Nintendo revealed<\/a> late yesterday that they are ending services for Miitomo<\/strong>, the company’s first mobile game, later this year.<\/p>\n

Miitomo<\/em> will end its service as of May 9th, 2018. The game was the first from Nintendo and launched on March 31st, 2016.\u00a0Miitomo<\/em> will become unavailable at\u00a02:00am ET on May 9th.<\/p>\n

The sale of Miitomo<\/em> coins has already ended.<\/p>\n

Until the end of service, Nintendo is offering daily login bonuses of Miitomo<\/em> coins and game tickets so that users can continue to play Miitomo Drop and use other features such as the Miitomo<\/em> shop.<\/p>\n

If you don’t already us it, you can transfer your Mii to your Nintendo Account by linking it to Miitomo<\/em>. Its personality and other information will not be carried over. Sidekick Mii characters however will be deleted. You can save Sidekick Mii characters by saving them as a QR Code. They can then be transferred to Mii Maker on Nintendo 3DS or Wii U. You can also transfer Miis into Tomodachi Life<\/em> on the 3DS.<\/p>\n

You will not be able to view Miifotos, including Miifotos you have shared to Facebook.\u00a0Miitomo<\/em>-themed icons and clothing items used in your Nintendo Account or Super Mario Run<\/em> will not display after the service has ended.<\/p>\n

While I don’t use the app as much as i used to, I have still been checking in on it. This discontinuation wasn’t too unexpected the game was somewhat limited and there hasn’t been anything big or new in a while.<\/p>\n

It’s still disappointing to see another Mii service end. Miitomo<\/em> follows the earlier termination of Miiverse<\/em>. Hopefully the innovative and adorable characters will live on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
