Nintendo announced the release of a new mobile app: Miitomo, a communication app featuring Miis. Like the Miis you create on other Nintendo consoles, this Mii is fully customizable and will sync to the newly developed My Nintendo account which will store all purchase records, play records and your member profile. The My Nintendo account will be accessible from Facebook, Twitter, and Google in addition to traditional username and password. This will allow users to purchase Nintendo titles from a phone or computer for later download onto a Wii U or 3DS.
Users will only be able to communicate and share personal information with "friends". Information to personal questions such as "What is your hobby?" will automatically be shared between friends. Nintendo calls these, 'friendly communication starters' meant to facilitate conversations for those who are less willing to send messages.
Along with the introduction of their first app, Nintendo has also announced that they will be introducing a point system that will allow content and coupons to be purchased through points gained by playing and purchasing Nintendo games.
This will be the first smart-phone app released by Nintendo, although they also announced the upcoming release of 5 additional smart-phone titles by March 2017. Nintendo's first app might not have been what any of us were hoping for, but it seems to be the foundation for a bigger Nintendo universe.
