I Miss The Miiverse So Much… 

i like the miiverse guy who obsesses over water graphics in videogames, i remember him being particularly happy with bayonetta 2's water

4:42 I had no idea this is where the “you should draw x giving birth” came from

Miiverse Cringe was peak SOG

Even if it was barely moderated, it was still a fun social media platform. 7 year old me sure loved it

Miiverse was an insane experience back when it was still up and running, I’d love to see it come back for the NS2

Miiverse was just facebook for kids And i loved it

I wish squids were real -Domohead, a miiverse legend

I was a Miiverse Artist.

Playing Wii sports was the Peak of life

Miiverse was such a treasure, and it's a shame it's gone now. I used to share my favorite Wii U and 3DS moments on there!

The MiiVerse, NintendoDS and PSP. God do I feel old.

nostalgia hits different with Muta

Miiverse culture was ahead of its time

Remember before Miiverse? Flipnote Hetena

The "nice water" guy and the "why can't Metroid crawl" guy from Miiverse still live rent free in my head (BTW, fun fact, the "why can't Metroid crawl" guy did eventually go on to beat Super Metroid, which is rad)

The best Miiverse post I ever saw read "Drake is the best raper of all time" and I'm still waiting to see how that 1 Grammer error ages. So far it's not aging well.

"I'm a straight male but damn is luigi hot"

Like honestly Nintendo never needed Twitter EVER! They had their own platform up and ready to go! Even with cringe they should have never gotten rid of it.

My god I remember seeing a Wario with black face with text saying "Wa Nig" when playing smash bros on the mii verse level all those years ago. So peak

Miiverse was actually so cozy. I used to get lost in it after a nice little splatoon session.

Still less toxic than Twitter.

The Wii truly was ahead of its time with these kinds of features and yet I was so young that I just couldn’t get into it so anyone else who was older then me really lucked out with it

Miiverse was seriously the wildest social media circus ever, if you can even label it that way. I remember sneaking onto it with my 3DS late at night while my parents snoozed, just spewing the most cringetastic nonsense to total randos 😂 Oh, and by the way, did you hear? There was this legend called Gio, the top dog of Miiverse, who turned out to be... wait for it... a PDF file! 0-0

It wouldn’t be the same today because people would try too hard. What made it a gem was it was 90% kids just fucking around

I love the Miiverse, it was so unhinged at times and pure chaos. It was great. Hands down the best Social media i've used, no joke.

There were some good memes that kept me alive during that era in the miniverse

Don't we all muta We all also miss the wave and beach sounds when there is no disc on the Ps2

when miiverse shut down a few years ago i remember everyone breaking tos as the site began to shut down

You are making me want to find those "That's on Miiverse" videos

Your miiverse and My Immortal reading videos were some of the first I ever watched, crazy how time flies

I was never a big social media guy, but I got INTO miiverse. It was something Xbox or PlayStation didn’t have, and it was just fun. No ethots or rage threads, no one knew what anyone looked like or where they were from, just posts about Nintendo Wii U and 3ds games. I loved turning on my Wii U and seeing all the miiverse icons for new games just pop up with cool drawings people made on the gamepad. And it really fixed nintendos weird segmented approach to online play. If you enjoyed playing with someone, you could add them easily on miiverse, communicate with them, meet up later, etc. When that shit got shut down, Nintendo online just felt….cold.

I loved Miiverse. I feel like Nintendo saw the Wii U’s failure and just tried to do the opposite of what they did when it came to the switch but they went too far in some areas. I added a friend on switch when he had to move as my only point of contact and they don’t even let you message friends. It’s actually crazy that they charge for online now for a worse version of what the Wii U had.

The fact that it took Elon hiding the likes for Miiverse to be brought up again...

The miiverse stage in smash 4 had such an amazing feature where after a match, you could make a post and it would appear in the background, but it would only appear to other players who choose the same character as you. I would spend HOURS drawing fanart of every single smash character, little 12 year old me thought it was the coolest thing ever!

Nintendo really created something unique there. I really appreciate the enthusiasm for preserving digital history. It truly was one of the greatest social media networks for gamers.

