Title: Miitomo Heads West This Thursday
Post by: Shaymin on March 29, 2016, 01:16:00 AM

Barely sneaking in under the self-imposed deadline.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/42396/miitomo-heads-west-this-thursday

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.

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.

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

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


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

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

I'm going to bed.

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

It's live in the iOS App Store!

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?)

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.

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.
EDIT -

Following you now, too.

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

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.

I think I've basically became friends with about everyone on here just from a few facebook and twitter connections. But my twitter is @bustin98

UncleBob and Jonny like to be naked. I am currently sporting a bikini. There may be incriminating photos of me naked but I can't confirm.

Did your kids hijack your account again, Bustin?
Title: Re: Miitomo Heads West This Thursday

You would think. Many are letting their inner cross dressing tendencies out in this app... and furry costumes.

I am now sitting on 160 "friends", and it's put me at about 1/4 of the way through level 6. We're getting to be a giant circle. Most of my suggested friends have 60 or more mutual friends.

I'm just a whore.
Title: Re: Miitomo Heads West This Thursday
Post by: nickmitch on April 06, 2016, 10:30:02 AM
I have not added nearly that many people.  If anyone wants to add me, feel free.
Title: Re: Miitomo Heads West This Thursday
Post by: bustin98 on April 06, 2016, 10:04:15 PM
I now have over 350. I see that the friend score is based on people commenting on your answers, not how many you have.

Broodwars must have blocked me... :( or he uninstalled the game. And Daan dropped me too. I had to ask again. :D

Feel free to go to my profile, you can see the friends listed, just start requesting. Most of them will add you. Though I'm thinking you get the most benefits from having a small group of dedicated friends over a ton of random kids who don't play.

My daughter didn't link any social media account. She friended me in person. Now she has more friends than I do by requesting through the app itself. It's an interesting system.
And yes, you are a whore but a damned attractive one, I'm sure.

I still don't have any friends. I need to get on that but some other games have been stealing my app time.

Post by: Adrock on April 07, 2016, 09:25:17 PM
I currently don't have any Miitomo friends either. I'm working on convincing my brother and a friend to download the app. I refuse to link my Facebook account, and I don't have a Twitter account. I tried to add a coworker, but it wasn't connecting or something. I have no idea why it didn't work. Boo-urns.

You've gotta get on Twitter. That's where all the action is.
