    Fantastic start to the world of apps for Nintendo! If you can read you will enjoy this game. A great way to socialize by answering questions that you are not normally asked. Well done, Nintendo, keep them coming!

    An enjoyable social media "game." One that has that classic sense of Nintendo originality to make it all the more charming. Given that is more on the social media side of things there isn't much actual gameplay. The enjoyment comes from the unique way you can interact with others. So the more people you connect with the better Miitomo is.

    It's all about answering questions about yourself and reading other people's answers. It's a pretty clever way to share your interests while learning about your friends and/or family. It doesn't sound like much and to be honest it really isn't. However Nintendo is able to add a sense of fun to it all and throw in some rewards to make it worthwhile.

    You can also deck out your Mii with some new gear. You can import your Mii from your other Nintendo systems by linking your Nintendo account or make a new one just for the game. Either way it's entertaining to interact with your (fully voiced) virtual doppelganger.

    Another exciting thing about Miitomo is the potential is has. Nintendo has the power to expand upon it in interesting ways and I really hope they do so. Possibly with integration to their future games and the upcoming NX.

    While this sort of limited social media design might not appeal to everyone, the free-to-play model makes it at least worth a look. With some work on Nintendo's part this could end up being Facebook-lite for Nintendo fans. As it stands now it's a fun diversion. One worth checking out and has the potential to keep you coming back even in it's current state. I can't wait to see where they take things from here.    … Expand

    This was a neat little idea that was shut down way too fast. Sad to see this little experiment mistreated.

    It works well as a game you can just pick up and poke at as desired to kill just a bit of time. [Issue #21 – May/June 2016, p.28]

    It’s a social experience more than a true game, but like Tomodachi Life, Miitomo is aware that it’s a niche game and wears its quirkiness proudly on its sleeve. There’s plenty of incentive to check in daily to earn Platinum Points for those looking to snag rewards from My Nintendo, but I highly recommend people give this one a download simply to try something different. There are plenty of endless runners and match-three puzzlers on the iOS and Android marketplaces; Miitomo is unique, which I’d expect no less from Nintendo.

    In several ways, Miitomo is the perfect kind of app for Nintendo to bring to mobile devices – it’s unexpected, silly, and it doesn’t make any sense.
