Nintendo love?

December 3, 2014 7:34 PM

So hey, any chance we could get Nintendo (Miiverse) IDs for Wii U/3DS users as an option for other networks we use on the profile page?

This is, of course, assuming anyone else on MetaFilter even owns such as a Wii U (in which case: add me as a friend! Doctorfedora! I'm getting Smash Bros. when it comes out here this weekend and everything!)

Hey, so typically you make these requests over here on the wiki. And there's some info there about what kind of sites we can add. Here are the basics:

* The service must be a social network where other MetaFilter members can join and connect with you.
* The service must have a page that is a close approximation of "you" in the system. A profile page or a stream of your output is required.
* The service and linked page must be human-readable (no RSS) and available to the public without a login.

Does Nintendo have a page like this somewhere on the Web? If so, we can get it added. Just add a link to your profile at the wiki and we'll get it added next time we go through those. We try to do it once a month or so.

http://miiverse.nintendo.net/users/DoctorFedora is what I'd link to, in my case. Would you consider it a close approximation of "me" in the system?

Yep, looks great to me.

I've been meaning to add a suggestion for Garmin Connect to the SocialStuffs wiki page; so, done, and I added also DoctorFedora's Miiverse suggestion.

I just added Miiverse to the list. Also: Ello, Storify, Garmin Connect, and bandcamp for fans. (We already had bandcamp for artists.)

(Garmin Connect still seems to be missing?)

(Yeah, Garmin Connect is listed as current in the Wiki, but not present in the pull-down menu on the edit profile page. The other 4 additions are present.)

In reference to whether MeFi members have Wii Us, I can point you to the previous account info swap thread.
