What is Archiverse?
Archiverse is a website that allows users to access an archive of Miiverse, a social media platform for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS systems. Miiverse was open from November 18, 2012 to November 8, 2017. This archive stores millions of Miiverse users, posts, drawings, comments, and more, totaling over 17TB of data.
Who runs Archiverse?
Archiverse is currently maintained by Kyle / SuperFX. Archiverse is not associated with Nintendo in any way. You can find a list of people who have allowed Archiverse to come to fruition & supported the project here.
What happened to archiverse.guide?
Archiverse.guide was a site similar to archiverse.app, which allowed users to access the Miiverse archive. The owner of the site, Drastic Actions, was no longer able to maintain it, and thus the site was shut down sometime in 2024. The previous owner has since allowed Kyle / SuperFX use of the Archiverse name, as well as the archiverse.guide domain.
Why run Archiverse?
Miiverse was a pivotal part of many people's experiences when playing on Wii U or Nintendo 3DS systems. Many people, including those who have made Archiverse possible, have fond memories of interacting with friends, sharing fun moments, and looking at absurd interactions on the site. By allowing others to access them easily, we hope that others may find joy in reminiscing over their old profile, discovering new content, or simply checking out a very important part of internet history!
How can I support Archiverse?
Running Archiverse is a bit costly, and relies on contributions from its users to keep running. If you support what Archiverse is doing, you can support us financially by donating at Ko-fi. Alternatively, you can Tweet about Archiverse, star the GitHub repository, Join our Discord server, or tell your friends about Archiverse!
Why don't some of my old posts show up?
Archiverse is made possible from an archive of Miiverse provided by Archive Team. This archive was captured shortly before Miiverse shut down, meaning that some posts made shortly before Miiverse closed are not available to be seen on Archiverse, as they are not in our database. Alternatively, some posts may have been deleted by you or removed by Miiverse moderators before the site was archived. There may be a chance that some replies on posts may have not been fully archived as well.
Can I use Archiverse for personal projects?
Yes! Feel free to use & share screenshots or snippets of Archiverse for personal projects. If you need any assets from the site, you can request them on the Archiverse Discord server.
