Miiverse Coming Soon to Smartphones, PC

During a Miiverse panel at this year's Game Developer's Conference, we were finally given an update on the status of a Miiverse application coming to smartphones and PC. Fans of this Wii U haven for incredible art will be pleased to know that the app will be leaving the confines of Nintendo's newest home console in just a few weeks.

To be a tad more specific, Miiverse producer Kiyoshi Mizuki stated that the app would be available in April or May, though a firm date has yet to be pinned down. As reported earlier, a 3DS version of Miiverse is still in the works, though there's still no word on when it will be ready. Mizuki-san did, however, state that certain existing 3DS titles will not immediately have Miiverse functionality, though he didn't specify which ones.

More Miiverse is definitely a good thing.

It was also revealed that a few more Miiverse updates are on the way. Soon you'll actually be able to link out to specific parts of a game in a post, so that your followers can easily access whatever part you're talking about (presumably only if they've gotten that far). You'll also be able to follow and even reply to other users from within a game, rather than having to open the Miiverse app.

What do you folks think? Will you use Miiverse more when it's more easily accessible? Are you excited to have access to all that groovy fan art on the go? Let us know in the comments section below!
