Miiverse

Splatoon makes use of Miiverse in some interesting ways. For one thing, your character can appear in other players’ Plazas. Those who tried out Splatoon Global Testfire this weekend also noticed that Splatoon-related Miiverse art was showing up on billboards (and apparently some walls as well). It’s something that was hinted at before, but we now have a complete confirmation of the functionality.

If you’re not interested in seeing other players’ art/posts, it seems as though there will be an option to disable this. You’ll be able to either enable or disable “Miiverse Tags”, which show up as in-game graffiti.

Thanks to Austin for the tip.

Yesterday, Collavier announced that screenshot sharing functionality will be returning to Comic Workshop through an upcoming patch. The update makes it possible to post images to Miiverse.

Collavier has now sent out a comprehensive follow-up, revealing that adding screenshots to Miiverse was never initially planned to be available. The company also talked about what’s changed to allow for the feature.

You can find Collavier’s full comments below.

Who am I?

My name is Jeremy and I’m taking care of international relations for Collavier on top of being a programmer. The same Jeremy you can see on Miiverse!

What happened with the community?

Firstly, you should know that posting screenshots to Miiverse for Comic Workshop never was planned to be available. The few days of authorized screenshot posting at the software’s release were a mistake.

With the Workshop Gallery (dedicated website for Comic & Painting Workshop) being quite popular in Japan, we’d hope western users would use it as well.

It’s no longer possible to share screenshots from Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures over on the game’s Miiverse community. As of yesterday, the functionality has been disabled. Some players aren’t happy with the move, but there’s not much that can be done at this point!

Another “Miiting” just wrapped up on Miiverse a short while ago. In the latest discussion, Nintendo’s MariChan chatted with the Happy Mask Salesman from Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D. The Happy Mask Salesman doesn’t actually exist of course (except in the game… and in our hearts!), but the interview nonetheless holds some interesting nuggets.

We’re posting the “Miiting” in full below. It’s rather lengthy!

Nintendo published a listing of the most popular searches on Miiverse for this year, as of November 2014. Pokemon topped the list, followed by Mario and Animal Crossing.

You’ll find the full top ten above. Keep in mind that these are based on worldwide searches – not just North America.

We stopped posting Masahiro Sakurai’s Smash Bros. “Pic of the Day” from Miiverse when the Wii U title launched in Europe. However, Sakurai continued for just a little while longer.

Now that Smash Wii U is out in its final major region – Japan – posts have now officially come to a close. In honor of that, we’ll share Sakurai’s last message.
