MiiVerse is a big step for Nintendo’s plans to unify gamers across a single social platform. Nintendo’s President and CEO Satoru Iwata has claimed that when MiiVerse lands on the 3DS it will indeed be “huge”. More details below. 

“Once the Miiverse hits the 3DS, it will be huge. Just imagine the possibilities of playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf while sharing your experiences on the Miiverse. Now that’s something,” Iwata said in a Nikkei interview translated by Siliconera.

Iwata has noticed that MiiVerse has been sapping away Nintendo talk on Twiiter. Saying that Nintendo talk on Twitter has reduced since MiiVerse launched on the Wii U last year.

“When we first thought of Miiverse, we were told that it would be a bad idea after considering the likes of social networks such as Facebook and Twitter,” he said.

“After doing some more brainstorming, we decided to stick to the idea we wanted to see. The results ended up being something many people enjoy today.”

The social platform has taken off and Iwata feels it is the right step for the company to grow and promote healthy gaming talk between gamers.

“When we first thought of Miiverse, we were told that it would be a bad idea after considering the likes of social networks such as Facebook and Twitter,” he said.

“After doing some more brainstorming, we decided to stick to the idea we wanted to see. The results ended up being something many people enjoy today.”

Iwata is keen on MiiVerse becoming a mainstay in future platforms and feels the experience is truly unique to Nintendo fans and games.

“It was having those thoughts and feelings which eventually led to the creation of the Miiverse. Rather than social networking, we consider it an ‘experience sharing network,’” he said.

Currently exclusive to Wii U, Miiverse is also headed to PC and mobile devices after 3DS.

I think MiiVerse is fantastic and is a true next generation feature. Want to find out if a game is good? Go on Miiverse and get gamers first hand take on it. Its a network for gamers where I don’t have to see peoples food or pictures of cats. MiiVerse is just plain awesome.
