Miiverse on the Wii U. Every games felt like a community. You could share tips, screenshots, etc… some games even had integrations like chat bubbles in Mario Maker. I always went out of my way to pick up a message in a bottle in Windwaker.

When they shut it down, the console main screen felt VERY empty and each players, very alone (You can spare the jokes about how we were alone anyway since it didn’t sell well)

If you mod your WiiU, you can convert to the Pretendo Network. It is full of life just like the Miiverse was.

Yup! Already did ;)

I was so stoked to show my daughter what the Wii U is SUPPOSED to be! 😜

I also used the Wii U account swap app to keep my old saves with my Pretendo account. Now I’m just waiting for Mario Maker support to reupload my old maps hehe

Those features were so cool! I loved my Wii U also because of the underutilized potential it had. I wish we had a lot more simulative type experiences where the console as a "dashboard" could have made more sense.
