Speaking about the highs and lows of Miiverse, which was launched in 2012, Tom Phillips of Eurogamer told the BBC: "It was chaotic but a moderately successful experiment in creating a social network.

"The highlight was some of the incredible art - it was certainly the best of what Miiverse had to offer - but it was always a headache for Nintendo to police.

"Some of the moderation was entrusted to an algorithm you could draw a penis shape and it would be deleted."
