Today let's take a look back at the weird and wild world of the Nintendo Miiverse. From scuffles and drama between communities (usually New Super Luigi U, for some reason) to bizarre posts and memes, to the disturbing clones that followed the app's closure. Let's take a trip down memor-mii road (ha) and take a look back at the strange and hilarious world of the Miiverse.

I think society would be a lot better if Twitter was shut down and we all had to use the Miiverse instead.
For a while, but if we were ALWAYS using miiverse and nothing else i think the world would have ended in 2016
I second this decision, but every other social media site will also fall and bow down to the Ultimate Leader the Miiverse
Oh man... that would be crazy
Agreed
Nah people would leak peoples addresses by drawing their house on the chat
the pattern repeats itself:
Beloved children site > closing site promptly > clones of site pop up > the police are involved in at least one of those clones
club penguin
😔
@@zettavevo Exactly what I was thinking.
@@zettavevo E x a c t l y .
club penguin followed this story if i am correct with the last part of the pattern
adding "DON'T JUST YEAH IT" to my vocabulary
omg Cheyenne!
OMG HI CHEYENNE!!!!
"Waiting for yeahs to pile up"
Yeah
Idk if it was just the voice over, but that was too funny 😭
You're telling me a clone of a shut down service targeted at kids was largely run a huge creep and was probably made it as a way to get close to said kids? Who could have possibly seen this coming???
Same thing happened with club penguin clones
Well, I didn't.
@@violetbitch9492 Club Penguin Online, notably.
Said creep was 13 years old at the time ik him.
@@duh_itz_kitty don’t care + didn’t ask + you have a dragon maid layout so you can’t be trusted
I used to be a microcelebrity on miiverse, I have nothing but fond memories of that place. Although I do often question why so many people followed 12 year old me's random activities.
that’s so cool and wholesome
I wasn't, but I was friends with a group that was and as much as I tried to be a part of the group nobody gave me the time of day 😭😭 it was super fun though
Where you Trevor?
I was as well, I was like 14 when the app closed so I wasn't able to really reach my full potential on the site but it was definitely an experience
I had around 5k followers I think? I was 14 when miiverse started and I first started posting that same year and early miiverse was much different.
Miiverse was just Twitter for kids. It was terrible, but I loved it
I am being humble when I am telling you that I am the most powerful strongest coolest smartest most famous greatest funniest Y*uTub3r of all time! That's the reason I have multiple girlfriends and I show them off all the time! Bye bye mol

damn, that's cool, but i don't remember asking.
Amber here, from miiverse! my sister and multiple friends have sent me your video to inform me of my appearance in it. I just want everyone who is asking to know that yes I am indeed doing alright and that I'm not dead. 😊 thank you so much for keeping the tradition of Amber day going, I find it so fascinating! miiverse will forever live on in our hearts ♥
oh my god seeing old MV people online is so surreal to me ...
When is amber day
So the uploader of this is really the Izzy from back then? I'm not going crazy here? You people really are who I think you are?
Ok but y can’t Metroid crawl?
Why did you get your console taken away?

