Quick recap of the business model in Nintendo's first mobile game, Miitomo:

1.) You can buy in game currency for between ¥120 (~$1) and ¥8800 (~$79). You can use this to buy clothing or extra runs at the pachinko game.

2.) There's a pachinko-esque gacha minigame you can play to get more clothing. You get some free pulls, and pay about $0.50 for another go when you run out.

3.) The pachinko game has time limited items that are exclusive to it, at least during the duration of the event, so there are potential reasons to want to use bonus pulls.

4.) You do get free currency in the game as well through playing.

Or, in summary, it's an entirely standard, whale friendly mobile monetization system complete with gacha mechanics.

If they're doing experiments with how to monetize mobile games, it's certainly not happening with this title. That, or the result of the experiments was "We should stick with the normal monetization methods."

How droll.
Maybe their first game with a popular IP will shake things up. Although from what I recall, those aren't coming out for a while.

 

[Dystify]

I don't think Miitomo will be something that makes Nintendo a lot of money... unless it becomes a social phenomenon and people actually feel like they have to spend real money to buy in-game clothes.

After trying the game out for a while I didn't really feel like there is anything I'd ever spend cash on. I doubt this would change even if all my friends suddenly got the app. Maybe they will offer more things besides clothing down the line, though.

How droll.

They're supposed to have four more by April 2017, with the next one being one of their big IPs.

I'm guessing it's supposed to be one each quarter, but I don't think they ever specified, so they could all come at the end.

 

[Sterok]

Miitomo seems more like a thing meant to get people into the Nintendo ecosystem (and My Nintendo specifically) instead of making money directly, so downloads will probably be a better measure of its success than revenue. No idea how popular it will be on either side of the pond, but Tomodachi Life's unexpected success probably gives it better odds than I'm inclined to give it.

This is my thinking as well. I think it's more a play at community and vitality with the meme-maker Miifoto function. It's tailor made for the short attention span of meme-humor and as if someone spent a day on Facebook or Reddit.

That said, as there is no metric of "winning the game" or beating others, I feel a lot of usual whale mechanics are missing from this title even if you can spend a lot of money on it. There's a potential for whaling collectors but even that may have short limits given the limited nature of the mii.

 

[saichi]

The average in Japan is more like 10%.

I miss the days when digital on PS systems is at least 30%! ^^

[Pennywise83]

If they're doing experiments with how to monetize mobile games, it's certainly not happening with this title. That, or the result of the experiments was "We should stick with the normal monetization methods."

Nintendo never said they were going to create new ways of monetizing apps and mobile games. Business-wise, experimentation doesn't necessarily imply the creation of something - to be precise, it is typically the adoption and adaptation of existing tools and techniques to own products and strategies - which is exactly what Nintendo is doing with Miitomo. There are plenty of ways to introduce micro-transactions (there're not actual "normal monetization methods") and Nintendo chose a couple of those methods blended in a specific way - Mii interaction, social aspects. This is experimentation, and might simply be way of understanding how a social app can be monetize under the Nintendo brand.

 

[Nirolak]

There's basically zero here that hasn't been done in f2p social fashion apps, except I guess making the gacha machine into a more literal gacha machine.

Perhaps they just oversold the idea of looking at other apps and going "Yeah I can apply my brand to this in a slightly different way." since they're not normally a mobile company and thus all their investors might not understand mobile.

But whatever, this seems like a sane path regardless. The app is starting to load up on app annie so we should get early readings on performance in the not too distant future.

I'm curious to see how users rate it as well since quality of implementation is definitely something Nintendo excels at even if breaking down the individual pieces doesn't look extremely original.

I don't see the issue here. The mobile market is mature enough to have clear paths to follow for new entrants: free-to-play, gacha systems, conversion rates for in-game currencies. It is perfectly normal for a new entrants to look what is successful and try to replicate with their own flavour. This is also experimentation. I don't see what uninformed investors have to do here since the app was just released and that also be a formula for a successful app...?

 

[Nirolak]

To be clear, I actually think using existing models is likely a way better idea given that their non-traditional f2p attempts on things like the 3DS haven't been very good.

When I heard experimentation, especially reading the paragraphs upon paragraphs they wrote about it, I felt it implied something like that, which would go over like a lead balloon.

I guess there was the one interview where they implied PC-esque engagement monetization, which is not a bad idea given how Clash Royale is going (and what fans of their dedicated games are likely to enjoy), but this doesn't seem to be that. Maybe the next title given it's a traditional IP?

