Why do people keep quoting the desire to draw pictures of a penis as the biggest reason Miiverse sucks? Are you all stuck in the closet and need to explore your homosexual tendancies in the form of art to other people? The vast majority of which are almost certainly underage. (A fact im sure most of you are aware of)

Miiverse is awesome and the fact they hide rude stuff is just making the world a better place. I agree that rudeness exsists in the world but it shouldnt exsist in gaming, gaming is about fun and connecting people. If you are so desperate to send a picture of a penis to someone then go to the bathroom and use your phone and text it to a random number. Its the same effect but noone will do that because they know its childish immature and not right, so why is doing it on miiverse any different?

This ain't about penises but that describes perfectly that there is someone controlling what can and can't be drawn or written aka cencoring. I can understand this with something public like Miiverse to some degree but before releasing it they disabled it with private messages! They are screwing themselves with this as now people have to own seperate device to ask friend to play something or use public message.
"Won't someone think of the children" is also so furious reason as grown up player using device which has parental controls for those with kids.

Meanwhile Sony just updated their android software to support messaging to playstation buddies and included voice messages and vita has cross-game voice chat. Nintendo is left behind again from progress becouse of kid friendly policies and this is what makes me super mad as they have great devices and games.

Wonder if Friend Codes will still stay because I rely on Friend Safari IV Breeding. They better add a screenshot function :angry:

Lol that's exactly it, Nintendo is all about the children 5 and up >.> Sony and others are about the teenagers and adults not as much the kids as Nintendo, so of course Nintendo will censor those pedophiles just wanting to expose kids to stuff like that

because if ninty does complicated things that, most kids will be confused and they'll stop gaming on nintendo (maybe?) lol


People are not obligated to create an account.
You can play offline with any console without having to create an account.
Beside that, creating an account isn't much difficult,
and if kids have trouble with that they can ask their parents help.

There is really no excuse to avoid creating an account system,
that's just Nintendo and their regular difficulty to keep up with market tendencies.

I think the 3DS itself still uses friend codes and NNIDs are only used for Miiverse, but I guess we'll see.

She's probably popular because most of the Nintendo fans are guys, at least from my experience. But it is so hip to be a female Nintendo fan. I know of such a person on Youtube, too. :)

Well most young people live, eat, and breathe sex. It's why there're lots of Mario and related stuff porn. But yeah, that kind of stuff shouldn't be on Miiverse; keep it on Youtube so it doesn't upset the parents. (And I do mean this; the parents who look out for their children have a right to request this stuff not be made available to their children.)
Where do you come up with this stuff this is funny :)

He steals it from Gahars.

Maybe the friend code systems will be kept, but the Nintendo Network ID is going to be a wrap so you do not have to give/take long numbers. That is if they decide to keep the Friend Code system which I believe they will and might not be full implementation just yet of the NNID.
That or just the eShop is getting a big revamp and ease of search, recommend and review software.

I think that the filtering [of content] should be done by the thing between the screen and the floor (or seat). Nintendo should only improve the parental control I have seen parents that do not even read the ESRB tags and give M games to kids, no wonder why are there so many kid voices over online players, maybe Nintendo is worry about suing, how does other companies defend? perhaps it will be interesting to implement talks to clerks so they are responsible, how will they feel? Exactly my point.

I can't wait for the time where purchases are linked to accounts instead of the console.
Annoying when you have a 3DS and a 3DS XL and have to buy things twice.
I'm just hoping this update links purchases to an account so I can have what I purchased on both consoles.

Prepare to be disappointed. I'm fairly certain NNID simply links your funds across systems (an account), but ownership of games (I believe) will still be linked to a particular system.

No sign of the update so far.
I believe this update will block DS flashcards and will try to trouble 3DS flashcards, wether stoping Emunand or making the system even more secure against hacks.
I'm not interested in 3DS flashcards now, since there is no homebrew support yet.
I have a R4i Gold and I believe they will make a firmware update probably in less than 24 hours.
Maybe this update will be more troublesome than I'm expecting but I think that, after cuting a signal line to make R4i Gold work, nothing will surprise me anymore.

They've already said that friend codes are staying, there will be no friend requests, and there is no direct/private messaging.
Miiverse is useless unless you buy prepaid cards and can use the shared balance feature. I always add the exact amount of money needed so I can't use it...
I mean there's like a public forum now, but the audience is bad.

US eshop is giving me an error and tells me to press home and restart before trying again. Probably more maintenance unless the problem is on my end.

you know i have seen that page 3 times now, and it does not tell you really anything. all it says is its doing maintenance, and that is all we know. which is pretty bad, they said by 8 it would be done. however i guess metal sonic will have to wait, until its all said and done

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
