Miitomo (ミートモ Mītomo?) is a freemium social networking mobile app developed by Nintendo for iOS and Android devices. The app, Nintendo's first, allows users to converse with friends by answering various questions, and features Twitter and Facebook integration. The app was released in March 2016, launching alongside their My Nintendo service. The app can only be used when connected to Nintendo's servers. Over 10 million users have downloaded Miitomo since release.
Miitomo is a conversational app where users can communicate with friends by answering questions on various topics, such as favourite foods or current interests. Similar to Tomodachi Life, which some of the Miitomo development team also worked on, players use a Mii avatar which they can create from scratch or obtain from their My Nintendo account or a QR code, and give it a computer generated voice and personality. Users can add friends to Miitomo by communicating directly with their device or by linking the app to their Facebook and Twitter accounts. By tapping their Mii, users can answer various questions which are shared with their friends, while tapping their thought bubble allows them to hear answers from other friends. Users can visit, or be visited by, other friends and are able to answer certain questions that are only shared with a specific friend. Players are also able to take pictures of their Mii, known as MiiFotos, which can be shared with friends as well as posted online.
Performing various actions in the app earns Miitomo Coins, which can also be obtained through in-app purchases. These coins can be spent on various clothing items that can be used to customise the user's Mii. Additional clothing items can be obtained through the Miitomo Drop minigame, which can be played by either spending Miitomo Coins or using Game Tickets earned through play. The app is tied into My Nintendo's rewards scheme, with users able to earn Miitomo Platinum Points by clearing missions such as changing their outfits daily or linking their accounts. Miitomo Platinum Points can be exchanged for special item rewards or additional Game Tickets, or can be combined with standard Platinum Points for other My Nintendo rewards.
