Miitomo Meets Its End On 9th May

I had Miitomo for a quite a while before I finally disposed of it for storage. Sad to see it go, but just like I felt with Miiverse, I'll move on.

I hope Nintendo does something big with the Miis again.

I don't know anyone who played this. It probably was just a waste of resources.

Wow. I wasn’t expecting this.

It was gone for me a long time ago. Fun for a short time but then became a chore.

Damn. I didn't thought it was doing that bad. I used to "play" it until I get bored. Could have been better.

So I guess that Nintendo will soon kill everything Mii related I suppose?

I used it a bit to begin with but not anymore.

Off topic.
I sent my Switch to Nintendo to fix my faulty SD reader as it doesn't read any cards at all.
Got it back today only to find it still doesn't work and that Nintendo replaced my perfectly good working game card reader instead.
Now I have to send it back in

One month without my Switch!

I had fun with it for about a week or so after it launched. But it wasn't really much of a game. Nintendo can do better, let's hope this is a sign they realize that.

I’m actually going to miss this. I use it to create memes with my mii that amuse my wife.

I really enjoyed the miiphotos of the day when that was a feature. I never made any friends, so the photos would populate with multi versions of my own mii, often creating genuinely surreal works.

I would boot this up once a week or so just to check on updates. Kind of sad to see it go.

This didn't take very long.

First PlayStation Home, then Miiverse, and now even Miitomo a day after my birthday? C'mon, now.

I really thought there must have been more to the plan with Miitomo. Tie it in to other promotions let you use your custom Miis in games of something. Maybe that was a long term goal that was abandoned when it didn’t catch on.

It was kinda cute, charming, and I had some fun thanks to at least one old friend who also tried it out. Even besides it’s simplicity it had problems though. For instance, for a social silly app it took a long time to start.

It was interesting to see Nintendo experiment with it but honestly pretty embarrassing.

Of course.

I’m actually surprised it lasted this long. Does anyone still play this? Anyone?

@thesilverbrick yes. daily. my life is over now (well, in may)

"Miitomo- themed icons and clothing items used in your Nintendo Account or the Super Mario Run™ game will not display after the service has ended."

that's the worst part honestly

Wow, talk about bad support....

Not surprised, I had forgotten it even existed.

Miitomo is irrelevant. It existed only to please mobile-hungry shareholders, back before the Switch existed and became a hit.

The idea was amazing, but in practice there was nothing much to do with Miitomo.

Now how will we be put to our necks in worthless MyNintendo coins?

Oh right, the better Nintendo phone games.

Not surprised, though Miitomo had a lot of potential. I still don't understand how it didn't find its way to the Switch in some form as the successor to Miiverse. Maybe we'll see it one day.

Good riddance...

Just kidding. Fun app for a little while.

I have this on my smartphone.
Very seldom to play, but i will missing the Muscular Boxer outfits.
I still haven't got yet.

Edit: Does anyone have Mucular Male Boxer outfits from Miitomo ? I want that outfits.

@thesilverbrick
Sometimes i still play it.
Well, still waiting for Muscular Boxer outfits Return again.

I had to uninstall a while ago. It took up a HUGE chunk of space on my phone..bleh.
Fun while it lasted, anyways.

It did provide some short term entertainment but it doesn’t surprise me. Probably the most benefit I got out of it was some people to add to my switch friends list.

I hung on to it for a while and I did enjoy it... But it ultimately became a chore and I deleted it for storage reasons.

I haven't opened the app in months yet I'm sad to see it go.
It had it's charm and Miifoto was actually pretty fun.

That's a shame it seemed like a no-brainer to link this to your Mii's so you can dress them up for your console account. Never put a cent into it, though my daughter had fun dressing up character Mii's of the family.

i didnt play miitomo that often. so i can't say im surprised.

@Spoony_Tech I can relate, it got boring getting those Platinum Points so I haven't really played for a while.

