Nintendo will be shutting down the online service to one of its first ever mobile apps, Miitomo, later this year. Launched in March 2016, Miitomo was a phone app that utilized Nintendo's Mii characters in a social game. On May 9, 2018, the game will entirely cease to function. Clothing you've unlocked will not be usable, any and all friend answers you've received will be deleted, photos you've saved to the app will be deleted unless saved to your device, and sale of premium Miitomo coins will stop. Daily login bonuses will continue up until the game stops functioning, so players can still play the minigames before May 9th.

It is a shame they're not keeping the Miis. I liked the Fire Emblem Heroes clothes.

 

[SquidgyBean]

its a shame, i wanted Miitomo to do really well. I loved the dressing my Mii up and that was about it. I tried to keep playing but it was just boring. maybe they should implement the style/features from miitomo into the switch and ds.

Tried it, got bored of it, deleted it.

Nothing of value was lost.

 

[Bubsy Bobcat]

lmao i remember only playing this twice and completely forgot it existed. good riddance bad rubbish.

 

[Owenge]

Never heard of this app.... soooo no real loss

 

[goldensun87]

Never even heard of it, so I could care less.

Going to miss this. I know I have played hours for that Metroid skin!

EDIT: I can't play the game anymore? Error 801-1102-0000

Wish they got rid of all Mii all together. I seriously can’t be the only one being so annoyed by them on the WiiU...

And there it goes one huge part of the rewards catalogue of MyNintendo

when one puts several hundred dollars into buying a console, they are putting money into a physical device which has a valid, long lasting, real world use. when one puts a hundred dollars into microtransactions, they are simply burning that money for immaterial virtual nothingness. Whether you or I deem that purchase useful or worth the money is meaningless. On one hand, I get a rather physical piece of technology capable of performing fast calculations and rendering things in real time, in the other we have pixels on the screen.

And what is that real world use that you talk of again? I don't see any real world use you can get from spending hundreds of hours in Skyrim, Call of Duty and any other game for that matter...

"Mr. Iwata explained that Luigi appeared in Mario Bros. when it was first released on July 14, 1983. Since it had been 30 years since Luigi's first appearance, it was decided that 2013 would be "The Year of Luigi". The first third of the Nintendo Direct was dedicated to soon-to-be-released games related to Luigi."

The Year of Luigi 2? Anyways, let's not get off-topic.

I swear, if this means Nintendo is killing Miis soon, I will... Do something.

But you probably own several consoles that costed you a few hundred dollars each and they question your sanity for putting a few hundred dollars into a new console when you already own several others that play similar games...

I guess if you really enjoy something and have the disposable income to invest on it, you have found your value in the enjoyment you get, some people dont like videogames and rather watch movies, doesnt mean they should judge and question your sanity for dropping whatever ammount you do on your PC/console videogames.

You are doing to them exactly the same people (who thino videogames are useless) do to us when you judge them for playimg what they enjoy and spending whatever ammount they do

Sorry, no. I'm not. That isn't even a valid argument, to begin with. I own a few consoles, yeah. It's like spending a hefty amount of money on phones or tablets to play those money pits.

Most of these "successful" mobile games require one of two play styles. You either grind countless hours, or you pay to advance. Guess which one is the more popular route? This is exactly why Battlefront 2 received a lot of flack. That and you're already spending $60 for a game.. You're free to spend your money how you choose. Doesn't make you smart to pour money into a game that does nothing for you.

They have miis in the switch. If miis were being killed off, why would it be in a new game console?

 

[emmanu888]

All i can really hope is for the customization to be part of a new concept. I redownloaded the app on my tablet to save
the Miifotos i had and realized my Mii looks super girly for a boy ever since the app launched two years ago.

And what is that real world use that you talk of again? I don't see any real world use you can get from spending hundreds of hours in Skyrim, Call of Duty and any other game for that matter...

the real world use is that it physically does things. whether what it does matters, again, is meaningless. The difference is between paying several hundred dollars on bits and bytes, versus spending several hundred dollars on a physical real world object that has a physical use. whether or not you consider the use of that worthwhile, purchasing a physical object is objectively more meaningful than spending it on what is quite literally nothing.

And on this day, not a single fuck was given.
