Miitomo may be coming to an end on 9th May, but that doesn't mean all your little Mii characters will be lost forever. In fact, Nintendo is planning to introduce a new web browser-based application that will enable you to edit and customise your little pals even when the Miitomo servers have been switched off.
According to a recent update post on Nintendo's first smartphone app, you'll need to sync your Nintendo Account to Miitomo before the closing date next week. Here's the official update from Nintendo:
"If you link a Nintendo Account to Miitomo, you will be able to use your Miitomo Mii characters on your Nintendo Account. We will also provide the following option to create and edit Mii characters after Miitomo service has ended.
With the end of Miitomo service, it will no longer be possible to create or edit Mii characters using Miitomo, but we are planning to add a feature in late May 2018 which will enable you to create and edit Mii characters for your Nintendo Account via your web browser of choice.
In order to add this feature, we will be performing system migration maintenance from the end of Miitomo service until late May 2018. During this period, you will not be able to change your Mii character set to your Nintendo Account (including clothes and accessories).
Additionally, changes made to the Mii character for your Nintendo Network ID will not be applied to your Nintendo Account Mii character."
So get your accounts linked up if Mii creation away from a Nintendo console is your thing. Are you still playing Miitomo before it shuts down in just over a week? Share your thoughts with the rest of the NL community...

Well...
Just now i checked my Miitomo, got some money.
I'm gonna miss my Bodybuilder skin...
Please, Nintendo. Revive the clothing system on New Website Editor.
I wanna see Bodybuilder / Muscular Boxer skin again from Miitomo.
You'd have thought they'd have made this a thing a looong time ago, like back when they used NNIDs for everything.
I'm just making as many avatar pictures with Miitomo as I can before it goes
I'm assuming when Miitomo's service shuts down soon, that they're going to remove support for the custom Miis on My Nintendo with special clothing like ninja suits, Samus' helmet, Link's wig, etc. It's going to be a shame to see it go because that was my main draw to it so I could make my mii look completely how I wanted to.
@Kit It should be Bitmoji. It should be integrated into Wii U, 3DS, and Switch games. Miitomo had so much potential. I think it just didn't fit into the Switch image very well and they wanted to place it in the background. It's sad, though.
I honestly don't care about Miis. I want to be able to upload my own pictures as avatars on both my Nintendo account and Switch user profile.
Hopefully they add some of the clothing to the web editor. Personally I think they should just keep Miitomo functioning just without any new content. Or even just roll the Mii editor/photo stuff into the Nintendo Switch Online mobile app without the question and answer parts. All anyone really cares about is dressing up their Miis and making funny reaction pictures so that should stay and the rest can go.
@Anti-Matter I'd love to take my Miitomo dress and use it as my Switch avatar
@Yasaal @Anti-Matter Agreed!
I'm curious to see if the Mii franchise will continue on the Switch. Apart from your avatar, there doesn't seem to be a way to import your cast of Mii's from your Wii U/3DS and store them.
@aaronsullivan Personally I think that sounds awful. Bitmoji has plenty of content but the avatars are... Meh. If they incorporated more stuff like Bitmoji and Miitomo into more of their stuff I think it'd look a lot better.
I will miss Miifoto a lot
You forgot this part.
"You will be able to continue using your Miitomo Mii character as the Mii character for your Nintendo Account after the termination of Miitomo service, but you will not be able to use the clothes and accessories you had set in Miitomo after maintenance is complete. (Any clothes and accessories you had already set will be removed)."
I'm going to miss this the most. I was hoping they would integrate in the switch like they did with Super Mario Run and MyNintendo in the future. I love mii but he needs to get some fashion sense and character.
I wish there was a way to export the custom Miis in Miitomo with their clothing, I grew fond of my Samus, Zelda, Paper Peach and several others I created
I had this on one phone that ended up breaking. So, when I tried to log on with the new phone, it never worked... or I had to start over. Never bothered to rework it.
I think they could have done more with this- like added mini games? Just stupid crap that you see people playing... runners, golf, tennis, bowling etc.
Mii's are just as much their own game series as Kirby or Yoshi at this point. I think we'll see them take more of a back seat, but never underestimate the power of being able to mindlessly mess around with stuff on a phone app.
Why can't Nintendo put some more effort into the Switch "Mii Maker" instead? I think it's completely lifeless right now.
Did someone say 'browser'?
Sorry, I got 'triggered' by that word and hoped it would mean the Switch's browser will finally be unlocked...
Basically, anything with the word 'browser' on this site will get me excited for that.
I really hope we will get a Tomodachi Life sequel on Switch. It's my most played 3DS game
Why didn't they just build Miitomo into the Switch's OS?
Man, Nintendo still sure knows how to disappoint. I thought Miitomo would be a first step to a better Mii future, integrated into Switch, Nintendo accounts and mobile apps. Plus games like Tomodachi Life for the Switch. Yet here we are...
Personally, I feel that abandoning "casual" Miis for the sake of "hardcore gamer Nintendo franchises" (Splatoon, Smash, Zelda, etc.) is just as stupid as PS4/XBone/PC gamers preferring "mature" titles to "childish" Nintendo games. Gotta learn to see past the presentation! Wii Music, Wii Party, Tomodachi Life were all amazing games. Hell, Wii Party in one of the best selling Wii games.
I would love to be proven wrong and see some Mii love at E3 this year.
It is a shame that, rather than evolving and continuing to support the Miis as time has gone by, they have let the feature fade into obscurity...
@reali-tglitch Just to be clear, I didn't mean that Miis should look like Bitmoi, but that Miitomo should have had the functionality of Bitmoji: I should be able to pose it and easily send them in my text messages. I prefer the way Miitomo Miis look to Bitmoji avatars.
@SleepyOtus Sorry, but that's never going to happen. There'd be no way for Nintendo to effectively screen them for potential inappropriate content.
Anyway, the Miis work just fine as an avatar system, and I'm glad they're going to be a little more convenient now.
Would be interesting if they finally make Miis super cusotmizable, with clothes and all of that.
Things like any hair color would be cool, etc.
Something along the lines of the xbox avatar where you could customize it quite nicely.
@Gridatttack um that's exactly what you were able to do in miitomo. the clothes you put on there even are displayed on your mii on my nintendo, mario run, etc.
Directly.
Try saying directly in the comment field on Miitomo. You've only got a few more days to experience it.
I'm directly sad that Miitotmo is getting shut down.
