus on user-created content across 3DS and Wii U. We saw new additions such as the ability to create Play Journals, the ability to create little notes and screenshots based on your experiences and talk a bit about them, Screenshot Albums, a great way to sort and organize photos you’ve taken in games you post to Miiverse, and tons more. The website got some added features also, but it looked fairly the same. Today, suddenly, Miiverse gets a huge overhaul, and it’s gorgeous.
Head on over to Miiverse on the web to check out the brand new layout for yourself!
What do you think about the brand new look? Is it to your liking? Let us know in the comments below!
Update: Character video added below.
Nintendo’s upcoming collaboration with ATLUS brings the awesome Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei crossover we’ve all been waiting for. As we get closer to the Japanese release, we’ll be seeing more and more of the game, and Nintendo has just released a brand new trailer showing off a bit of the story for the upcoming title. The trailer also features its “debut single” which will ostensibly be released sometime in the future to promote the game even further. Check out the brand new trailer below!
The Animal Crossing amiibo cards work with the recently-released Happy Home Designer, and some can even be scanned in with Super Mario Maker. Also, they’ll be compatible with Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival. That won’t be the end of their use apparently.
In an info card included with Happy Home Designer, Nintendo says that additional compatible games will be announced in the future. We’re not sure what’s planned, but it’s always nice to see amiibo extended to more titles.
Oh, and in case you needed a reminder, Nintendo reconfirms that a total of four Animal Crossing amiibo card series are planned. Each series is comprised of 100 cards.
Yesterday, Pocky & Rocky with Becky was confirmed as one of this week’s European Wii U Virtual Console titles. In North America, the game should also be launching on Thursday. Natsume told one fan on Twitter today:
@SeafoamGaming Yes 🙂

from Amazon, and it will be shipped and sold by the retailer itself.
