Personally, what I like the most about Miiverse is the people and the positive atmosphere (thanks, everyone)! I’ve seen many of you share some great advice and help each other out. All of your nice and honest comments have really encouraged me every time I made a post. Tom and I have worked on planning activities on Miiverse, but who really makes these activities fun is everyone that participates. Thank you very much for making Miiverse a unique and fun place!

I hope new users will have great experiences here like I do. I know there are many ways to enjoy Miiverse, but I’ll start a few of my tips for new users…

Tip #1:

Get connected with the developers of the games that you love!

If you love Mario, Pikmin, or any Nintendo games, you’ll want to follow Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario games! Eiji Aonuma often shares the latest news about Zelda games, too!

Verified Miis have a green mark on the corner of their Mii icon, and you can search their names in the search engine, or you can simply click “Get the latest News here!” to see the latest posts from a variety of game developers!

Tip #2:

Add your favorite game community to your Favorites!

Just set up your favorite game community to your Favorites, so you can quickly listen or join in on the latest conversations about your favorite games! It’s simple- just click on the “Favorite” button at the top of the community’s page! There is no limit to how many favorites you can add, so don’t feel shy about clicking that Favorite button!

Tip #3:

Add more personality to your profile by setting your favorite post to become the background photo at the top of your profile page!

You can add a screenshot or drawing to your profile! To add the image to your profile, just click the setting option (the button that looks like a wrench) and select “Set as a favorite post” after you make a post.

I actually enjoy checking out profiles because it’s fun seeing how everyone’s enjoying their games, and sometimes there’s some great artwork displayed, too!

Tip #4:

Miiverse is where you can share your gaming experience!

I used to jump around my room that scared my dog when I achieved something very challenging in a game, but now I express my feelings with other gamers by posting comments like “Yay! After an hour of hard work, I finally completed this stage! Awesome!” You might even get comments or Yeahs from someone who plays the same game!

Tip #5:

Don’t forget to say “thank you” if someone helps you out. A small sign of appreciation goes a long way, so…thank you, Miiverse!

Lastly, this is actually the most important!

To help keep Miiverse a fun place for everyone, please remember to read the Miiverse Code of Conduct thoroughly and follow the rules. The Miiverse Code of Conduct explains what’s not allowed on Miiverse like posting personal information, which also includes your friend codes for your Nintendo 3DS systems. On the Wii U, you can find the Miiverse Code of Conduct under the Settings/Other option in the User Menu, and in the User Menu for Nintendo 3DS.

I hope you have great holidays, everyone!

Thank you, everyone!
