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.

Well, there goes my chance of another post on the portal. Erm, I mean,
I never really had a chance to use this app because at the time, the mobile device I had was incompatible with the app. So, I can't say I'm exactly sad about it.

same here.
the worst of all is: we probably didnt miss much, as general opinion goes

Played it when it first came out, but didn't play it for long. There wasn't much to it since it was like a terribly watered down version of Tomodachi life.

Oh, I forgot this existed. I played some Mii RPG game on 3DS, where the Miis you get are randomly generated by the online community. It was pretty fun, and funny as fuck at the random people you'd get. I remember being surprised and laughing for a while when the mayor was Gabe Newell.

It does seem like the powers that be are just done with Mii's altogether. Especially surprising, given that they were shiggy's creation, and his ego gets a lot of pull there.

First problem with Miitomo, was that there was eff all to do on it. It just seemed like it was there to mine survey data from us.

The next problem was that much of the stuff available on it were behind a glorified pachinko machine. And seeing how Konami imploded to chase that niche, any gamers aware of this turn would have a sour taste in the mouth from this method.

It doesn't really suck to see this go. Miitomo was a cool concept, but nobody really used it. I had like two friends who actually had it but that was it. It would've been nice if i didn't actually need friends to use literally the entire thing, but it's whatever. Godspeed Miitomo, you were a cool mobile mii maker.
It was a cool idea but the way Nintendo runs things killed it after a few weeks.

I'm surprised they are doing this already. The app is still so young!
It is young, but like Pokemon GO, terrible management of it and the massive loss of interest and as nobody cares about MyNintendo (for in-game stuff) anymore, it's hardly making any profit. PGO managed to last longer because of the brand, no surprise Miitomo is dying.

My Nintendo will likely get closed once that paid switch online arrives since they keep delaying the Switch part and despite the 3DS having much more content than the Wii U they still offer crap rewards/discounts.

I still wonder what made them get so stingy with the rewards on there... There have hardly been 2-3 rewards even remotely decent!
