Miiverse

Miiverse is a social network appearing on the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. It is integrated into software such as WaraWara Plaza (bustling plaza) to bring people together in order to communicate and comment on certain games and software. The network is built similarly to Twitter, as players can "Yeah" (like) and flag comments as well as follow or befriend other users. Originally available only on the Wii U, Miiverse was later released on the Nintendo 3DS as part of a major system update in December 2013. Miiverse is also available on smartphones, PCs, and tablets, allowing players to answer questions and receive tips even when away from home. It is currently accessible on Wii U, the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, and on Nintendo's website.

New Super Mario Bros. U
New Super Mario Bros. U is the first main Mario title to incorporate Miiverse. Miiverse in New Super Mario Bros. U is used to create comments on specific courses that either inform, advise, or comment on the course itself. Players are also able to use Miiverse to create snapshots/replays of their accomplishments or results of Challenge Mode or Boost Rush Mode and post it on community forums.

Nintendo Land
Miiverse in Nintendo Land works similarly to Miiverse in New Super Mario Bros. U, with the ability to take snapshots of the results of attractions and post comments on the plaza to inform, advise, or communicate with other players.

Game & Wario
A minigame similar to the Sketch minigame in Game & Wario can be played with other users on Miiverse in a mode called Miiverse Sketch.

Super Mario 3D World
In addition to being able to post to Miiverse while playing Super Mario 3D World, players can also collect Stamps in the game, which can be used to customize posts with images of characters and items that are found in the game. Players can also see others players' Miiverse posts after completing every course and on the world map.

Mario Kart 8
In Mario Kart 8, players will be able to share replay videos of an entire race, or a thirty second video created by the software showing the highlights of the race. Players will also be able to view and comment on others' videos. This is done within the software through a feature called Mario Kart TV, not within the Miiverse software itself. Additionally, players can use Stamps to customize their posts, just like in Super Mario 3D World.

Usage in Nintendo 3DS games
Miiverse has been released on Nintendo 3DS systems as of December 9, 2013. It will eventually have communities for most games released prior to this date. Initially, there were communities for Mario Party: Island Tour, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, New Super Mario Bros. 2, Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move, and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, as well as a few others. Miiverse is not yet used within any Nintendo 3DS games themselves, unlike most Wii U games.
