Nintendo to shut down Miitomo this year

IMG_6544.JPG

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.

I did. It was a phone app that didn't offer much.. Zzzzzz...
I mean. It could have lived some more time.
Especially when you know how mobile games tend to never die, for some reason.

The ones that stay alive are the ones that bring in more money than they really should.

Kind of why I despise the phone market. My coworkers are real big into these games. Which is fine, but when they talk about putting $100 of their paycheck into it I have to question their sanity.

"2018 will be the year of Luigi."
"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."

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 :wacko:

Not even slightly surprised. It was a shallow experience probably used to gain some data from everyone that downloaded it.
One good thing to come out of it is I learned I suck at Zelda Picross :(

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.
