Miitomo is a free-to-start mobile title released by Nintendo in March 2016, and is the first game developed by Nintendo to be released for mobile devices. While originally planned for a late 2015 launch, it was delayed to early 2016 for business reasons. Users can preregister for the app by signing up for the Nintendo Account and preregistering on the site service between February 17 and launch; doing so allows users to receive an e-mail notifying them of the app's release and earns Platinum Points for the My Nintendo rewards program.

Gameplay

Miitomo is a social application that allows players to create and customize their own Mii avatars and interact with other players around the world. Players can either create a Mii from scratch, or import one from their Nintendo 3DS or Wii U using a QR code. Users will be given a series of questions by their Miis, and the answers will be shared with their friends, who can then comment on their answers. Players will be able to play in various minigames and search through Miiverse. Miitomo must be connected to the internet, and cannot be used offline. With the Miifotos feature, players can take pictures of their own and other players' Miis and share them on social media.

Although basic functions are available with the free download, items such as clothing for the player's Miis must be purchased using Miitomo coins, which can be obtained via in-game purchases, though there are opportunities to earn Miitomo coins for free.