I remember actively going around the Majora's Mask 3D boards, seeking out anyone that needs help with the game by answering questions, etc. Was probably the most fun I actually had with any social media platform.

I got banned from miiverse after posting a drawing out of frustration at a level I did not like in Super Luigi U. all I did was draw a steaming pile of shit and an arrow pointing to it labeling it "This Level"

i dread the day my RP sessions, and LinkxGanondorf yaoi drawings are found on miiverse in the RU-vid and Year of Luigi categories. both were filled with degens, and i was part of the problem lol

Touhou community made some custom Yeah! as well

Mii too

was thinking about your Miiverse videos yesterday, i admit i still watch them from time to time because it was peak lmfao

Miiverse meant the world to me as a kid. The way it was built into the Wii U's user interface was genius and made the console feel so alive, and the ubiquitous place it had within Nintendo's games was just truly wonderful, magical and heartwarming. I remember how it occupied my time, something I would use just as much as I would play the games on the Wii U, and I'd access the application everyday I returned from school to talk to friends or see the latest posts. On that note, the user interface had a life of its own, from the music to the charm to the aesthetics, the Wii U, at least to me, felt like Nintendo's proudest work, their magnum opus, which makes it even more devastating it wasn't successful. To me and many other Nintendo fans, however, it absolutely was a success. I have never felt more connected to a community through a game's console before - truly incredible and ahead of its time in retrospect. Nintendo was always ahead of the game and it is such a shame the Wii U didn't get the appreciation it utterly deserved. Thank you for covering the gem that was Miiverse, Muta, it really is a special part of Nintendo's legacy and the charm and sense of community that arose from it and the Wii/Wii U era UI is noticeably and depressingly absent in modern Nintendo, particularly on the Switch. It goes without saying I miss this beautiful and warm era.

I remember there was this one user called "the Undertaker" who stylized himself as the character from wrestling canon he was known for his almost fetishized begging for king K rool to be in smash bros for the 3ds

Man, I miss when Nintendo actually knew what the internet was. Maybe they'll rediscover it someday.

I miss booting up my Wii U and seeing a bunch of art and memes on the homepage.

I miss the WiiU (I am delusional)

The Super Luigi U community was unhinged 💚

Makes me feel old... I'm not even 18 yet

Me seeing you tweet this put a smile on my face. Though I never knew the many roleplaying and interesting things people where saying on there as I was literally a 14 year old kid back then.

Imagine how awesome miiverse would be on switch

Only true Miiverse users will remember 'The Bard' 😂

Bad miiverse posts is still a thing. 😂

Mutas old miiverse videos with the boys hold a special place in my heart

You should find ancient AOL chat logs. There used to be a warning when UK members went into USA rooms, Members from the US can be snowflakes so play be nice to them. Not the exact wording but did warn that US members will have a fit if you swear. So funny.

In some sections the mods/admins went crazy, but I loved the ability for pseudo-screenshots on a handheld that doesn't normally have a screenshot function.

i want to join the pretendo miiverse when i can so i can see what it’s like

Homebrew does what Nintendon't wanna do anymore

Man this makes me miss flipnote hatena on the DSi

4:12 Holy crap! I saw that exact same drawing in Splatoon 3 recently! Since Nintendo shutdown posting to Twitter/X recently, they are hosting the posts on their servers and somehow this old gem showed up. Wild!

Yeah I i miss the Miiverse too. I remember back when the Wii U was new, I had a work buddy that would make some really amazing drawings/digital paintings as part of the MV art community. He went by Blu42, and my favorite was probably the one he did in a Japanese theme with a Samurai Luigi squaring up to a dragon bowser for the end of the year of Luigi. So good. Really miss those times and talking with him about creative things and Nintendo.

Edit: i wasn't far into the video so i sound like a smartass now😭 There's an archiverse that has the majority of Miiverse posts. You can see all the weird shit before it shut down.

Wii all miss it

I like how you're visiting your old stuff lately, I used to watch you back in the day and it brings back memories.

