Nintendo will end the Miiverse service on 11 November 2017 at 15:00 JST. Viewing Miiverse on Nintendo 3DS, Wii U or via the internet will be impossible after this date. The function will be unavailable in any game that uses the service. Users will have the opportunity to download their posts for a limited time. Details will be announced within Miiverse at a later date.

So is Wii U chat and TVii in Japan.
Time for package capturing and making replica servers, people!

And the death of the 3DS begins in earnest.

Huh... Feels like the 3DS only had it for a short while. Reminds me of the DS online going down so soon after Pokemon B2/W2 came out (rip sweet Dream World...)
I don't have a Switch so I don't know; what's the replacement? Or is there none yet?

Does this affect online games or just the social network?

Super Mario Maker will be affected, but supposedly there will a workaround for sharing custom stages once Miiverse goes down. I'll believe it when I see it. Ugh this is why I don't support digital distribution for gaming as currently practiced; too many treasures disappear forever when servers are pulled to make way for the future.

Here is a link to all the affected titles in North America: http://en-americas-support.nintendo...2ZlNUcDhqMiU3RW95UDZIVm5qQW5aWFdaWkVRJTIxJTIx

Is a matter of time when the online functionality will be shut down, another reason to hate Nintendo.

"So you bought our failed console, or our ds with 3d effect, we are glad to announce we are shutting down one part of our online functionality, even though the other companies are supporting the last gen consoles, come and buy our new shiny toy that will be replaced after 5 years in the market.
Sincerely
Nintendo"

I am starting to hate this company so much...

There is none.

Will affect all games with online features: http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27325

Nintendo deserves all the hate, but this will actually continue to be a problem forever it seems for every console maker and game developer. Try this template on for size:

"Our company ___ regrets to inform you that ___ will no longer be available for purchase after ___. After ___, the servers will close so please make sure to download your games and DLC by ___. -Signed ___."

You can fill in the blanks with your favorite/most hated gaming company. Enjoy!

Here's their full statement:

Why are you shutting down Miiverse?
- We started the Miiverse service in 2012 along with the launch of the Wii U system because we wanted to provide a space where users could share their feelings about games with each other. Thanks to users' support throughout the years, we think we were able to achieve that goal. We decided to end the service at this time because, among other reasons, many users are shifting to social networking services.
- Users can download their old Miiverse posts (without comments or messages from others) by visiting http://miiverse.nintendo.net and registering before the Miiverse service ends on Nov. 7, 2017 at 10 p.m. PT. Once registered, users will receive an e-mail via Nintendo Account mail a few weeks after the Miiverse service ends, which will include a unique URL to download their past Miiverse posts.

When will the Miiverse service end?
- Nov. 7, 2017 at 10 p.m. PT
- Once the Miiverse service ends, users will not be able to access Miiverse on Wii U, any of the Nintendo 3DS family of systems or an Internet browser on PCs and smart devices.

Will the Miiverse icon still be displayed on the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS Home Menu?
- Yes. The Miiverse icon will continue to appear, but an error message will be displayed when it is pressed.

Many games use Miiverse as a major game-play feature, including Super Mario Maker for Wii U. What happens to those games when Miiverse shuts down?
- Super Mario Maker (Wii U): Users will still be able to share levels, but will no longer be able to comment on them.
- Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars (Wii U, Nintendo 3DS): While users will still be able to play Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars and complete all 88 levels in the main game, the Community feature will be discontinued, preventing players from sharing levels and receiving additional Stars. As there will be a limit to the number of Stars that can be obtained, not all objects may be unlocked from the Workshop.
- Splatoon (Wii U): Miiverse posts will no longer display in Inkopolis Plaza or the game's stage maps.
- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS (Wii U, Nintendo 3DS): The Miiverse stage will still be playable, but Miiverse user posts will not display in the background. Players will also be unable to post replays to YouTube/Miiverse, share stages or create tournaments.
- Mario Kart 8 (Wii U): Players will not be able to upload game-play videos to YouTube since they also post to Miiverse at the same time. The tournament function will also not be available.
- Super Mario 3D World (Wii U): In Super Mario 3D World, the Miiverse posts that appear on the course select screen and when selecting courses will disappear. Players will still be able to collect in-game stamps, but not post them to Miiverse.
- Xenoblade Chronicles X (Wii U): In Xenoblade Chronicles X, the BLADE report feature will no longer be available.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars will be losing major features. Will you continue selling the game?
- Yes, the game will continue to be sold. Users will still be able to complete all 88 levels in the main game, and create and play their own levels locally.

Will Miiverse posts still display in Wara Wara Plaza on Wii U?
- Moving forward, default Miiverse posts that appear during offline mode will be displayed in Wara Wara Plaza.

Will Wii U Chat still function after the closure of Miiverse?
- The Wii U Chat service will be discontinued with Miiverse on Nov. 7, 2017, at 10 p.m. PT.

Can users still view their old Miiverse posts once the service is shut down?
- Users can download their old Miiverse posts (without comments or messages from others) by visiting http://miiverse.nintendo.net and registering before the Miiverse service ends on Nov. 7, 2017 at 10 p.m. PT. Once registered, users will receive an e-mail via Nintendo Account mail a few weeks after the Miiverse service ends, which will include a unique URL to download their past Miiverse posts.

Will there be a similar service to replace Miiverse on Nintendo Switch?
- Currently Nintendo has no plans to implement any services to replace Miiverse, but the Nintendo Switch system includes features for connecting with Facebook and other social networking services.

Time for an archive project while there's still time?

So... In order to prevent everyone's Miiverse account getting deleted... They're shutting the whole thing down... Which is essentially the same thing?...
Do you actually believe this?

Good God, for an Aussie your English is atrocious. And I already knew about that entrypoint. I doubt that is the reason for Nintendo shutting down Miiverse.

I did not mean to offend, but it was hard to understand what you were saying.

Then I just hope Nintendo pushes a fw update to get rid of the miiverse icon, I just hate it when you have things that don't work anymore showing up on your device, kinda like the ps store icon on the psp.
