Miitomo: Nintendo's First Smartphone Game (#137)

In the past year (or however long it's been, I have no sense of time these days) Nintendo announced their intentions to begin making games for smartphones to appeal to a wider audience since that's what a lot of people are into these days, while still making the video games that all us hardcore players know and love.

The company have announced that their first mobile game will be called Miitomo, and will be heavily themed around Nintendo's Miis, which have become a main part of Nintendo;s consoles since the release of the Wii. The game will be released in March 2016, and will be a little like a communication tool and a little like a virtual pet. Maybe kind of like Nintendogs? Players will be able to have conversations with the Miis they create using the game, and share answers to questions with friends. We don't know what platforms the game will be available on yet, but I'm hoping iPhone.