What are Nintendo's non-traditional f2p attempts on the 3DS? You have Pokémon Shuffle which is basically Candy Crush Saga in terms of monetization techniques, and seemed quite successful; Steel Diver is just a demo where you can unlock everything by paying a full price (freemium model); Rusty's Deal Baseball is a free game where contents are behind paywall, as well as Pokémon Picrss (the latter seem quite successful). Finally, Pokémon Rumble World which implemented traditional monetization techniques and was in the best grossing eShop chart posted by Nintendo. Then you have Mii Plaza games (again, DLC basically) which generated a lot of revenues in particular in Japan.

Also, what do they write about "experimentation in the mobile market in terms of monetization techniques"? Because I don't remember them saying too much but they were developing 5 free-to-play games. Who is a leader in the mobile market in terms of monetization techniques? Not even the top-grossing app are the first to have implemented specific technique, which actually existed well before the mobile market in PC gaming and online gambling.

If you were expecting "something like Clash Royale", were you not expecting experimentation of new ideas given how you can already cite an example of that?

 

[Nirolak]

Steel Diver is just a demo where you can unlock everything by paying a full price (freemium model); Rusty's Deal Baseball is a free game where contents are behind paywall

Yes, you've pointed out the issue. This was a concept in the very early days of smartphone gaming where you'd have something that was a "Lite" version of your paid app.

It's not an actual implementation of f2p, it's just the shareware model of the early 90s.

They were billing them as their early forays into f2p though, which doesn't befit the mobile market as it is today. They later followed up by talking about how they were considering trying new business models in mobile.

This isn't really a new business model, which doesn't fit with previous impressions, thus my comment. I think you're reading it as a negative when it's not meant to be.

Uh? The original freemium model still exists - you pay a premium price to unlock the full game, or to eliminate ads. Nintendo is not using a shareware model on mobile, but used a shareware model on 3DS, which made perfect sense given how the market is quite different from mobile.

This isn't really a new business model, which doesn't fit with previous impressions, thus my comment. I think you're reading it as a negative when it's not meant to be.

i'm just not understanding the experimentation part since experimentation doesn't automatically mean to introduce new business and revenue strategies, and Nintendo never said they were going to.

 

[Nirolak]

Let me dig up the original interviews a bit later today. It should be more clear then.

 

[Sterok]

I wonder if people are downloading Miitomo because they're genuinely interested in what it offers, for the My Nintendo goodies, or because they want to see what mobile Nintendo is like.

 

[Nirolak]

Here's one of them: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/stock/meeting/150626qa/03.html

Regarding your question about the target audience, we are trying to make applications that appeal to a wide variety of people so that the games can receive payments widely but shallowly from each consumer. In other words, even if a consumer makes a relatively small payment, because of the large consumer base, the game can generate big revenue. This is the business model we would like to realize. I think the shareholder has just asked these questions partially because he is concerned that Nintendo might shift to the notorious business model that asks a small number of people to pay excessive amounts of money and that Nintendo’s brand image might be hurt. Please understand that Nintendo will make its proposals by taking into consideration what Nintendo really should do with this new challenge.

And another: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/150508qa/index.html

We recognize what the number of downloads, payment rate or the amount each user pays mean and that they have been generally used for a typical smart device business. Even though this data may be an indicator, if we focus on such numbers alone as the basis of our thinking about what actions will be most effective, it means that we will analyze why certain game applications are selling well in order to make one with a similar structure, which means we will end up copying exactly what is already happening in the market for smart devices. I think many of you here already understand that while it was simple for many to earn revenue in the beginning just from creating a smart device application, the situation has been rapidly changing and now, with intense competition, generating revenue on smart devices is no longer easy. I don't think we can realize what we aspire to by simply imitating a past success formula.

Regarding "how we receive money" from our consumers, while we understand that there are some methods or elements we should learn from or consider among the existing ways proven to work well on smart devices, it will not produce long-lasting results if we simply combine existing ways with Nintendo IP, even though we might make some short-term revenue.

But they have a 8800 yen microtransaction in the menu. Limited time gacha events are also whale hunting.

This is also a clone business model for the most part, or "simply imitating a past successful formula" in terms of payment.

 

[Pennywise83]

I guess plans might change in a two-year timespan. It might be that they saw such micro-transactions schemes as successful in the long-term without damaging the brand and they decided to follow the path - which is completely understandable for new entrants. I'd like to know, though, how much Miitomo is cloning mobile apps in terms of monetization techniques, and which ones.

 

[Nirolak]

Yeah, I think it's likely just become standard enough that no one would actually question it at this point.

These days, lots of kids games on mobile do this both in the West and Japan, and we see it in core oriented console games as well.

It's more "this is the way things are" in 2016 than in 2014. The ability to disable IAP and parental controls exist on all the phones as well for parents who are concerned about their kids (or people worried about themselves) spending money.

