Nintendo today confirmed that both Miitomo and the new My Nintendo service will be available in Australia from tomorrow.
Miitomo is a free download on iOS and Android devices and will let users create a Mii.
“Once their Mii is ready, users can add friends who already have the app in person, or by linking the app with their existing Facebook or Twitter accounts,” Nintendo said via press release. “After that step is complete, it’s time to answer some questions! Miitomo creates conversations and turns discussions into a form of play by prompting users to answer all kinds of fun questions. How would you define your fashion style? What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten? If you were given ten grand to spend in one day, what would you do? The answers get shared among friends, sparking interesting conversations – part of the fun is discovering unexpected facts about your friends. When users hear how their friends respond to questions, they can give answers, a “heart” or a written or picture comment.”
You can pre-register for Miitomo here; those that do so will receive a notification when the app is available for download.
The new My Nintendo loyalty program also becomes available from 31 March.
“My Nintendo is much more than a rewards programme: it’s a comprehensive service that also rewards users for interacting with Nintendo products and services in a variety of ways,” Nintendo said.”Miitomo users who link the app to their Nintendo Account will be able to take advantage of My Nintendo to enhance their experience. Platinum Points can be earned by interacting with Nintendo apps and services, including Miitomo. Gold Points are earned when purchasing digital versions of games from the official Nintendo website or Nintendo eShop on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. Both Platinum and Gold Points can be redeemed for rewards like digital content and discount coupons.”
Those who sign up to My Nintendo will be gifted a copy of Flipnote Studio 3D on Nintendo 3DS, provided that user links their My Nintendo account to their 3DS.
