Like it or not, the Miiverse has now undergone significant changes. Highlighted are:
- Screen Shot Album – A private album that can only be viewed by the player and can only hold up to 100 screen shots from a variety of games and can be sorted such. The relatively low number of space is a bit worrying. Does that mean any screenshot we upload to a Miiverse post will be deleted if we run out of space in our album or is that a seperate thing altogether…
- Play Journal – “A place for players to record their game experiences by writing journal entries about games as they play them. Creating a journal entry is as easy as opening Miiverse while playing a compatible game, and each entry will include a screen shot that shows exactly what was happening in the game when the player pressed the HOME button. The new Play Journal feature replaces the ability for users to post directly to their own activity feeds.” I’ve left most of this description as it form the press statement as I’m not too clear on whether again pictures will start getting deleted after 100 shots, or that you can’t take any more, etc etc…
- New Look – In the main community for each Wii U and Nintendo 3DS game, posts will be categorized into three sections:
- Play Journal Entries – Screenshot journal entries fall in here. Again with the limitations, I hope it won’t be too restrictive on how much one can post here.
- Drawings – For all your oekaki purposes… The community section will feature post in order of popularity I gather.
- Discussions – Questions? Just wanna talk about a game? Slap a tag on it and put it out for all those in the community to see.
If you haven’t already, give it a check on your 3DS/WiiU or over at their browser site here and see what you think of it and all. I’d need more time to play around with it to fully grasp the changes and their consequences.
Oh, also if you’re wondering what the changes actually look like, here’s a peek if you haven’t seen already:
