- this depressed the devs, but they went back to work to revise the speed
- the credit goes to mostly Sotoike and Denyusha

- the Mario Club were testing Miiverse implementation while also testing NSMBU
- a chat room was made in the dev environment in order to get immediate responses

- the team says there's a lot to enjoy for those who aren't actually playing Wii U
- the team hopes Miiverse becomes something akin to a 'cloud game diary'