''Miiverse Veteran'' here
The reason why the New Super Luigi U Community became the most popular and most chaotic is very simple honestly. Nintendo loved making horrible updates a regular for Miiverse such as (taking away the ''Yeah'' Counter (Which formed a fucking religion named FTU (For The Update) and ATU (Against The Update), limiting posts to only 30 a day, removing the Activity Feed, removing the top post section etc. But for some very bizarre Reason the NSLU Community never got affected by these Updates so it quickly became THE place to go to. Even at the end of Miiverse that place was booming with users.
Gotta miss that mess of a platform, made a ton of friends on there, even am still befriended with most of them.
Kinda curious tho, if somebody here might remember me
I was ''Ninetails'' (QuoteFTW)
Wait, they took out the Yeah! Counter??? wtf???
And none of the updates went to the New Super Luigi community???
That's fucking wild
@@Cute___E it definitely/was pure chaos
the redesign never hit sub communities 4 games, such as the nslu (sub community of new super mario bros u) n the wii sports club countries (banama n the various "hotels")
@@Cute___E it was really weird. I was chronically onmiiverse and I can confirm it was a mess in that communi
@@Cute___E yeah, that and a few sub communities for other games just didn’t get updated, though it is one of several shitpost communities that emerged, the first being the Smash Bros Communitiy, which then attempted to colonise the Zelda community when Smash 4 happened and the community was about to be deleted and replaced with the Smash 4 one, leading to one of the Miiverse Wars. NSLU would be colonised later on, and would become the sites general chat for the rest of its run. Additionally there was Wii Sports Club, whose sub communities were turned into shitpost chats as they retained the original formatting, and basically any obscure shovelware title, since about one person actually played them. There’s also meme run, which was one of several games made to pander to Miiverse’s off topic factions (I can’t remember if it was Smashers or NSLU community at that time though), mainly though the recurrence of Miiverse’s unofficial mascot Bigley, a stick figure of Ridley from the Metroid games
The concept of Miiverse is so crazy, like imagine if today Nintendo announced they were making a social media platform for the switch, it would be absolute chaos
It was chaos back then too
They would find a way to monetize it
I cant imagine how many among us you would see lol
@@jay7568 it would just be a "nintendo switch online only feature" 🤣 at least it would get it one step closer to justifying the price
And miiverse wasn’t full of chaos 😂?
I met a japanese girl in splatoon and we used to talk through miiverse, it was so much fun talking to her, exchanging messages, teaching her some english and spanish words and she replaying with japanese and kanji. I was so sad when miiverse closed just for that reason, I miss talking to her and drawing silly things :(
If you still remember her username, you could google it and see if she still goes by it on other social media. I hope you can find her!
@@ginandromeda1618 Yeah, it's scarily easy to find ppl like that by using their nicknames
@@atanaZion finally, after 3 days I found you. Meet me at our old place Tommorow and bring 3 spoons, you know exactly for what.
op has e-bitches
@@ginandromeda1618 this is stalking and is super creepy
I never really understood why people were insistent on posting NSFW content on Miiverse when they could just post it on Twitter lmao. It was pretty obvious the platform was made for children
bc it was fun prob
Ppl not being allowed to do something makes them wanna do that thing
Transgression
Always found that weird… you know it’s a platform for kids and yet you’re being a hypersexual weirdo knowing those kids can see that? (And you may even be interacting with them…) someone call Chris Hansen!
I think there’s 2 reasons. The first is that some people do deliberately want to expose children to sexual content. The second is that the contrast of a innocent website and a sexual message can be funny.
As a Splatoon fan, the miiverse was such a large part of the og game, that they recreated it just for Splatoon 2. It was that iconic
If we don’t make a mini mii verse for splatoon 3 I WILL cry. I WILL.
And SMM2
Omg splatoon 2 comments are so funny
Izzy, I can’t believe you didn’t talk about how this place was responsible for the “Now draw her giving birth!” Meme
no...this can't be how I find out
OH NO
I didn’t know that meme came from Miiverse, but yeah that checks out
oh no 💀💀
WHAT?! This meme sounds vaguely familiar
It's really funny how everytime people try to revive communities, it just devolves into anarchy like Club Penguin Online.
Club Penguin Online?
More like C______ P_____ Online...
Man that was a whole can of worms, can't believe there was actually such a thing as the Club Penguin Mafia.
Some do, like CPO or Virtual Penguin, but some just don't, like Toontown Online or many other CPPSes that still stand, like Flippr.
About Club Penguin, R.I.P Club Penguin Rewritten.
@@_-Lx-_ club penguin armies like the club penguin mafia actually have a very long and ridiculous history. it’s a rabbit hole you might want to go down because it’s so interesting and weird!
Well these are all revivals of things made for children that had a lot of adults on it. They’re doomed from the start.
Whenever a beloved childhood social experience goes down, someone will put it back up.
And they *will* be a horrible, irredeemable person.
nothing more exploitable than media originally targeted towards children
sigh
Literally why can’t these people just be normal 😭
why does this always happen, everytime something good gets shut down / becomes bad someone remakes it and that person turns out to be a horrible person. every single yandere sim clone maker was a horrible person, 2 of the club penguin clone creators were also horrible, and multiple smaller miiverse clones had horrible clone makers as well. what makes horrible people wanna make clones of things so bad
@@beamed7770 to be fair the actual creator of yandere sim is horrible so I'm not surprised in that case at least
Imagine how the miiverse would be if It still existed.
There would be soo much among us related crap
The only positive of it shutting down
I guess everything has a silver lining after all

