Miiverse (Nintendo 3DS)

Miiverse
Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo Platform: Nintendo 3DS Released in JP: December 9, 2013 Released in US: December 9, 2013 Released in EU: December 9, 2013 This game has hidden development-related text.

This game is defunct. Do note the game no longer works at all without modifications. This is most likely due to the game's servers being shut down. As a result, further official developments with the game are unlikely to happen.

Miiverse was introduced alongside the Nintendo Network on the 3DS, which allowed users to post screenshots and discuss games they were playing alongside Wii U users. However, rather than making a semi-dedicated app like the Wii U had (which actually worked rather well), they just modified a web browser and made Miiverse out of a bunch of HTML pages, making it painfully slow in the process. Way to drop the ball, Nintendo!

That being said, there is one 3DS title that uses a semi-dedicated Miiverse app - Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. It's used to post screenshots to Miiverse on the "old" 3DS/2DS. Contrary to what it says on the eShop, the Update Data for the game does not contain the Miiverse Posting app in of itself; rather, it's outsourced to a separate process (called "Post To Miiverse" on the 3DS Activity Log, and "solv3" internally within the 3DS System Software).

It was discontinued on November 7, 2017.

HTML Comments

To do: Not sure if this is really needed, I should look into this.

This code is repeated several times through each of the various HTML pages for each language the 3DS can display. They're markers to denote what content is displaying where, so it can be referenced to quickly if something needs to be repaired or added.

"Upper Screen":

<!--┏━━━━━▼ 上画面 ▼━━━━━┓-->
<!--┗━━━━━▲ 上画面 ▲━━━━━┛-->

"Lower Screen":

<!--┏━━━━━▼ 下画面 ▼━━━━━┓-->
<!--┗━━━━━▲ 下画面 ▲━━━━━┛-->

Miscellaneous

To do: Why does it do this? Are there any that are unused? (This will take a while to look through...)

Within the CSS files for Miiverse, a lot of the graphics that are already stored as PNGs are also encoded in base64 within the .css files.

Unused Game Rating Characteristics

To do: Check whether the "Hate Speech", "Mild Hate Speech", and "No Descriptors" content types are used in any games featured on the eShop.
