Nintendo planning more Miiverse updates - more interactions, ability to launch specific game points

GN Version 4.0
- Miiverse will be updated in a future version of the Wii U Software Development Kit
- will include features to improve interactions within games
- future games will have more Miiverse functions
- this includes the ability to send and receive comments, follow users from within a game, viewing follower lists, and view lists of people who Yeah'd their posts
- Miiverse posts will gain the ability to launch games at a specific point from a link in Miiverse
- example: posts from within levels in New Super Mario Bros. U are tagged with the in-game locations
- this would allow you to launch a level directly from a corresponding Miiverse comment
- Miiverse can be coupled with an online datastore, which could perform even more advanced functions
- user communities allow users to join via community code
- these communities will only be available to those that own a game and have a code
- this feature can be used to organize and hold tournaments
- Wii Fit U will be the first title to incorporate the feature
- players will be able to share training records and activity logs
- while not confirmed for development, Nintendo sees the potential to link stage editors to Miiverse
- the idea would allow you to create and direct an entire game from Miiverse
