Miiverse Has Been Archived After Complete Shutdown
Last year, Nintendo called it quits on the Miiverse, the Wii U and 3DS message board that had drawings, text posts, and screenshots for people to share with fellow owners. Now, fans and engineers have officially archived those bright few years of innocent questions of why can't Metroid crawl.
Lead by Drastic Actions, the full archive is on a website called Archiverse. The entire thing came out to 17 terabytes of data, or 17,000,000 MB, made up of 216,901,986 Replies,133,003,599 Posts, 75,955,135 Screenshots, 72,135,190 Drawings, and 8,278,693 User Profiles.
You can access the website and search through to find all the posts about water you can shake a stick at. Nintendo also had individual profiles available to download, but the deadline for requesting and/or accessing them has passed.
Our Take
It's a shame that nothing has replaced the Miiverse. It wasn't perfect, but it was unique and innocent and naive in its own special way.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