Splatoon still allows users to post miiverse esque drawings, and yeah there’s a lot of among us
I would assume fnf too lol
I had SO MUCH RELIEF years later believing that Miiverse had been wiped. Imagine me in 2019 having a crisis at night as I discovered my cringe posts are actually preserved on the archive page.
Lmao me too kinda
This right here I remember breaking out in a cold sweat thinking my cringy posts were somehow still there
Oh really? All I posted were funny Beam Mage time stops in Kirby Clash but I'm glad they are preserved.
Same, I don't want to read it...
Bruh I highly doubt it's there, but the mention of the archive site which I'm just hearing about now, terrifies me 💀 if my cringe anime girl art from when I was 12 is still lurking on there somewhere, I may just combust on the spot
"I wish squids were real" is getting put on my tombstone tbh.
This is amazing
@don't be surprised go eat a cactus
the splatoon community still says this to this day😭
it's honestly funny how long lived this joke is/was since it has been made in different forms for years
Loved to see this! It's such a unique and interesting part of Nintendo history and sort of an example when you make the weird blend of something kid-friendly without good moderation.
Ironically Splatoon 2 while having a decent drawing integration system, still feels a bit empty without the full Miiverse experience of Splatoon 1.
@@AlterBridgeJericho Yeah, there was something more magical about the first Miiverse for Splatoon 1…
Maybe because of the “Fresh!” not amounting to anything, I don’t know..
@@Mfenton10 i hope in splatoon 3, the drawing thing gets revamped into something more interactive, at least interactive enough where you can see the amount of freshes on other’s posts, and people had profiles where you could view all their artwork.
Ily chugga
one really cool thing about the miiverse was how integrated the art was into the communication, having a reply function that's basically mspaint is a simple, yet really fun idea
I'm sad the Scribblenauts community wasn't mentioned
That shit had so much lore and a planned PROTEST TO BRING BACK MIIVERSE
completely unrelated, but appreciate the orbulon pfp
I got console banned from Miiverse for making…pretty terrible Caillou drawings
these damn bots
LMAO
thats hilarious
LMAOO
Same but in a different situation. Back then I just feel like I want to draw dragonite from the pokemon card. After it was posted I was banned. I don't think I did anything particularly bad to the drawing or put it in the wrong place to post it. Maybe it could be copyright idk. Rip my old account. Xd
Miiverse was unironically pretty baller
Most underrated feature is the "Yeah" changing depending on the mood of the OP
"My dad just died"
40 Yeahs!
the only proud achievement i have on miiverse was creating an undertale community on one of the barren game forums. undertale had no official association with nintendo back then so i picked like some random air hockey game and i was like "hey everybody lets post undertale stuff here" and it miraculously worked
Blud got no replies 😢
damn that's kinda impressive
You dit it!!
8:34 “if you get banned from Miiverse do you get banned from real life” sure felt that way for me as a kid
Can we just acknowledge how GOOD a lot of the art is real quick? Yeah a lot of it was cringy, but wow
Yeah, there's a LOT of talent here, actually...
Especially considering that they're using a fucking touch screen to draw it
@@seasaltsky i think the wiiu had a stylus (also this is off topic but I like your zero pfp)

Companies have tried so many times to make the safe and wholesome social media for kids, but they underestimate how feral kids can be and they'll always find a way to express it no matter how much you censor
It's like the internet equivalent of little kids brutally torturing their toys tbh
Bretta :DD
@@Rainygirl3100 I imagine them more like indoor play areas
@@yeethittter1285 I like this analogy. Meeting your platonic soulmate in a thread or an online game and then never seeing them after that is basically the equivalent of when you'd promise a kid at the McDonald's playplace to both come tomorrow to play together and then never see that kid again.
God this brought back a forgotten memory of the only time I ever got temporarily banned from Miiverse. Some girl I came across had made a post where she wrote the word "banana" while holding her stylus in her mouth. I thought it was funny so I did the same thing. This girl then got mad that I was copying her, doxxed my username to her friends or followers or whatever, and I guess either she reported me or her friends did and I got a ban. Man, the drama of 10 year olds is strange.
Yep
But you couldn’t post pictures on the Miiverse…
@@Doppel_A oh the posts weren't pictures, they were doodles
Man, Miiverse drama was great. I remember making a bunch of "Love Wins" posts for Splatoon back in 2015, and one of them was a visual pun where I just replaced the name of the winning Turf War team with "Love" so it was something along the lines of [LOVE 73%/BAD GUYS 27%]. Then on the top I had written "Who won?" Just a simple, cute post for a nice day.
This somehow led to me getting DMs from a 23-year-old inquiring who the "bad guys" are and something about a government. All written in the most pretentious, Redditor-smelling inflection, of course. I think their Mii had spiky black hair and a smirk, too. Truly the visage of somebody who knows the perfect place to start political debates.
she had orbiters on miiverse 💀💀💀
the "ok fine i'm a homosexual" and three people giving it a "yeah" at 5:32 is sending me
I'm glad people approved being gay/admitting you're gay online and inside of a video game console.