I think I opened it like once and even then it was only for some points on MyNintendo. Sad to see it gone but not very surprising.

The reason I never really care about this social media app thing is that none of the people I know care about it either so we just never bother with it. I had a feeling Nintendo should just focus on games and stop making social stuff, they tend to be very strict on their social offerings and people hate getting censored.

Not too sad or surprised.
Played from day one but not really unique enough and eventually only really useful for platinum coins I have nothing to spend on.
Happy for Ninty to focus elsewhere. Like achievements

Boo... I play this daily

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy it was utter garbage

I'll miss revving up miifotos (have a total of 644), as well as dem answer central memes. I'll miss the daily miitomo cicadas, MY MOM, A CHICKEN WING WILL NEVER BE THE SAME, and especially the answer central classic meme......Aren't Lucario's paws adorable?

@Anti-Matter I have the Muscular Boxer outfit in red, which went swell with my afro.

Lol.
First Nintendo mobile game that bites the dust. I'm glad their later mobile titles have been better.

I only got it for the My Nintendo points, and then realised, there was no point to nintendo points, so deleted it

I still think Miitomo should of been used as the base for Switch's friends list

Man... I understand it wasn't very impactful, but even though it didn't hook me either, reading this stuff minutes after Tales of Link maintenance announcing semi-sudden shutdown in March is kind of a one-two punch.

Am I the only one who thinks this has something to do with Nintendo's new online service coming up?
The Mii's you created in Miitomo could be used for your Nintendo Account after all.
Maybe we will finally be able to choose whatever picture we like as our avatar moving forward.

It was fun at first, but I eventually got bored of it and deleted it.

I played it daily en route to work to fervishly save up coins for my Nintendo...

But then when I realised how worthless those coins were, I stopped playing completely.

I was thinking the other day how much I would play Miitomo again should my Nintendo stop majorly sucking, but this has hit that one firmly on the head.

I wish they'd shut down Miitomo earlier and kept Miiverse running. Miiverse was the better social network anyway.
Heck, the, could've eveb made a Miiverse app...

I can't say I'll miss it.

Back in the day people actually said that Miitomo could rival Facebook and Twitter as a social platform, lol.

It was good to gather platinum coins though.

Nooooo! I love Miitomo and use it every day for chatting with my Mii buddies and making cool pictures using my Mii... what will I do after this?!! How will I get Miis to my phone and on social media. Cheers Ninty you're shooting my Mii and me in the back >

No way I love this 🤪

Miitomo is the most boring app in the history of mankind. I had more fun with the flashlight app on my phone. Miitomo was like sitting in an empty room. I heard that people have more fun in solidarity confinement than with playing Miitomo.

I hope that someone cracks out an APK where we can continue playing it, even if it's just to make Mii photos - which was one thing this app had going for it.

I played it daily, until I had enough Platinum points to get Zelda Picross and WarioWare. And haven’t touched it since. Fun idea, utterly hamstrung by the fact that no-one else I know ever downloaded it.

Oh no!!!

AND I've saved up 50,000 Miitomo coins!!!! Gah!
(I was trying to become the first Miitomomillionaire)

This killed my day. I’ve been using Miitomo almost everyday since it launched in Norway. It’s the perfect app for me. I’m sick of Facebook and twitter and all that crap. This is just really sad, I’m going to need some time to recover.

@thesilverbrick I use it everyday. It’s the only app I like on my phone.

For people wondering: My boyfriend and my cousin also use the app regularly and some other friends I have used it now and then, so I actually had posts to comment on and stuff like that.

Nothing will be lost.

Miitomo no mo’.

Can’t say I ever liked it much, but rest well!

Haven't used it in ages, but still sad because I always thought Miitomi was actually quite neat and had a lot of potential. It's just a shame I didn't really know anyone else who had it, which made it kind of redundant.

It relies too much on your friends to make it fun. It's just not fun in singleplayer, so I'm not surprised about Miitomo shutting down.