I'm still mad that Nintendo killed SwapNote.

It's a disgrace how Nintendo went lazy with the lack of feature packed on the Switch while the 3DS/Wii U had feature packed part of the consoles like Miiverse or themes for 3ds!

Bruh I’ve been playing Nintendo GameCube games and then I got this in my notification! I was playing pikmin if you’re wondering?

Really enjoy your videos on retro game topics and tech

it was a meme factory purely unintentionally

I always wondered what would happen if there was an apocalypse and the only thing that survived of humanity was the Miis.

Remember when Masahiro Sakurai shared screenshots of Super Smash Bros. 4's development days on Miiverse? As a way to show changes from Brawl? That was great. Nowadays he just uses Twitter, but it doesn't hit the same.

Miiverse had something that almost no other console had, That being a very dedicated community of young users with very limited fear of creeps and stuff. It was such a peak moment in history

The mii verse actually got revived through pretendo you just need to jailbreak your 3ds and download pretendo to get it back.

Its insane how many pages on the internet have just been lost to time. More than half of my old bookmarks are gone.

I still have my 3DS😂

I got a lot of screenshots in splatoon 3 of unhinged drawings and things people say. Its just about as wild as miverse itself.

I actually loved the MiiChat and MiiVerse

As one of the few people who owned a Wii U...Miiverse was the wild west and it was glorious.

I also miss Miiverse since there was a lot of amazing art and hilarious posts.

I went to a recycle store in my area and there was a box with a paper ontop of it saying free as is, and it was full with 3 Nintendo Wii's in it with all the cords, 3 remote and nunchucks it & 6 wii games in it. Such a score

Did you guys remember the Smashers? They were the most rebellious Miiverse users and even created their own wiki before it was taken down (the Le Miiverse wiki). They frequently battled with anime fans and Zelda fans. Good old days.

man now you got me remembering how I'd sit with my 3DS in the middle of the night and just draw random shit on the Miiverse lol

I loved Miiverse

I miss bringing my Original Nintendo DS to a hotspot, and playing people around the word with , Mario Kart DS and Metroid. Or playing 4 player games, at park, car, or house with only one cartridge.

If only the rest of their online stuff didn't suck... No system level voice chat, still using friend codes, no communication functionality whatsoever (not even basic messaging), no party system, no lobbies, no achievements/trophies, missing apps that have been standard for over a decade (Netflix/Prime/etc.).... You don't even see people's names in games & have no way to connect with them/add them as friends/ invite to new games, etc. You just have to know them irl, get their friend code, and invite through the games themselves (if they even allow that).

+Yeah!

BRING IT BACK FOR SWITCH 2 BABY!

I miss THIS! This is the most Muta has made me laugh in a long time. More content like this and more dank web browsing would be awesome!

Miiverse super cool. I remember just staring at the home page of my Wii U and watching all the little pictures pop up from Miiverse people and being in awe.

I wish squids were real 😔

YES!! The Wii, Wii U, Nintendo (3)DS had the best OS, Miiverse was awsome to talk about games, and make art and messages. Not even Xbox and Sony had such awesome fun OS. Also the Mii's walking to games, seeing your friends Mii's. Mii's in games. Ugh.. And then they made the Switch UI so boring... Switch 2 needs that Nintendo spark back!

I enjoyed the livestream last night. It was my first I’ve ever watched.

13 year old me had a whale of a time on Miiverse. I still go back to Archiverse to laugh and cringe at my old posts and to remember why 13 year olds should not be allowed to post online lol

Miiverse W

Me too

Yeah! (Just finished watching your entire Exploring Miiverse series and now this video!)

I can't wait for the NEX part of Pretendo to be done!!

Me too buddy. Me too 😢

Some of the stuff Muta reads isn't even funny but him reading it excitingly and then laughing makes me laugh

miiverse was barely used in my experience, yet somehow everyone ‘misses this so much’

I remember getting temp banned in Miiverse for calling someone trash at smash. Bear in mind, you could use nicknames in smash back then to call people names and whatnot. Good times.
