It's usually done to prevent spoilers. Same thing with Monster Hunter for example.

Miiverse has a spoiler function. There is no freaking reason to disable screenshots besides the publisher's dumbness.
When you want to take a screenshot, press Home button and go to the Miiverse.
I'd bet $10 this is on Gamefreak, not Nintendo.
Holy shit. Really?!

Just noticed the change on profile, that now shows how many "yeahs" I've given instead of received
702 yeahs. I have so much empathy!

What does being able to link an NNID to the 3DS mean? The NNID is the system the Wii U was already using, right?
Is this a step toward an account system across both platforms? And what benefit does it hold right now for 3DS users?
Questions!
Miiverse seems so useless for me on 3DS since I play on the commute. No connectivity.

The spoiler function isn't reliable. People might forget to mark a screenshot on Miiverse, or simply link the screens online like we do on GAF, and there's fuck all anybody can do when that happens. Which is why companies like Capcom or Gamefreak disable screenshots.

Unfortunately, yes. Still possible but you have to contact support for this.

There was a Nintendo Direct where Iwata said the Wii U to Wii U transfer feature would come later. That was quite some time ago, who knows how long we'll have to wait.

I think one problem is that gamers don't usually consider some rare Pokemon or rare armor as a spoiler, but the devs might want people to go in without knowing that stuff.

it has an offline mode where you can make posts and it will save them and post them when you connect to the internet again
but yeah for me I rarely post but I lurk around on Miiverse a lot. at least on the Wii U.

"Turn off" something you don't have to use or even see?
It's not really a "routine" maintenance, it's not indicated as such (and besides, what would be the point of having a routine maintenance BEFORE the update if you're going to have one AFTER it).
And this is one is quite long maintenance, something's definitely wrong. No idea what the hell the Nintendo egineers did this time
You can make posts on your smartphone since Miiverse has a mobile site.

How are you adding funds to the US eShop? Canada is typically preferred as you can use non USA credit cards on it.
Regarding Club Nintendo, I'd avoid contacting NOA in any way or possibly buying physical gifts. If they figure out you are outside of the USA they ban you (this won't affect NNID in any way).
alternatively you can access miiverse on your smartphone.Miiverse seems so useless for me on 3DS since I play on the commute. No connectivity.
yeah that too. I guess that would be the better solution unless you want to draw something

Exactly. It's really obvious with games like Monster Hunter, where the biggest monster featured in marketing usually only marks the halfway point of the low level quest line. Anything bigger than that is teased at best.

I don't have a credit card, so I've added funds in the past by buying US eShop codes. And yes, I'm aware I can't get physical gifts, I should have mentioned that. Thanks for the heads-up anyway!
Or use the smartphone as a mobile hotspot for your 3DS if you want to draw or post screenshots.
Thanks!

Still makes no sense because plenty of other games with potentially spoilable content do allow screenshots on Miiverse. If we follow the spoiler argument, then you'd be left with very few games allowing screenshots like OMG there's a golden kart in Mario Kart let's prevent people from posting pics!!!

Alright so hypothetical scenario as I try to wrap my head around NNID. Say I have a Wii U, made the account there, end up linking it with the 3DS, then want to sell or get rid of the Wii U. Will formatting the Wii U delete the account entirely or is there a way to specifically remove association with the Wii U while keeping it on 3DS?
No.

My GF has like 2 friends on her Wii U account but loads of 3DS only owners on her 3DS friend list.
I'm not sure how it will all work once those 3DS users start posting on Miiverse.
Will their posts show up in her feed thing? Or will she have to re-add them somehow (with their NNID whenever they make one?)
At the moment she only sees the 2 friends from Wii U on her feed on the 3DS.

I can reply to that even though I don't have Miiverse yet:
No. DS, DSi and ambassadors GBA games use legacy mode (DS sandbox) which doesn't allow home button interaction.
Or assholeness. Looking at you, Square Enix who doesn't allow screenshots of its Wii U VC games. Fuck you!
Except Capcom allows screenshots just fine for all their games that actually have plot (RE: Revelations, all VC games).

Has anyone been able to get into the eshop on either system? I want to make sure my balance has been updated/combined
Commute = subway. Underground. No connectivity.
That's why 3DS Miiverse has a save function for offline mode. Problem solved.
Plus you can't take screens of a game that doesn't have a community anyway.
Shit's down. Patience.

Miiverse is soooooo goood. Great, as if I wanted even more distraction and time wasting >.< My ID is ShivaRpgN if any gaffer is interested!
It's a shame that we have to wait for games to have communities and that not all have them. I hope nintendo gets a move on.
Do Wii U games also have communities for eshop and virtual console games?
I saw you could actually do what you asked. Go to the settings inside miiverse, I forgot wether it was profile settings or miiverse settings. You get the option to select English only or international languages mixed.

Use offline mode.
I was talking about Monster Hunter, obviously.

So can anyone access the eshop?

Are there really spoilers in MH? Is it a spoiler to see that you got that one helmet? That's what I don't understand about the MH example.
Down.

Yes.
You must only take photos in the designated photo areas!
Really? Or did you use a capture card?

Great. Weird we don't have any for the time being. Pullblox should have been there from the start.

Sorry if this has been asked but can I use funds tied to my 3DS on my Wii U now?
Capcom apparently thinks so. I don't necessarily agree with them either, but it's their call.