I had a lot of fun with it though, so it's still kind of sad. I hope Nintendo made a nice profit with this app.

It just shows why I can't really ever get into apps, downloads, or online games and stick with physical games for the most part.

There's an obsolescence plan for everything. This is shutting down, Wii Shop is shutting down so you won't be able to redownload anything, DS and Wii online have been shutdown for a long while. And they don't make anything open source to give a chance to redistribute or preserve it (legally at least.) It won't be long before Wii U services, then 3DS, go out the door.

I had fun with Miitomo for the first couple months and then forgot about it like so many others. Still sad to see it go 😕

I used it until they changed the structure of getting answers and just made the whole thing into one big social media feed, that ruined miitomo imo. Instead of learning things about all my friends I would now only see the 3 narcisstic friends who answered 5 questions about themselves daily.

I loved Miitomo, but I loved Tomodachi Life more.

Nintendo for the most part has had quality ideas for the last 2 years. This was not one of them.

Tried it twice throughout it's life. Truthfully, it just ate too much phone space and didn't do enough to keep me interested. Didn't know enough people who used it.

Ran into the same issue with Fire Emblem. I don't need a game to take up huge chunks of space on my phone. That is what Podcasts and Audiobooks are for.

I don't think it necessarily died due to a lack of players, as I'm sure there's still a handful of people that boot it up sometimes to dress up their Mii. I'm guessing they're having problems making real money off the game. For me at least, it never felt enticing to use real money to buy coins. The daily login bonus and one free play to get a miitomo drop coupon per day made everything easily accessible. All of the good outfits were miitomo drop ones and you could easily look up a video online to see where to drop to get the outfit you want.
Something like Fire Emblem Heroes should last much longer.

I wonder if we'll end up with some sort of Switch equivalent?

@Jack_Goetz I hope so, that would actually make my life better again ✨

@SheldonRandoms
Oh, do you have Muscle Boxer outfits ?
How do we trade the outfits ?

So for everyone who paid any actual money, I'm guessing their stuff will just disappear?

@Xaldin
Psst...
Better Nintendo make Tomodachi Life 2 for Switch with graphic engine same as Miitomo + More features and Minigames.

@RainbowGazelle
And then so what ?
No regrets at all even Miitomo will be ended soon.
I still pay some clothes with money from the games itself, not by my Real money.

Aww.. I am really sad to see Miitomo go, but I suppose it was bound to happen eventually.
I actually started dating my boyfriend because of Miitomo. We added each other on Miitomo and got to know each other by reading each other's answers and realized we have a lot in common. We started talking more IRL and as of now have been dating for over a year now.
Who knew Miitomo could be a dating app too? haha.

To pay my tribute, I shall link to this brentalfloss video.

I didn't like Miitomo, only played it until I had enough platinum points for Zelda Picross but it was worth it.

Eh, I didn't get any use out of this and don't know anyone who even had it.

@hdthroh my wife, and I use it in the same way. We are both kind of bummed about it

I had it and used it through it's first summer, then I bailed. I liked its concept but ultimately I had only 3 local friends (one of those I really didn't know) that used it. I think it would have been cool if more people I knew would have used it. The questions were fun to answer and it was cool to see the answers of my 3 friends.

But it's been a long time since I used it so I'm not too disappointed to see it go.

And on the same day that this announcement happened, I also got word that the very first mobile game I've ever played, (and still play to this day) Tales of Link, is also stopping service. I am far more upset about that than about Miitomo, though :')

@Anti-Matter Uh, I feel sorry for the people who used real money? What's your point?

It died when I started popping back on again for a few minutes...oh well, now my mii can't be dressed up on the Nintendo account.

@Anti-Matter I HAD THE OUTFIT AS SWELL, 2 COLORS INFACT, WENT SWELL WIT MY BONEZZZZZ.

