Two years ago Nintendo made their first steps in to the world of mobile gaming by launching the Miitomo app for both iOS and Android. They have now announced that the service will close this May, but have already stopped selling Miitomo coins, the in-game currency.
The app was more of a quiz than a game and was initially successful gaining three million players in a few short days. It was updated a year ago with private messaging and private rooms, and you could add a sidekick Mii.
We will fondly remember the app as it managed to get Hitman’s Agent 47 to tell us a lovely story about dolphins.
There is a rather dark side to this story, you can transfer your Mii character to your Nintendo Account by linking it to Miitomo, thus saving it from a digital death, but it’s personality and other information will not be carried over.
To save your Mii’s life you’re going to have wipe it’s mind, that sounds like the plot to an episode of Black Mirror.