God I remember back when Miiverse was a thing! I used to draw Hamilton fanart on there and then have adults yell at me for drawing Hamilton fanart on a Nintendo site, ah memories.
thats amazing do u remember what community u posted in?
@@sora_animates_sometimes I believe under The Legend of Zelda The Windwaker, they had a mailing thing where you could also share drawings right from that game. If it’s not that then it was most likely just in a general Nintendo community. I did check a few months ago and my work was put up on the way back machine and the miiverse archive if you were curious haha 😂
From someone who started Miiverse in 2012 as a roleplaying anime kid and ended it in 2017 as a “miiverse artist” I can safely say that while that website was doomed to fail it definitely did have a certain quality to it that could never be replicated. I’m grateful for all those summer dog days as a young teen that I got to blow away on this site, and I’ll probably still remember it when I’m 70
So many people did art I just role played lol
Honestly same… I love how it was generally more positive than today’s social media and it was constantly trying to shove political messages down your throat.
Honestly I miss those days as a young creepypasta fan who lord knows how long my roleplays were. What I'd give to reread those roleplays again
I have Miiverse to thank for me even being a digital artist at all. Making Miiverse posts for Splatoon and watching them pop up in the plaza remains one of my favorite memories period. My days as Brown Bat the meme-posting Aerospray main somehow led to me going to college for animation, and that's just funny to me.
The RPs were fun too, because it was so dang easy to derail them. Me and some other blokes had a jolly ol' time going into the UA-cam Community, notifying others of any interesting-looking RPs to invade, and then just loading them with insanity.
I think my favorite thing is that these would often just be B-plots, so it didn't really impede on the OP's setting too much while still garnering some responses. Props to Luna the catgirl OC for managing to escape Little Mac's apartment fire as a divine sea jelly attempted to unlock their "hidden soul of a ceiling fan," that one still lives in my head rent-free all these years later.
bruh the just thinking about it being summer as a kid and chilling on my wii u makes me feel happy
I remember when Nintendo put a Miiverse stage in Smash WiiU. They almost IMMEDIATELY banned it from online play due to how the background was composed of actual Miiverse posts
@theveritastape My favourite was the Mario Maker Stage. All the chaotic randomness of Smash, none of the BS :D
@theveritastape I like looking in the rooms in that stage
the sinjin weston appearance is delightful

Fun fact, Miiverse is largely what made me an artist and writer. Eight years later and I've won cash prizes in competitions all because little kid me wanted to draw and RP her FNAF ocs on an obscure Nintendo social media. Good times.
I'm surprised you didn't say "Miimories" instead. It would have fit the naming convention Nintendo used and still have been a pun. It was a Miissed opportunity.

I would love to hear you talk about the really weird situation that happened on Tumblr when everyone freaked out that the last season of Sherlock was so bad and it lead to people coming up with conspiracies that there was a secret good 4th Sherlock episode and all of the bad episodes were just part of the “experience” because they couldn’t bear to think that the show really just wasn’t that good lmao
Sarah Z did a video about that! It’s really good and kind of wild to watch as someone who knew nothing about that going in xD
I would suggest watching Sarah Z’s video about it

