I know y'all are enjoying the USUM leaks at the moment (I am too), but I just want to give a brief mention to something.
Miiverse has finally shut down about 30 minutes ago. If you try to access their website, this pops up instead.
That's a pretty sweet image! I even took a closer look at the image, and wow, it's an incredible peace of art: a compilation of Miiverse art that is "Thank you Miiverse" themed.
To be honest, a part of me is going to miss Miiverse. Yes, there were plenty of bad things associated with it, but I found a lot of good in Miiverse as well. This was the first software that was capable of taking in-game screenshots, and boy was that useful. I also enjoyed creating and sharing art on that sight every now and then. They were no masterpieces like those Miiverse art you commonly find. It was also the first place where I truly began to express my gaming thoughts/reviews on the Internet.
I even went back to my profile and took a few screenshots to savor the final moments:
Here was my profile image on the top left of my user page:
I made that Mega Gallade art in Smash 4's photograph mode. I originally used the image to promote Gallade as a Smash Bros fighter, but then I used the image as my Miiverse cover photo. What better way to encompass my user page than with an art of my favorite Pokemon I put work into!
I also booted up Nintendo Land just to make one final post:
A simple little gratitude message, and it even got one final Yeah! Why did I pick the Nintendo Land community to make the post? Because that was where I made my first Miiverse post five years back.
Farewell, Miiverse. It's been fun while it lasted!
OK, y'all can resume the USUM talk.
