We started the Miiverse service in 2012 along with the launch of the Wii U system because we wanted to provide a space where users could share their feelings about games with each other. Thanks to users' support throughout the years, we think we were able to achieve that goal. We decided to end the service at this time because, among other reasons, many users are shifting to social networking services.

The Miiverse service ended on November 7, 2017 at 10 PM Pacific Time.

Once the Miiverse service ended, users were no longer able to access Miiverse on Wii U, any of the Nintendo 3DS family of systems or an Internet browser on PCs and smart devices.

Yes. The Miiverse icon will continue to appear, but an error message will be displayed when it is selected.

Super Mario Maker (Wii U): Users can still share levels, but will no longer be able to comment on them.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars (Wii U, Nintendo 3DS): While users can still play Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars and complete all 88 levels in the main game, the Community feature was discontinued, preventing players from sharing levels and receiving additional Stars. As there is a limit to the number of Stars that can be obtained, not all objects may be unlocked from the Workshop.

Splatoon (Wii U): Miiverse posts are no longer displayed in Inkopolis Plaza or the game's stage maps.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS (Wii U, Nintendo 3DS): The Miiverse stage is stil playable, but Miiverse user posts are not displayed in the background. Players are also unable to post replays to YouTube/Miiverse, share stages or create tournaments.

Mario Kart 8 (Wii U): Players are no longer able to upload game-play videos to YouTube since they also post to Miiverse at the same time. The tournament function is also not available.

Super Mario 3D World (Wii U): Miiverse posts that appear on the course select screen and when selecting courses will disappear. Players will still be able to collect in-game stamps, but not post them to Miiverse.

Xenoblade Chronicles X (Wii U): The BLADE report feature is no longer available.

Yes, the game will continue to be sold. Users can still complete all 88 levels in the main game, and create and play their own levels locally.

Moving forward, default Miiverse posts that appear during offline mode will be displayed in Wara Wara Plaza.

The Wii U Chat service was discontinued with Miiverse on Nov. 7, 2017, at 10 p.m. PT.

Users that registered before the Miiverse service ended on Nov. 7, 2017 at 10 p.m. PT were able to download their old Miiverse posts. These users received an e-mail via Nintendo Account mail a few weeks after the Miiverse service ended, which included a unique URL to download their past Miiverse posts.

Currently Nintendo has no plans to implement any services to replace Miiverse, but the Nintendo Switch system includes features for connecting with Facebook and other social networking services.
