Wii U’s Miiverse is the future of games
For many, Wii U’s Miiverse features seem like yet another annoying attempt to shove social features where they don’t belong — a distraction from what should be important and what developers should focus on, gameplay.
Why do video games need a Twitter-style feed for posting messages? Why does it need to be injected into games, letting others invade your game with their comments? Why does Wii U need to follow this trend of making everything social? Why do we need Miiverse?
Because we don’t enjoy media in a vacuum anymore, and soon, we won’t enjoy games that way either.
