Nintendo brings Miiverse social network from Wii U to the web

Miiverse, the social network that Nintendo launched with its Wii U console, is now available in web browsers. The network lets you view friends’ updates and posts to individual game communities in both text and — via the Wii U GamePad’s touchscreen — written or drawn form. The web app, which Nintendo says is still in beta, features a simple, responsive design that scales down well to mobile devices. However, it doesn’t look like the company is enabling the ability to make new posts from the web interface yet; for that, you’ll still need to use your Wii U. You also need to have created a Nintendo Network account on your Wii U before using the app. If you’re already set up, it’s available to browse now at miiverse.nintendo.net.
