Nintendo revealed Miitomo, their first app for mobile devices, which launches next month. From now through launch day, anyone with mobile devices can register in order to be notified once the App is made available. Interested gamers can sign up for the new Nintendo account right here.
Those who create their Nintendo Account before the launch of Miitomo will also receive Platinum Points for the new My Nintendo rewards program, which will launch alongside with Miitomo.
Miitomo is a free-to-start social experience that uses Nintendo’s Mii characters and lets you spark conversations with your friends in a whole new way, which first debuted with the launch of Wii Sports in 2006. More than 200 million Mii characters exist across Nintendo systems worldwide.
To get started, users can quickly create a Mii character to act as their social go-between, customising its facial features, eyes, hair, as well as voice and personality. Users can also use the camera of their smartphone or tablet to snap a photo that will be translated into Mii form, or they can simply import their Mii from the Wii U or 3DS systems using a QR Code. Users can set their own style with shorts, pants, socks, shirts, shoes, accessories, hats and more such as outlandish outfits. The more players uses their Miitomo app, they’ll earn coins which can in turn be exchanged for outfits. Or you can use real world money to obtain Miitomo coins.
Miitomo creates conversations and turns discussions into a form of play by prompting users to answer all kinds of questions. Answers to questions will then be shared among friends, sparking interesting conversations and discovering new things about your friends.
The App will launch in the following countries on day 1: UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Luxemborg, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, U.S, Canada. The App will release in additional countries within 2016. And will support: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Japanese.
