Trivia

• Including the Wii (Miiverse was not out for that system) The maximum number of Friends have always been 100 for Nintendo systems (tied with PS3 & Xbox 360) & 10x less than the PS4 & the Xbox One (Even though the Wii U is in the same generation as those 2 systems.
• Even though you can friend people on the Wii U version of Miiverse via a button on user's profiles any other method is restricted.
• The fact that the 3DS version has no friending system via Miiverse makes for a very controversial topic & it technically makes the 3DS Friend's List feature "underutilized."