Ahh miiverse posts. Missed out on the infamous “I wish squids were real” post in the Splatoon community which had some real star submissions lmao
it was in the video
The fact I recognize some of these people or even talked to them is so crazy.
A typical miiverse relationship is unironically a comfort series to me and I can’t stop referencing it to this day
liek if you cry every tiem 😫
Oooohhh I love those videos
Me too, my friend and I reference it in pretty much every conversation 🤣
I unironically liked to share my draws on the platform, despite their unhinged nature, the feedback i used to get, while not very much, at least it was positive, and the gamepad was pretty comfortable for drawing stuff overall. Good Times.
Your drawings where the best 💙ヾ(•ω•`)o
I was your fan lol
My heart sunk the moment I found out Archiveverse existed. Somewhere out there, obnoxious 12 year old me's posts still exist. My shitty drawings, obnoxious trolling, overall unpleasantness...immortalized. Thanks for the nightmares! :D Also, shocked Mii King was never mentioned in this video, I remember him being one of the most infamous trolls on the site (even though I doubt it was always the same person). I still joke about "be about the green guy" every chance I get.
mii king is an underrated troll. im surprised people fell for it. Remember to always stay on topic
i looked up my old posts and they were fucking hilarious! im so glad she covered that site cuz i didnt know about it.
I didn't know miiverse was archived and I just had a laugh looking at my old acc cause there's just a tposing looking makar and the caption is just "makar is ascending to a higher plane" 😭😭 I miss miiverse sm. I remember going to the smash / UA-cam communities cause there were so many people just posting drawings there, really nice ones.. well guess there's still splatoon :'l
Oh god you n' me both. I fear of looking at my old accounts for fear of second-hand embarrassment.
"Hey all, Izzy here"
This just seems very Scott adjacent and I am HERE for it
OH MY GOD MIIVERSE. That’s how I met my best friend! I used to be a HARDCORE Pokémon artist/roleplayer on it. I never got too popular but I loved roleplaying as my old edgy ocs with my friends. I don’t talk to any of those friends except for my best buddy, who I’ve known for like…. 8 years now. Miiverse was genuinely such a big part of my childhood.
Also my most yeahed post was just a bunch of scribbles and “my god!” In the corner. I still don’t know why I made it I don’t remember WHEN I made it

8:23 I think the reason why the Luigi U community was so infamous was when that big update hit Miiverse, in order to post something on communities, you had to have the game and be on said game in order to post (I think, if someone could help me remember this it would mean a lot), there were a couple of exceptions to that whole thing though, with the Luigi U community being one of them
it's bcuz nslu didn't have the redesign format, it was still the old format where posts n drawings were all in the same section
miis on the wii: "I am so very customizable yes"
miitopia for switch: *"hold my mario"*
Miitopia on the 3ds also improved on the base miis at the time, since it added more hair and eye colors

i don’t think there’s a lot you could uncover with this, but i spent a huge amount of time on flipnote hatena and colors! 3d, primarily because of the community aspects of them! flipnote is just straight nostalgia with Increeedible talent that you can still see today. it also faced an unfortunate shutdown, and then colors, i actually remember using it to roleplay creepypasta characters under posts all the time and look at fnaf fanart which sounds like something you’d enjoy to dive into!
oh my god, she summoned chuggaconroy. that’s basically the Nintendo seal of approval on youtube, in my opinion
Ah Yes! I remember creating a Splatoon OC where her whole gimmicks is that she speak Japanese and no one knows what she’s saying.
I was so proud of this creation that I went to the Japanese Splatoon community and grab a random Japanese girl to show her my creation. Best part is she actually like her and draw Fan art of her on every post that have her.
I miss her everyday!
I once met someone using the safe octo hacks and posting pictures them on the miiverse. they were really humble, hope theyre doing well.
@@lucasnanami Safe Octo hacks?
I’ll always think of the day Iwata died and Miiverse and Splatoon were painted top to bottom in mourning and celebration of his life. That day sucked but everyone was together about it in some way, y’know?
Or when the entire INTERNET exploded after the late Queen Elizabeth 2 died.
I'm 26 years old now and I'm still laughing so hard I'm in tears at the recap of bizarre posts/forums. I remember this mess that was the "Miiverse" FAR too well, and you captured it perfectly. 😂

Every time someone mentions Miitomo I feel a tinge of sadness. Never bothered with Miiverse but I was aware that Miitomo was chaotic as well so that's why I joined.
I miss the photo collabs oh so dearly. From back and forth scenarios to pictures full of many miis just vibing. It was a fun, wholesome and silly time. Yeah, there was the Alice situation but they didn't bother me and, far as I remember, I was on the side of the app that rarely mentioned em.
I wish all the best to old Miitomo friends and fellow users!
I’m so glad I’m the only one who gets depressed whenever Miitomo is brought up. It was my favorite app of all time, and I actually spent real life money on it 😭 I loved how we were allowed to swear and hearing the miis actually speak and read out our messages (and emojis,) was the absolute best.
Sad it’s over but I’m happy it happened I guess lmao
@@jewelxiat THE EMOJIS. YES!!
One post that will always be in my memories was where someone, with a picture they made, said something about Donald Trump marrying his grandma or something and my sibling responded "I'll pray for her" with some other words in a goofy joking way with so many emojis between words and the sounds made it so funny. Especially the siren and trumpet spamming. Truly wonderful memories.

