Nintendo to close Miiverse social network

Nintendo has announced that its Miiverse social network will be closed down on 8 November. Miiverse was launched in 2012 alongside the Wii U games console and could be accessed on the 3DS, but did not appear on the new Nintendo Switch. The social network was notable for the detailed hand-drawn images that were shared by artistic gamers, which would appear within popular titles. Announcing the closure, Nintendo said: "All services offered through Miiverse, including reading and submitting posts and exchanging messages with friends, will no longer be available." Splatoon will no longer show Miiverse drawings in the game menus or within battle stages.
