The game is already available in Japan— that’s how Jeff managed to go hands-on in our first look video earlier this month— but nowadays Nintendo confirmed that its first iOS game,Miitomo, will officially arrive in the US on March 31st. The game isn’t exactly bringing over any of Nintendo’s very approved first party franchises to iPhones and iPads, and but it does feature known Mii characters and,as we famous in our review, the release feels very much like a Nintendo title:
When you first start Miitomo, and it’s immediately recognizable as a Nintendo title. It feels like someone took my Nintendo Wii and shrunk it down to fit inside of my iPhone 6s. The music and sound effects,most notably, are of the characteristic Nintendo style. The Miis themselves look just like the Miis on the game-maker’s handheld and domestic consoles. The writing — witty, and with just a trace of corniness thrown in for good measure — is classic Nintendo.
Nintendo famous in its press release nowadays that Miitomo was downloaded over a million times in the first three days after launch in Japan and it also managed to become the #1 most downloaded free app in both the App Store and Google Play. While Nintendo didn’t mention other countries by name nowadays,it did say that “several other countries” will receive the title on the 31st alongside users in the US. Check out our review of the game from earlier this month to gather a first look before it officially arrives in the US and other countries on the 31st.