the only thing nintendo still has that can even be likened to the miiverse is the drawing feature in splatoon 2. miiverse posts were a pretty big part of the first game, with people in the hub world having posts above their heads and drawing posts becoming graffiti in multiplayer maps. they carried on the feature to the second game, but only the drawing aspect, text posts were removed. there's a community for the splatoon 2 "plaza posts" as well, but it's way smaller than miiverse obviously.
“If there’s a way, there’s a complaint “ is my motto
there’s also something like miiverse in super mario maker 2
Splatoon 2 is the only reason I have a Twitter, and I'm never looking back at that mental asylum again. I really wish we simply had an un-Twitter where we could just look at the funni Sploon posts. Kinda like Miipedia but for Splet.
Gosh I miss Miiverse. I had nothing but good experiences on there and really loved seeing people's comments and drawings while playing Nintendo Land, Splatoon and Mario Maker. As an artist I loved seeing what I could do with the limitations of the drawing feature and I even had a couple posts blow up! It made my day back then as it's probably the most exposure my art ever got. Good memories 😌
This made me super nostalgic for Flipnote Hatena... you should totally do a video on that if its something you're interested in! I played it when i was 10 years old and now I'm pursuing an animation degree 🙃
the voice actor had me ROLLING at 5:58 "don't just yeah it"💀
The reason why the New Super Luigi U community was filled with off topic posts is due to it being one of the few communities not being affected by the redesign in 2015
what did the redesign do specifically?
I think I hold the record for the longest going roleplay on Miiverse, called the FirstPrize RP. It was going on long before the redesign and kept going through tens of discussion pages. It helped me make a whole group of friends I'd never find otherwise. We joke about how awful Miiverse is but it truly had a good impact on thousands, myself included.
What was FirstPrize even ABOUT?!
Ahh Miiverse, my first social media site. Huge impact on me. I loved drawing on my 3ds and well, I've... seen some weird shit on there, too... Even as a 13 years old in 2017(the year I started on there and the year it sadly ended). It definately inspired me to get serious with my art and now I draw on a daily basis and I still think about my days in Miiverse, whether good or bad.
Ik I made a Midna mii because at the time, she was my high time obsession. I honestly miss it
I DIDN’T THINK YOU WOULD COVER THE MIIVERSE CLONES
Closedverse was an unfortunate part of my young teenage years, it was just drama after drama in there. Overall majority of the people I met where awful people or just edgy, but in a way im glad it existed because it was my first time on the actual internet with a computer and have formed friendships that I still have today.
Most of us were kids who had no idea what we said could be harmful. I was a former user on cv and oasis. Im glad it’s gone. Giving 2 teenagers to control an environment of 10,000 users in their teens or preteens on paper and in real life doesn’t work out. I’m glad you were able to get something out but having the memories of the shitty things Ive said are forever there.
If you don't look back at your past self and cringe it means that you're not self aware so don't worry about it this just means that you're better person now. c:
I never actually had a Wii u but I spent a lot of time on hatena flipnote studio for the dsi and I'm ancient so I grew up on newgrounds making Flash cartoons (that browser extension that just got officially discontinued this last year) and trust me whatever stuff is making you feel bad about yourself that you posted on the Miiverse doesn't hold a candle to the horrible toxic shit that we all did on newgrounds and deviant art back in the early 2000s lol. I've never used that username again
@@wearecoterminous I should’ve mentioned, but I was also a shitty person in CV. I was one of the edgy users, because back then my idiot teenage self though that being Edgy/offensive = funny
But obviously I learned that it wasn’t and I don’t do that kind of stuff anymore.
I remember closedverse it ruined me who were you if i may ask
@@soliazo we all were edgy pre teens and teens. it sucked. i was a shit person and i will never forgive myself for it
To an incredibly lesser extent, this kind of stuff remains on Nintendos current online platforms. Apparently people talk to each other using the stage maker in super smash bros ultimate. One time I saw one that asked another user to make a vore stage. Kids will be kids, I guess.

