Are U excited for Miiverse? Wii are!
Last week, Nintendo of Japan hosted a Nintendo Direct, which focused on Miiverse and a variety of online features for Wii U. While Nintendo of America has yet to host its own streamed broadcast on the subject, it's released a new video that showcases Miiverse, Nintendo Network, and the Wii U Internet Browser, as a follow up to last week'ssummary of WaraWara Plaza and Wii U Chat.

This video, once again hosted by Nintendo of America's Bill Trinen, uses a lot of the same footage from the Japanese Nintendo Direct, but goes a bit more in-depth. You can check it out below:

So... All'a this literally equates to Xbox LIVE (ohai original LIVE team) which is not only free but flat-out better, and with a "3DS" as a controller.
