It's the same community, Wii U online multiplayer just regularly doesn't have mics and is heavily moderated. Same quality of games, same quality of gamers.

I guess the Wii U's games can't reach the same graphical quality, but graphics don't make the game, gameplay does.

Nothing more solid than solid.

My WiFi is solid. I've had Smash Bros matches with what appears to be 0% lag. Your mileage may vary.

People do all the time, they just get deleted. Miiverse mods delete anything remotely offensive, it doesn't change the type of people just because it's actually moderated.

The administration on Miiverse is not very consistent.

Basically, questionable material will stick around until someone reports it. They don't seem to actively monitor what gets posted. Basically, it seems they largely just let users use the "report as inappropriate" button, and then they follow up with deletion.

When they want to enforce rules, they are more sensitive than a toothache.

I like that I have owned a Wii U since launch, and while the console had a rocky start and continues to be disregarded by major third-party publishers, Nintendo themselves have stepped up to make it a worthwhile platform to the consumer. Thnaks

2014 owned if you had a Wii U and a PC. 2015 looks to be the same. lol if you don't own a Wii U by now. Its not just sad, its hilariously depressing.

Guess the DDP is sticking around till April?

"[NOTE] The Deluxe Digital Promotion will be discontinued on April 1, 2015. Please exchange your points for an activation code by March 31, 2015. Activation codes must be redeemed in the Nintendo eShop by June 30, 2015."

Just saw this in the site.

The website also says this:

quote:

Earn points on all digital purchases made through Dec 2014.
Exchange points to receive activation codes by Mar 2015.

So I don't think it's an extension. I think the way it works is:
Deadline for earning DDP points: Tonight
Deadline for converting those points into codes: March 31
Deadline for using those codes: June 30

Exactly why I bought a Wii U, pretty much. My last (online) multiplayer interaction before the Wii U in May was Grand Theft Auto V in November 2013, in which a teenage kid thugspoke the entire time, left me behind in co-op missions, killed & ran me over, and called me names such as "human being" and a very uncute N-word over and over for no reason. I'm not a baby, but it was a really souring experience. I pretty much gave up on PC multiplayer gaming when I quit playing World of Warcraft and Left 4 Dead 2. The Wii U had been a polar opposite experience when it comes to community.

This is me recently. I've been bored of and hated pc gaming for a long time, and I absolutely love my PS4 for recent great games like Far Cry 4 and Dragon Age, I'm even really into Advanced Warfare. But there's something about those games and the console that doesn't always do it for me nowadays. Nintendo has stayed child friendly, kept a happy positive mindset all around, and the way the games work in little references to mythology, history, great music, nice morals. It's just fresh for me while also dishing a great dose of nostalgia. I don't need to have online multiplayer everywhere and incredibly complex, deep games all the time. Let me play an old Castlevania game, a new version of Mario, cute toads finding pretty things, RAD ACTION GAMES FEATURING ADULT BOOBS AND COMPLEX CONTROLS, zeldas, whatever.

Sorry for the rant. I really like Nintendo. In the vast sea of let downs throughout the history of modern technology I can't remember a time when I couldn't sit down with the newest Nintendo handheld/home console and enjoy myself. They're still putting fun at the forefront and bless their cute little hearts for it.