I must admit, back in the day I did do the 'Yeah's to the random posts and artwork. I can't remember if i had posted anything on the Miiverse, but this whole thing also reminds me of the WiiU/Switch game Splatoon/Splatoon 2 where there was like 2 types of people; The artists and the memers, sometimes you'd see a post in Splatoon with both art and meme aesthetics.
The person who VA’ed for Emilio sounds so much like Shadow that I did a double take. It catches me off guard every time I watch this video 😂
im supposed to be finishing overdue assignments but cant stop that izzzy grind 💪💪💪💪
same bro
hi fam
same man
You can't stop the grindset
can’t diss the izzzy grind but you should probably do your work
19:25 I was actually a user of closedverse at the time, I also remember that Arian allegedly ip blocked the entire country of France after he saw a handful of people RPing in french
Holy shit i remember that. Bro the entire site went into chaos when arian was outed, last time people were posting that much was during the superbowl
I had completely forgotten about the whole France thing but I think he did end up blocking French IPs. There was a French community too at one point iirc.
@@xiii-hearts there was but he deleted it after blocking all of france
15:27 I cannot believe how fucking hard I cried when I saw one of the designers for the game tweeting about it and THIS photo came up
You know things get bad when even world-famous Shigeru Miyamoto, the self-proclaimed dad of Mario and Luigi, has to play referee on his own app.
5:19 I knew I recognised king Weston's voice!
OMG i thought i was going crazy 😭
Oh god nostalgia, Miiverse was the first place I had a pretty decent following online! I was pure cringe but God do I miss it lol

