Miitomo, Nintendo's Mii-based mobile app has already been announced to be shutting down later this month, however, in a final notice to players in the game, Nintendo announced something new. At the end of May, Nintendo will be creating a web browser application that will allow players to make and edit Mii characters. This will let users who don't use Nintendo consoles create and link a Mii to their Nintendo Account. If you already have a Mii tied to an account, you'll be able to edit it simply by visiting Nintendo's site when the feature goes live. Those that have Miitomo downloaded will have until May 9th to link their Mii, in which afterwards the service will shut down, while Nintendo will spend a day on maintenance to migrate the Mii characters.

As previously announced, the Miitomo app will no longer be available as of May 9, 2018 at 12 AM (PDT).

If you link a Nintendo Account to Miitomo, you will be able to use your Miitomo Mii characters on your Nintendo Account. We will also provide the folowing option to create and edit Mii characters after Miitomo service has ended.

With the end of Miitomo service, it will no longer be possible to create or edit Mii characters using Miitomo, but we are planning to add a feature in late May 2018 which will enable you to create and edit Mii characters for your Nintendo Account via your web browser of choice.

In order to add this feature, we will be performing system migration maintenance from the end of Miitomo service until late May 2018. During this period, you will not be able to change your Mii character set to your Nintendo Account (including clothes and accessories).

Additionally, changes made to the Mii character for your Nintendo Network ID will not be applied to your Nintendo Account Mii character.

You will be able to continue using your Miitomo Mii character as the Mii character for your Nintendo Account after the termination of Miitomo service, but you will not be able to use the clothes and accessories you had set in Miitomo after maintenance is complete. (Any clothes and accessories you had already set will be removed.)

We apologize for any inconvenience.

While it's nice to have this available as a convenience for those who still care about their Miis, it probably won't be the same without the Mii Maker music playing in the background.

I never liked Mii. However, good for Mii fan, thought.

I have some AMAZING miis...

Tiny Face Guy, Mega Face Guy, Medium Face Guy, spengrob (it looks like that scene from spongebob where he gives that "I know what you did" look to squidward), Tiny person, "...person?", others....

I always thought that Mii's were kinda dumb, but they somehow capture how a person actually looks... most of the time. It's cool to see them moving this mainstay feature forward though time.

Yes

I smell a "Switch Party"

Xbox avatars are superior...

Anyway, Miitomo was fun, for a week..

Makes mii miss the vote channel.

 

[CathyRina]

the mii's could've been more fun if there were more options to build them

This will let users who don't use Nintendo consoles create and link a Mii to their Nintendo Account.

Why should anyone without a Nintendo console make a Nintendo Account to begin with?
Will the Mario Kart for smartphones use them somehow?

Fire Emblem Heroes and Animal Crossing Pocket Camp need them if you want to save your game data. If you're an entirely mobile player, it makes sense.

wasn't there a flash spin-off of this years ago?

 

[RedoLane]

Now we can all request to create mii of each other easily!

 

[LightyKD]

YAY! I love Mii characters.

Funny how Nintendo cares about web browsers that aren't on their own consoles.

I wonder if this will allow us to put symbols in our Mii names...

Just finding it ironic, they won't develop a browser for the Switch and only care about PC browsers? Oh Nintendo.

The Mii in the yellow shirt looks like Gene Belcher.
