IRL - Can Someone Explain... Miitomo?
38Everyone on Twitter has been rocking the Miitomo scene pretty hard so I had to jump in yesterday and I'm pretty glad that I did - it's ridiculous and largely pointless, but somehow I can't stop!
Add me on Twitter (info below) and then add IRL Nick to your Miitomo friends list!
Also, big thanks to Digital Basement's Zach, his Twitter post asking the question, "Can Someone Explain Mittomo to me?" felt like the right title to use for this video and it might become a series of sorts.

Miitomo (ミートモ Mītomo?) is a free-to-use social networking mobile app developed by Nintendo for iOS and Android devices. The app allows users to converse with friends by answering various questions, and features Twitter and Facebook integration. The app was released in Japan on March 17, 2016, and in the rest of the world on March 31, 2016, launching alongside Nintendo's My Nintendo service. The app can only be used when connected to Nintendo's servers.
Features[edit]
Miitomo is a conversational app where users can communicate with friends by answering questions on various topics, such as favourite foods or current interests. The app was created by a team of Nintendo personnel who also worked on the Nintendo 3DS video game, Tomodachi Life. Similar to that title, players use a Mii avatar which they can create from scratch or obtain from their My Nintendo account or a QR code, and give it a computer generated voice and personality. Users can add friends to Miitomo by communicating directly with their device or by linking the app to their Facebook and Twitter accounts. By tapping their Mii, users can answer various questions which are shared with their friends, while tapping their thought bubble allows them to hear answers from other friends. Users can visit, or be visited by, other friends and are able to answer certain questions that are only shared with a specific friend. Players are also able to take pictures of their Mii, known as MiiFotos, which can be shared with friends as well as posted online.
Performing various actions in the app earns Miitomo Coins, which can also be obtained through in-app purchases. These coins can be spent on various clothing items that can be used to customise the user's Mii. Additional clothing items can be obtained through the Miitomo Drop minigame, which can be played by either spending Miitomo Coins or using Game Tickets earned through play. The app is tied into My Nintendo's rewards scheme, with users able to earn Platinum Points by clearing missions such as changing their outfits daily or linking their accounts.
Development[edit]
Miitomo was initially announced on October 25, 2015. Nintendo partnered with DeNA to leverage their understanding of mobile platforms as part of Nintendo's push for development on mobile devices. The app was first released in Nintendo's home market of Japan on March 17, 2016, and was released worldwide later on March 31, 2016. The app was released alongside the My Nintendo service.
Reception[edit]
In Japan, Miitomo had one million users within three days of its launch, overtaking the instant messager Line as the most downloaded app on the Japanese App Store. In the week after its initial launch, Nintendo's shares grew by eight percent following the success of the app. In less than 24 hours after its launch in the United States, the app also became the most popular one on the App Store.
