DeNA talks details about their upcoming Nintendo-published ‘Miitomo’

Nintendo’s first smartphone game, Miitomo, is slated for release in March, but when it was announced the company didn’t divulge much about how it’ll actually work. Fortunately DeNA, the developer responsible for actually creating Miitomo, has shed some light on what we can expect to play.

One of the central points for Miitomo is communication with other players, which DeNA’s president thinks is a little more personal than talking through normal text-based apps. Considering the app will rely heavily on Mii avatars, it makes sense and sounds almost like an MMO or a small social media network.

Communication won’t be the only thing you’ll do, however. There will likely be some mini-games that you can play with your friends, and everything will try to keep that classic Nintendo charm that we expect from their first-party titles. Hard to tell how well DeNA will pull it off, but everyone involved seems hopeful.

A big question mark has been around how Nintendo plans on making money with Miitomo, and even though nothing is concrete yet, DeNA has hinted that there will be some microtransactions for in-game items like clothes and accessories. There are tons of possibilities with how these purchases can end up, but I think everyone can agree cosmetic items are the lesser of two evils.
