Still friend codes. Nintendo is a real pain in my ass. I also had to input a Parental Control PIN in order to use my NNID. I HAVE NO CHILDREN WHY DO I HAVE A PARENTAL CONTROL PIN?

I didn't have to do that. You must've done that. You can delete it in parental controls.

 

[Principate]

So does the "wii u friends" mentioned in the profile settings include anyone in 3DS or have that not bothered to implement anything with them yet.

 

[Harlock]

The digital games still linked to the hardware?

 

[JoeM86]

Actually, removing Friend Codes and implementing NNIDs as the method of friends would require a massive rewrite of both the operating system and all games which call upon them. We'll always have Friend Codes on the 3DS.

 

[Interceptor]

Linked to the NNID.

Spoiler

Which is linked to the hardware. lol
At least there is a system transfer option on the 3DS.

 

[Anteo]

Yes. But the system transfer limit was removed

 

[watershed]

Miiverse on the 3ds is fun so far but too bad the loading time dulls the whole experience. Browsing Miiverse on my phone is a lot faster but posting is not as fun that way.

 

[Javier]

Hope we get a Senran Kagura Burst community so we can post screenshots of those amazing plot twists.

Give it some time to settle. Everyone is using it atm

 

[GreatMightySymp]

Does the Mii Plaza update work yet?

Didn't work for me as of a few minutes ago.

Just to check, but an NNID can only be registered to one Wii U and one 3DS at a time, right?

I.e. if I have a 2DS and 3DS, my 2DS would need to have another NNID if I have my Wii U one linked to my 3DS?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

It's actually satisfyingly fast for me. I was expecting a situation like the awful 3DS Internet Browser.

at least they could scan for your friend code friends NNID and let you add them on miiverse automatically

having both things in there separately is kinda retarded

 

[Khaz]

Quick question regarding Miiverse and spoilers: can we report a post as spoilery to have a mod flagging it accordingly or is it just report / delete?

 

[entremet]

Yep. Same reason they took swapnote down. Blame the pedos. No PNs via Miiverse as well. (on 3DS)

This is dumb. Oh well.

Not necessarily. Games would still be given Friend Codes to work with, it's just that you would associate your 3DS FC with a NNID and the console is in charge of translating it. After all the “join online party from friend list” feature came from an update that must've required rewrite on that end and it works fine./

Didn't work for me as of a few minutes ago.

Yes just 1 Wii U + 1 3DS at a time per NNID. Just 1 NNID on a 3DS. Multiple NNIDs possible on Wii U.

 

[hwy_61]

Ok, so this is kinda weird...My NNID has an underscore in it, but when I go to link it to 3DS, I can't use an underscore.

I'm confused.

 

[Exile20]

It boogles my mind how features from the 3ds are not in the Wii u.

System transfers
Folder

Find the shift button on the keyboard.

It boggles me how we still don't have eShop gifting when the Wii had it years back!

Using the SHIFT key causes some symbols to change.

Thanks guys.

thats the big one

not to mention being able to just paypal some kind soul with access to a CC to gift me something would avoid my need for eshop cards

having to add $20 to buy a $5 gets annoying

 

[Meier]

This has probably been mentioned by others, but my Street Pass Mii Plaza update is continually failing. Error Code 026-3051. The System update happened with no problem.

 

[Waylon Drums]

This is an issue you definitely created yourself, and you should also definitely take some time to go to the Parental Control settings in the System Settings app.

I had to so that I could use the dream thingie in Animal Crossing. So, yes, I created it but not because I wanted to.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Ahh. Goodbye foreign language posts. Thank goodness.

 

[SuperSah]

I honestly feel it's fast enough already.

It's pretty quick for me.

 

[Khaz]

As long as Miiverse is optional,not every 3DS will be linked to a NNID. => Friends codes are here to stay.

However what could happen if Nintendo was competent is to have the Miiverse friend list duplicating the whole 3DS friend list so that a 3DS with Miiverse would only have to use Miiverse to manage friends. Using NNID to identify friends with Miiverse or Friend codes for friends without Miiverse. Because 1 NNID = 1 3DS friend code, a database link could be done very easily when inputing a friend's NNID.