Aww that bites, I use Miitomo pretty regularly. Ah well no game lasts forever, especially games as a service.

Sad to hear. I mean, I stopped using it as intended a couple of months or so after release. But it was still nice to pop in on once in a while. It did get a new lease on life in my house with my 4 year old. She loves it. She loves searching for and downloading the very creative Miis from Style Cental of her favorite characters. I put the app on an old phone for her and would send her little messages whenever she opened it. It really made her feel like she was using something cool and special.

With Miiverse and now Miitomo gone, I really hope Nintendo is looking at this as an opportunity to really revamp and expand upon the Mii idea and its use in its social media in relation to the Switch and future mobile apps and games

I knew this was going to happen, I’m just surprised it didn’t happen sooner. It was amusing at first, but I don’t think I opened it 3 days after launch. I think what killed it early on was the total lack of Nintendo things in the beginning. I was dressing myself up like half a sandwich for far too long. Sad for those who liked it, but I certainly won’t miss it. I’d rather see them use their resources elsewhere.

I used it for awhile on my phone and tablet to mine platinum coins. Then it stopped working on my tablet, and since good platinum rewards had also stopped I deleted it from my phone as well as my tablet.

Bummer to see it go. I only have 2 close friends on it but we kept it pretty lively in our group. Even though we don't login as much as we did months ago (unless I remind one of them), it was the only "game" we can "play" together on equal grounds. Plus extra Platinum coins.

I was hoping they would implement the custom miis as Switch avatars like they did with Super Mario Run (going to miss that one), but I guess that dream will die.

Aw. It was fun in the beginning, but I stopped logging in very shortly after launch. At the end of the day, I don't use any of Nintendo's mobile apps anymore. Pokemon GO got boring over a year ago, and Animal Crossing Pocket Camp was just too repetitive to keep my interest.

It was interesting in the beginning and I have to admit, I stayed with the app for over a year racking up Platinum Coins pretty easily. But the experience really started to get boring very quickly. And for most of the time, it was just myself and one other person making sure we got our daily Platinum Coins together. And I'd say around September of last year, we both got so bored we just stopped using the app entirely. This news comes as no surprise. I'll miss the easy ability to gain platinum coins but it's not like North American My Nintendo has anything good on it so really it's no big loss.

@Anti-Matter

You've got an obsession, man.

R.I.P.

Man, I hope this doesn't mean that Miis are forgotten and done with.

Wii Party was the most fun I had with not-so-gamer friends. I hope we get something similar on the Switch.

When it was released, I didn't actually have a phone yet, but I wanted to play it, since I loved Tomodachi Life. When I did eventually get a phone, I honestly forgot the game existed. Now, I ironically play Pokemon Go, Pokemon Duel, and FE Heroes, but I actually do have a friend who's really pissed about this development, and apparently spent a good amount of money on it.

I kinda got back at it when they added new hair colors, which allowed me to (finally) make a Super Sonico Mii. I did Pochaco and Taruco previously, but Sonico was the last one missing. And now I must rush to make MLP Miis.

This could've been a great app, but it feels like everyone I friended barely uses it.

I believe that Nintento should keep the Mii concept and the whole gamut of customization options found in Miitomo and Tomodachi Life in a new application of some sort, because I'm sure they won't put the Mii Maker on the 3DS up to date.

I really want to have a Tomodachi Life app so badly

Proftiable or no, this is really sticking it to the people who spent actual money on outfits, posters etc. Within the game. I spent a total of like, four bucks and a ton of My Nintendo coins. I'm sure there are people out there who paid more. Only giving us like, 2-3 years of service for a game that pushes people to pay real money to invest in in-game items feels pretty scummy for Nintendo. I feel like it deserved a few more years, even as a ghost town.

It was ok, but not my thing. Never really been big on the social app thing but would've been if I wasn't more interested in core experiences. Animal Crossing was about the only thing slightly resembling a social app I ever involved myself in, but that was for the console as I haven't touched the mobile version.