I'd like to know, though, how much Miitomo is cloning mobile apps in terms of monetization techniques, and which ones.

I would consider this to be the standard monetization technique for most mobile games in Japan at this point.

You can buy currency to accelerate progress (similar to buying gold to level up your cards/characters/etc, or change your style in things like Kim Kardashian, which is a very global thing actually), or to make pulls on the gacha machine to get event specific items (which is more of a Japanese specific thing).

In more literal terms of buying clothing, we can consider games like LINE PLAY (which is somewhat similar to this game's concept, though you can also buy things for your room) or Covet Fashion, which probably makes a good argument for an eventual Style Savvy game.

You can also customize your style in games like Kim Kardashian or Kylie and Kendall, but unlike LINE PLAY, the story is about your imaginary social life instead of your actual life. You can still share on social networks there however.

I would rather say that some PSP audience just moved away from handhelds instead of your arguable "PS4 & PSV are doomed" and "PSP ports don't sell on Vita" theories...

And this is the same situation we could say for DS audience, it's clear that those DS & PSP numbers won't be replicated anymore, neither on Nintendo handhelds nor on eventually Sony handhelds.
Nothing more, nothing less.

One of the Nikkei (IIRC) rumours that came out of the Konami drama last year is that Nintendo has licensed Momotaro Dentetsu from Konami and is working on a new 3DS game, possibly in cooperation with series creator/co-owner Akira Sakuma.

I wonder if this TV spot wasn't stealth marketing for an impending game.

I heard the rumor too. The lack of any news on it recently makes me a bit worried. I really hope it pans out. I also hope it is successful enough that Nintendo has interest in some of the other Hudson properties like PC Genjin (Bonk), Far East of Eden, Adventure Island, and of course Bomberman. Hey.. a guy can dream.

Considerable shipment because Monday 21st is a national holiday and next week starts the Spring Holiday Break.

Yeah, I just realised Monday was a public holiday (well, actually it's Sunday, but thanks to that wonderful Japanese law, all public holidays falling on Sunday mean Monday is also a holiday). Definitely good timing for Pokkén and the Happy Price Selection.

Not surprised at the low start for the HPS, that's definitely a standard thing. Definitely going to do well on the long run. Honestly don't think any of them will chart, except maybe Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

An interesting to note, Dengeki did a neat comparison for Twilight Princess HD.

Basically, TWW on GC sold ~726k LTD, and TWWHD sold 72k LTD, so GC > Wii U ratio is 9.9%.

If TPHD has a similar ratio, then it would sell 52k... so yeah, TPHD is doing better than TWWHD, which not only obvious but also expected (TP has a much better reputation than TWW, especially in Japan).

My wording maybe wasn't correct. Media Create expects the game to keep selling for a long time as Rainbow Six: Siege.
They aren't implying that it will quadruple its sales. Doubling seems very easy, though.

Looks like Miitomo is off to a good start.

Miitomo, a free messaging-based application, reached No. 1 among social-networking apps in Japan on Apple Inc.’s iOS devices on the day of its release, market researcher App Annie said on Friday. Line, the country’s most popular instant messenger, fell to second place.

Still #1 today, it seems.

“This should remove any doubts about the Nintendo brand’s relevancy in the smartphone age,” said Atul Goyal, an analyst at Jefferies Group LLC. “More than just a messaging tool, Miitomo can be a platform for distributing Nintendo content, and probably third-party content at a later stage.”

Of course, Nintendo refused to provide any download numbers (so for microtransactions..... yeah ).

“We had a good start and have received very positive feedback,” Nintendo spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa said, declining to disclose the number of downloads. “Miitomo will continue to evolve.”

Erm. Pretty sure CoD already outsold Skyward Sword way back. Japan doesn't care for console Zelda anymore.

Western games are popular in Japan to some extent and Zelda is not the biggest Nintendo IP over there. GTAV more than doubled Skyward Sword sales, for example.

The age of western games don't sell in Japan was gone years ago.

 

[Pennywise83]

The age of western games don't sell in Japan was gone years ago.

I do think this is also a problem of perception. Some Western games were selling well also on PS2; you have Medal of Honor at 120k, Need for Speed often above 70k, Fifa topping 100k on PS1 and PS2; GTA selling over 500k on PS2 on an entry basis also thanks to budget versions; surely now they're selling better on average, but what strikes more is how they compare with the decreasing sales of Japanese franchises, in particular on PS3 and PS4; on PS2 they were noises, among plenty of games that were selling comparably well and more, while on PS3 you have a Western games in the Top 10 best-selling chart already, and 2 in the Top 20. This without counting, of course, games such as Crash Bandicoot.
