Nintendo’s widely anticipated first smartphone app has gone live. This is a first step for Nintendo, walking you through the process of creating a personal avatar, similar to the process you may have gone through on your Wii or Wii U. Your Mii avatar represents you on the Miitomo social network.
During the setup, if you answer questions, you’ll gain Miitomo coins, which you can use to buy in-app merch, as well as play some built-in games. To me, this feels (and sounds) like a genuine Nintendo DS experience, on a much better screen, but without the built-in control pad.
So far, so good. Looking forward to more. Here’s a link to the US version.
account creation failed for me.
Somebody refresh my memory, please. Wasn’t this the company whose CEO arrogantly and repeatedly dismissed the idea of developing for smartphones, just a few years ago?
Why? I don’t get this. I mean, I prefer actual Nintendo AAA title games, not Avatars or whatever that Mittomo thing is.
It’d be nice if they bring actual AAA titles.
Yes, I remembered that.
Lol, Iwata (God rest his soul) was probably the least arrogant CEO of any large company on earth.
Baby steps. 🙂