What a waste.. they should've implemented Miitomo as the Switch social network.. there was soooooo much potential.. heck.. I made miis of all my phone contacts on Miitomo

What will happen to My Nintendo, which was linked to this game? I mean, My Nintendo stinks, but I am curious.

I'm sad that they didn't at all integrate this into the Switch, I would have loved to dress up my Mii in the outfits or use wallpapers as the background in my user photo, or even have all of this as the built in messaging and social aspect on the Switch besides just being able to see what your friends are playing and having no way to communicate with them directly...

@thesilverbrick I'm just as surprised that this lasted this long. It seemed like the novelty of the concept wore off in the months immediately following its release. It just seemed like a new Mii Maker with some lite social elements that got old real quick. It shocks me that it took them 2+ years to kill this thing.

@Oat I enjoyed it for about a week or so, but then I couldn’t find more than two people to interact with and it got old really, really fast. I wonder why they have to destroy the app altogether, though. Why can’t they just leave it so that you can still open up your avatar and dress them up in the clothing you’ve earned? Seems like a little bit of overkill.

Played a bunch of Miitomo at the beginning. Then just let it go. The game is not that old im very surprised its being killed off so soon.

@MonkiPlays and yet you say very unexpected? Everyone did the same.

I'm not surprised, it's rubbish. It was great at first but quickly became boring and forgettable, a bit like the My Nintendo rewards system they introduced along with it. The problem was, once the vast majority of your friends stopped playing and you had a couple who still did, every single question or answer that popped up was by the same person. That's why I stopped playing, because I started to actively dislike someone because all I ever saw was what they were answering and I just had no interest in reading it.

Put this one next to Virtual Boy and Wii U for failed experiments, Nintendo.

@TheSpeedyMouse Nothing. My Nintendo is linked to all of their apps but is completely useable on its own.

i will miss it dearly

I'm probably going to be sad about it being gone for like a week and eventually forget about it like I did when I deleted it so I guess it's for the best

Used to connect to it every day when it was initially released, but then most of my social contacts got really bored with it. The only part I really liked were the costumes and the photo features: I eventually picked up the Black Zelda 8-Bit shirt so I could take a meta-picture with me in my own shirt, for example.

It had a great idea, but sadly just failed to truly ignite into something really big. Do I think this is the fault of the aging Mii concept, however? No, not really. Miis still have some relevance and make good digital avatars, but we are still waiting on Nintendo's Switch Online options to see if they stick with it or completely toss it asides.

@manu0 Typical Nintendo laziness right here. Instead of giving us a menu option for our Nintendo network accounts that allows us to use the clothing obtained before the service closes they just flip us the bird and don't give a hoot. How pathetic.

Did Nintendo ever do any crossover things with this app besides Mario and Zelda? Like with Pokemon or Bayonetta?

@Anti-Matter I only have the red version of that, unLIEK MY UNDEAD SOMEPIE. Also, you can't trade outfits, the most you can do to make another mii wear a costume they don't have, is to make the one who does have the costume rev up a miifoto with the mii wearing the costume, and then you would have to save that miifoto so you could edit it however you want.

@thesilverbrick yeah you might be right that it's a bit overkill to destroy the app.

@Anti-Matter I got one or two of the muscular outfits. I had a bit of fun with it ;p
https://nintendofanyes.deviantart.com/art/Mii-Pity-727592174?ga_submit_new=10%3A1516947259

I'm hoping for the butter on the head, and the pancake suit. Some of these items are dang hard to get, but with the amount of free coins they're giving, I might have a chance if it comes back up again!

My immediate reaction to reading the title was "What the heck is Miitomo"?

Heres to hoping we can start private messaging each other on Switch, and do more with the app than Splatoon 2. Miitomo came in handy for some of that; as some players I definitely didnt know personally and met on Miiverse, and didn’t know well enough for social media and texting.
