Yesterday we reported on how gamers can now access Nintendo’s social network, the Miiverse, from their smartphones and computers through an open beta program but many still had questions about when the service would launch on Nintendo’s other platform; the Nintendo 3DS.
During Nintendo’s recent financial report Satoru Iwata had confirmed that the service will be available on the 3DS this year saying this following:
“Miiverse has been received as one of the big features of Wii U. As we announced before, you will be able to view the content through your PC or smart device from today.
This is a web service on which you can experience Miiverse through your Internet browser. Currently, it is a beta version with content viewing only.
This web service will enable Wii U users to see the content of Miiverse on smartphones even outside the home. In addition, it will play an important role in having those who do not have Wii U understand the appeal of the platform through Miiverse. We would like to enrich the service incrementally.
We are also planning to make available a system update for Nintendo 3DS to allow its users to view and post content on Miiverse on the system within this year. This will facilitate user communication about Nintendo 3DS games and help users enjoy them more deeply. At the same time, the more people take advantage of Miiverse, the more deeply and correctly they will understand the charm of the other platform, Wii U.”
