• Players will be able to send and receive comments in-game.
• Players will be able to see 'Yeahs' in-game.
• They can follow users, and see who users are following in-game.
• Users will be able to launch games from Miiverse Posts
• Launch buttons on Miiverse posts can contain program arguments, so it will be possible to boot directly to a certain level or menu in a game
• Can work with online datastore for additional functionality
• Mizuki posited the potential application of level editing and sharing via Miiverse;
  envisions a game where users bring the game to life (sounds very LBP)
• User Sub-Communities (like Mario Kart 7's) are coming to Miiverse
• Can be used to organise and hold tournaments
• First game to use them is Wii Fit U
• Nintendo is canvassing developers for anything else they'd like to see in the API

I LOVE THE TOURNAMENT THING!!!!

[magiciandude]

Tournaments? Awesome! Imagine how much better Smash Bros. online will be better now.

[3Dude]

Yes sir, I like it.

This could be the launching point for all of their online enabled games.  Sweet!  I like the fact you bolded that last point.  The fact that they are asking developers what they want from Miiverse should turn up some interesting results indeed.  Now we'll have cross game commenting through miiverse.  I wonder if this extends to at least text based cross game chat.  something that could add VOIP in the future.

Freaking awesome Nintendo. cant wait .

What does it mean you can see 'Yeah's' from in game? Before you couldn't? I thought you could enter Miiverse from in game anyway

[BlueBlur]

Now all we need is video streaming

[TheDoctor_13]

Wow, this is pretty cool. I like launching games, and level editing but those will probably be under used and probably need a downloaded copy.

The a universal tournements application in miiverse sounds sweet. But still no drawing on screenshots, or select a shot? Such simple features...

You won't have to go on Miiverse you will get a notification while your in the game. I think...

I think the best part about this is that they are adapting and changing Miiverse nearly every few months to make it better. I'm going to send in some of my suggestions to them!

I'm thinking this means a popup now when you are in game that lets you know you got a "yeah" or a new comment.  Sounds pretty cool.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the IGN reporter who played the Wii U version of Deus Ex said you are able to draw on the screenshots from within that game.

I`m liking the fact that Nintendo is taking Miiverse into a new level.

These new ideas sound really good and could really increase the interactions between users!

Cool!

[GhostDrive]

That's pretty cool. I really just hope this will encourage people to post things other than "I got 100 yeahs?! Thanks guys!" or "Yeah if u liek dis game".

I never understood those types of posts.

It looks like the Miiverse could become a substitute for the lack of Achievements/Trophies.

Instead of getting a list of achievements of developers, the community can be creative and make their own achievements and use the Miiverse to share.

I think this was part of Nintendo's idea from the beginning, just like many other things they failed to market properly.

Real, came through in a GDC panel.

Most of them actually were confirmed in the Direct in January weren't they?

[tboss]

only thing missing is voice chat lobbies that work between games.
