Barely sneaking in under the self-imposed deadline.

Following a year of speculation, My Nintendo and Miitomo will launch outside of Japan this Thursday.

The communication app quickly rose to the top of the App Store and Google Play rankings for its category upon its Japanese launch. An update is planned for the app to add additional features, but it appears the 1.0 app will launch first.

The My Nintendo launch will bring with it a web version of the eShop that will push games directly to Wii U and 3DS systems. A limited version of the web shop exists for first party titles, but this will expand the options to 3rd party titles as well.

Should be fun...

About time. I've been using the web version of the PSN Store for years, and I've wanted an equivalent for Nintendo since the actual device-based stores are so slow & awful. Hopefully this means there's a "Cart" system now so you don't have to purchase & download every item one at a time.

Big day!

Watch it be just getting a code to put in the system's eShop :p

EDIT: Oh, just got to the press release. Hmm, "directly sent to the system."

STILL waiting for Flipnote 3D, yeah the game with literally sentences worth of text yet was released in Japan in July 2013. The only explanation at this point is that Nintendo just does not care.

It looks like only digital purchases will earn points with MyNintendo. This is what I expected, and yet still somehow disappointing. This already looks worse than Club Nintendo.

Yeah! I'm excited to spread gossip about my friends.

nickmitch · « **Reply #7 on:** March 30, 2016, 11:47:54 AM »

Is this app launching at midnight or sometime during the day? Wondering if I should stay up late.

Nemo · « **Reply #8 on:** March 31, 2016, 12:03:32 AM »

It's 12:02am EST and no Miitomo.

I declare Nintendo's mobile presence to be an utter failure.

Nemo · « **Reply #9 on:** March 31, 2016, 12:45:52 AM »

According to the miitomo site ( https://miitomo.com/en/ ) the game launches 1am PST (or 4am EST).

I'm going to bed.

TOPHATANT123 · « **Reply #10 on:** March 31, 2016, 06:56:10 AM »

Flipnote 3d get! My Nintendo is up now and seems to work pretty well.

nickmitch · « **Reply #11 on:** March 31, 2016, 08:44:50 AM »

It's live in the iOS App Store!

Soren · « **Reply #12 on:** March 31, 2016, 09:39:39 AM »

Since I can't add you guys from my NNID friends list, add me on twitter(@j_laeme) so I can add you to Miitomo (damn Nintendo, see how crazy that sounds?)

nickmitch · « **Reply #13 on:** March 31, 2016, 09:57:26 AM »

Ditto @nickmitch89

(you can unfollow me after, my tweets aren't great)

This really saddens me. I am going to have to create a Twitter account just so I can add Nintendo friends to Miitomo (which I DO want to use).
Just so dumb. Why oh why can't we use existing friends lists on Nintendo devices? Me no understand.

Miitomo refuses to launch on my Android phone. The screen just blinks and the program auto-closes. $:-\$

Is your phone rooted? Apparently that causes problems. I had to use a workaround for my jailbroken iPhone.

I'm using the stock OS on my OnePlusOne, but judging by the reviews I'm seeing on the Google Play store, that's incompatible with Miitomo.

Guess this make my twitter account useful again? I am @cityonacloud if anyone is wanting to add more friends.

I am now following you both as well as Insanolord and a host of other NWR luminaries.
My brand spanking new Twitter account is @Sensei_K77
I gather if folks follow me back, we can then be Miitomo pals.

Same.

FYI, if your facebook is more active, you can use that too. (For those that haven't fired up the app yet.)

It's very disappointing you can't add friends that are on your NNID.

Adding twitters above. Mine is: @SeacorPrime

Adding everyone here that I can.

nickmitch · « **Reply #24 on:** April 01, 2016, 12:58:38 PM »

Someone added me through the app itself by being a friend of a friend, so that is possible too, if you wanna make it easy.
