Latest Miiverse update – “Yeah” changes, embed posts, web User Page update
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 4 Comments
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.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U screenshot (6/20/14)
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Screenshots, Wii U | 6 Comments
Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message on Miiverse:
Here’s Donkey Kong’s third standard special attack, Storm Punch!! Thanks to the customization options, each fighter is stocked with 12 different special moves. The number of attacks is pretty appalling.
We’ve made it so that customization options, including special attacks, will be disabled when you’re playing online in With Anyone mode. After all, we have to think about game balance, and it’s crucial for anonymous players to be able to use reliable tactics against one another. When you’re playing in single player, battling with friends online, or playing locally, you’re free to play however you want–with or without customization.
Aonuma wants to let people play Zelda Wii U at next year’s E3
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 3 Comments
Yesterday, we posted a Miiverse message from Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma, who spoke briefly about the upcoming entry in the series for Wii U. Strangely, the original Japanese note included an extra tidbit not included in the English translation.
Aonuma mentioned in his original post that he wants to let other people play Zelda Wii U – such as a demo on the show floor – at E3 2015. With Nintendo targeting a launch next year, that does make sense! It just means we’ll be seeing it later in 2015, which most probably expected.

Oxygene Media slams I’ve Got to Run! dev on Miiverse over review
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 17 Comments
Update: The thread has now been removed, but the evidence sadly remains.
This is about as bizarre as it gets. Oxygene Media, who may now be most well-known for astroturfing on Miiverse, has slammed the developer of I’ve Got to Run! over a review.
Syrenne McNulty reviewed one of Oxygene Media’s latest games, Fit Music for Wii U, as she is both a developer and journalist. Oxygene wasn’t pleased with the verdict, and after learning that McNulty is the creator of I’ve Got to Run!, posted the above message on Miiverse.
Things didn’t end there though. Oxygene continued its posts, and McNulty also stepped in briefly to mention that the company isn’t being professional:
Definitely sad to see something like this. Can’t we all get along?!

Posted on 10 years ago by Demelza(@ReporterDem) in News, Screenshots, Wii U | 3 Comments
Today’s new screenshot of Super Smash Bros. has revealed a brand new stage. The stage is Fire Emblem themed and is shown off by Ike and Marth. Here is what Sakurai had to say about it on Miiverse along with a second screenshot:
We’ve added a familiar setting from the Fire Emblem series, the Coliseum. In the original game, this place is filled with both hope and despair. There is machinery in the ground that activates variable platforms.