It's here finally.
I unfortunately never got into miiverse, but this honestly reminds me a lot of Flipnote Hatena, which was one of my most fond social media experiences.
izzy should definitely cover this!! i had so much fun on flipnote hatena, id spend hours watching sonic amvs lol
I miss flipnote hatena so much !!!!!!! Such a vivid experience
omg yes!!
Wait, what? Flipnote Hatena had social media functions? Like what?
@@ginandromeda1618 It was very limited, but you could give likes and follows. There really wasn't much more than that, though.
18:13 wholesome...
So true...
As someone who was super big into miiverse and even saw many an attempt to clone or revive it seeing a video like this by one of my favorite creators is wild LOL
I miss miiverse but I miss the miiverse that was a kid friendly site by nintendo where kids made goofy stupid posts
...many an attempt to revive miiverse did not have that and in fact were dens of very horrible stuff :(
Rest in peace, Miiverse
HONESTLY i think the closest thing we'll ever get to miiverse on the switch is the splat plaza in splatoon. i wish theyd add miiverse but its highly unlikely😭
I’m actually part of a team creating an MMO and we’ve decided against having a drawing feature PRECISELY because of what happened on miiverse
Sounds like commie propaganda to me
It'd be great, that drawing feature is what makes Splatoon unique
Its like a meme/art community ontop of a game
when really that should be why you put the drawing feature in
@@feykingjulian it’d just be so hard to moderate
@@Stereo6400 Do it, no balls...
My favorite memory is coming across a post somebody had left on a Mario 3D world level. It was a child's scrawl and it said Gregory is stupid... Not exactly sure why, but that still makes me laugh to this day
Dang, I remember using Miiverse quite a bit once I got access to it on my 3DS and later when I got a Wii U.
I had absolutely no idea how unhinged it was until this video. If Miiverse was a country and the main chaos was the largest city it feels like I grew up in the rural countryside with no idea of what was going on. It acted more like a little gaming diary for me rather than a forum.
Nintendo shutting down and abandoning online features is such a sad reality rn. The pokemon XY/ORAS Global Trade System is overrun with hackers, Mii Plaza not being on Switch, Miiverse shutdown, now having to pay to play online...
Yeah, I miss when online features were free. I already pay to have regular old computer/phone internet, I'm not paying for a special form of internet.
@@hawktalon7890 paying 60s for a Nintendo game just to pay another 60 to play with friends, it sucks so bad :(
@@sep_timius It's borderline highway robbery, in my opinion.
@@sep_timius but you don’t pay another 60 quid though…
@@meta9492 Nintendo uses a subscription service on the switch, which is what i am referring to. So yes, if you want to keep playing online, a lot of games require you to pay even more money than you purchased the game for to keep the subscription
I remember playing Miitomo and having a bunch of people hate an “Alice” Mii that was inspired by Alice in Wonderland. They would legit hard bully people who even dared to post an image with that girl.
I got really sad when the game got shut down, but now I see why.
I remember playing Bravely Default and often checking out the Miiverse for that game. There was an artist on there that did really cool drawings of Edea and I was so impressed by it! Kind of sad that it's all gone
6:20 I KNEW I RECOGNISED THAT VOICE ITS WESTON
Who?
The Kirby highschool girl person was such an egg. I hope her transition is going well 💖
I've read in other comments that the person who made the "I'm a straight man but damn luigi is hot" comment came out as trans as well. Good for her tbh.
The miiverse stage on smash bros was incredible, just random ass miiverse posts floating around in the background
Are they still there if you buy the physical game?
God, i LOVED miiverse - brings back memories.
Mainly used it for pokemon trading and staying connected to other competitive players ^^
i also still have blurry memories of joining one of these clans (the ones that wanted you to put their [TAG] in front of your username) - it was a pokemon clan and the way it worked was that people could challenge people from other clans to a "duel", sometimes even betting pokemon, and if someone lost and didnt give away what they bet, their clan leaders would throw them out of their clans - there was some "code of honor".
(though "throwing someone out of your clan" was basically impossible since it wasnt some chatroom you had to be invited to - it was just the person putting the tag. so if the person didnt remove the tag... yea..)
It was a different time, the logistics didnt really work out, but it was nice feeling like being a part of a group. Wont forget miiverse anytime soon.
I literally met my partner of 6 years and some of my (still) best friends on that platform. Even with all the cringe, it still holds a warm place in my heart. Wouldn’t be where I am now without that platform.
I was too “old” for Miiverse but in the mid 2000s, AOL had its own thing also called Mii or Mee World or something and I feel like I’m the only person who remembers it
Was it wee world?? Taylor Riley did a video on it and it seems really similar time period
You mean WeeWorld? I had a WeeWorld account when I was like 11-13 and spent most of that time being groomed by old men on the site. It was a wild, lawless place.
oh i used to be all over something called meez? weeworld? something. there were two with similar naming conventions, one had short almost south park proportioned avatars, the other one was later with 3d avatars lmao
@@mxsmer weeworld had the 2d short avatars, idk about meez. weeworld was my shit back in the day lol (along with club penguin)
@@angelferrer3636 WeeWorld honestly feels like a fever dream now, like most of middle school feels to me these days, but my god what I do remember of it that place was like the Wild West with how unmonitored and unregulated it was. One friend on there committed suicide, another one died in a car accident and I was apparently important enough to her that a family friend called my number after getting it from her phone to tell me what happened, there were always old men pretending to be teenage emo boys on there to get with underage girls, lots of talk of sex, drug abuse, self harm, etc. it was crazy. The fact that a site like this existed and I was allowed on it to talk about this kind of stuff with little to no monitoring from site moderators or my parents at 11-13 years old was insane.
oh man, miiverse. i was extremely active on miiverse when i was 15-16; i definitely remember posting edgy drawings in the youtube community and i would talk to other kids about art and original characters. i didn't know about the bootleg miiverse sites but i'm really not surprised that the head moderator of closedverse was like That. describing miiverse as "children and trolls" is a great way to put it but unfortunately having those two groups together also means that a lot of children were actively getting made fun of and even worse, there were kids on miiverse who were exposed to things that they definitely should not have been. i have a lot of great memories of miiverse but looking back on it is definitely a big realization of "oh wow, things were a lot worse than i remember"
This gives me a similar energy as to what Kongregate chat servers were for my childhood and adolescence. Kong wasn't quite as much since you could only chat and not post drawings and such but similarly to MiiVerse, it was intended as a way to chat about games and yet it quickly turned into utter nonsense full of trolling, spamming, "wars" between chat rooms, role plays, and stupid nonsense.
Don't know if I ever used the miiverse absolutely loved this video
I would love another miiverse but I feel like this generation could not handle it it would be chaos
We can still be hoping on Tomodachi life though!!
YES I LOVE ITTT
I really hope it will be a new Tomodachi Life game, I love the game so much
Tbf Miitopia is such a good successor, but Tomodachi should also get a remaster on the switch
Edit: just realised they could probably include all the customization features that Miitopia had incredibly easily, that would be so cool to see in tomodachi.
