A video game based on The Legend of Korra TV show is in the works, Activision has revealed.

The console release is being handled by PlatinumGames, though this version will not be available on Nintendo platforms (read about it here). Instead, Activision and developer Webfoot Technologies are creating a separate title for 3DS.

On Nintendo’s portable, The Legend of Korra is a turn-based strategy title that puts the “focus on tactically maneuvering Korra and her allies on the battlefield.”

The Legend of Korra video game launches this year.

Another update was applied to Miiverse today, which brings about a few changes/additions.

First, the amount of Yeahs have been reduced in the activity feed. You’ll also now see the full post for each Yeah as opposed to just a few words. Also for “Yeahs”, you can prevent them from appearing in the activity feed by applying an option in the Miiverse Settings.

Miiverse now allows users to embed posts as well. Click on “Embed this post” on the web version of Miiverse, and you’ll then be presented with HTML code to add it to a web page.

Last but not least, the web version’s User Page has been updated so that it matches the Wii U and 3DS versions, and includes your favorite handwritten post.

You can find the official update notes from Miiverse’s Marty below.