But eh, Nintendo.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Well this is a good start. Slowly but surely Nintendo is being dragged kicking and screaming into the last generation. lol

Now to update my 3DS. lol

 

[Khaz]

Software updates are linked to the eShop, while OS updates have their own separate servers.

 

[Trevelyan9999]

I have not been able to access the 3DS eShop since the update, anyone else having the same problem? Wii U eShop is fine so it's not my connection. 3DS Miiverse works great, everything else works fine as well.....but the eShop is a no go for me. I'll will report back in a few hours to let you guys know if it is still a problem.

Tip: add the Nintendo server status page to your favourites.

 

[watershed]

Not for me. In order to be something I use with ease on a daily basis it should be as fast to browse and post as any smart phone app is. Obviously the 3ds is built differently but the loading between screens just slows things down just enough to be intrusive.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

i was hoping 3DS games would start showing up on WaraWara Plaza, but I think Zelda and Pokemon would have shown up by now. WaraWara Plaza is just sad right now. Half of that stuff isn't even games.

Bad idea I think. Given the sizable difference in userbase/sales, Wara Wara would quickly be nothing but 3DS games. Not exactly what a Wii U owner wants to see.

 

[Khaz]

Not anymore:

Intermittently unable to connect currently, due to a high concentration of people trying to access the service. We apologise for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.

Slow, but the servers are up. You may experience connection drop though due to the amount of people trying to connect.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Anyone having problems connecting to the 3DS eshop?

Good, the problem should be soon fixed, then

 

[Clockwork5]

Yeah, I found this to be the case when I added some folks that I liked (like the people at Giant Bomb) and saw that most of them haven't posted since around the Wii U launch. Have you got any recommendations for artists?

On the Wii u the places to check out art are the YouTube and Art Academy miiverses. I don't follow specific people but those two feeds usually have some impressive drawings.

I imagine the 3ds will have similar results.

 

[Darryl]

at least they could scan for your friend code friends NNID and let you add them on miiverse automatically

I can see why they don't get rid of FCs but this is pretty dumb, yea. Maybe they hate the 3DS hardware capabilities now and want to keep it as little involved as possible.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

It's a shame there's no Colors 3D community, that'd be great.

Says some features aren't available on the status page, but yeah, I tried just a minute ago and I get an error code.

Hope more third-party communities show up soon. Want to see Soul Hackers and SMT IV.

 

[neto]

I always hate it when when usernames need to be longer than 5 characters, is there a reason for that?

Haha yeah I wanted to have the same username as here but it was too short

I don't thing people wanted a removal but rather a NNID x= FC y so typing either will get you it.

A problem of merging both lists is the 100 limit. Which my only solution is some sort of friend manager so you can have 100 loaded at once then a load in standby (maybe substitute offline ones or something).

This has probably been mentioned by others, but my Street Pass Mii Plaza update is continually failing. Error Code 026-3051. The System update happened with no problem.

Is the eShop up? I would imagine the data it needs to download is stored there. Just leave it a day

Spoiler

apparently it does nothing. some speculate something to do with NNID and buying DLC but that would be the case for any game that has DLC

 

[Aostia]

any downside from this update, aside the "no region switch money" thing?

You may have issues if you're using Gateway and other 3DS homebrew stuff, but that's with every update.

 

[Ansatz]

Connected to Wii U eShop (EU)

3DS works too

 

[grumpy]

Have they changed the folder icons in the bottom screen or is it just my imagination? Everything kinda looks more saturated.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I don't mind that the Miiverse takes a while to load, but I wish they wouldn't give a sound effect to it! "wuwuwuwuwuw" jesus can you imagine if your browser on the PC did that?

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Apparently they have disabled anti-aliasing on the system menu (wonder if this frees up RAM or something) making icons bolder.

 

[Storm Chamber]

Updates huh...

 

[GeekyDad]

LOL Already had one of my comments removed by an admin. Someone posted asking for help to fund building something in New Leaf, and I replied saying they should post a "will work for bells" sign. Guess that's too taboo for Miiverse.
