Is there an OT?

 

[-Horizon-]

It's live now in Japan apparently.

Hope people will have their expectations in check.
Esit : MyNintendo finally up in Japan.

Let's see how good/OK/terrible it all is.

 

[Tyeforce]

Is there an OT?

I don't believe so, but there should be! D: If no one steps in to make it soon I may do it myself. =P

 

[JB2448]

Going to https://my.nintendo.com/ outside of Japan results in a page displaying "My Nintendo will be launching soon!" That's different from before.

 

[HF2014]

Is there like just one screenshot somewhere to see what it look like?

 

[tonyh24613]

Yeah, you can get the Zelda TP picross game with 1000 Pt coins. Though there's not enough missions at the moment.

It crashes immediately for me though.

I'm on my phone, but here is my account for example:

Sad there's no physical rewards.

I think there is. I have 490 coins and can still get 525 more from missions.

What are missions?

 

[entremet]

Seemed pretty obvious. It's cheaper than mailing stuff.

nice.. 104.99

 

[tonyh24613]

I think some of those are miitomo coins not Pt coins?

 

[Sakura]

What are missions?

Crap you do to get coins like "Link your Nintendo and Miitomo account!" or "Sign into the eShop once this week!"

I think some of those are miitomo coins not Pt coins?

I thought it took both? Isn't that why it has a picture of the Miitomo coins and Platinum coins? Or do you need 1000 of one or the other and it doesn't combine

 

[Mailenstein]

It's up on the Japanese App Store for iOS:
Nintendo Co., Ltd.「Miitomo」
https://appsto.re/jp/fksaab.i

 

[Owari]

Perhaps the radio silence is because Apple will be presenting Miitomo on stage on Monday. Surely it beats the horrendous game demos they usually have to showcase along new iPhones. The positive press fallout alone from an Apple + Nintendo announcement would make it worth the silence and would also explain the lack of marketing.

Oh, you're right, now I need to find some way to download Miitomo.

I assume Canada given the current exchange rate.

Thanks for posting this. Now to save up 300 coins for Donkey Kong!

 

[kulapik]

Man, those games with gold points seem expensive, considering that it's basically 10 points for $10.

Pikmin 3 DLC sounds like a good cheap use of Gold Coins.

I want the Twilight Princess Picross game, but I'll wait to hear how much content is in it and if it's free of the F2P stuff in Pokemon Picross. It also seems like a lot of Platinum points just for another Picross game...

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Nice that it's all in English

 

[BooJoh]

So where does Miitomo get your pool of friends from for interaction? Is it your Wii U friends? Game Center (or Android equivalent) friends? Do you have to add them manually in-app?

 

[Mailenstein]

App says my Mii settings are set to copy not permitted. Where are the settings to change that? I don't want to set up a new Mii, which zhe App is kind of forcing me...

Same. I'm on a rooted LG G2 running Marshmellow.

Unprecedented partnership.

Works for me.
Basically seems like tomodachi life for the setup.

 

[Pancake Mix]

The app is set to English if that's what you have your phone set to. Probably like that for all supported languages.

Mii Maker.

Thanks, mate! Appreciate it.

 

[Owari]

So how do we US folk get a Japanese App Store account without a Japanese credit card?

 

[FrsDvl]

Use the app store on your computer. I just did, but the app only lets you pick Japan as location, so it isn't very useful

 

[Kouriozan]

I have a japanese iTunes account but I'm going to wait for the EU release, you probably won't be able to access MyNintendo if you don't live in Japan either.

haha if only, would really help with getting word of mouth out about the app

 

[Owari]

I guess I'll just wait then and cross my fingers they drag Nintendo on stage at the Apple event Monday.

 

[Sakura]

Yea I had to use a VPN to access it.

 

[Owari]

haha if only, would really help with getting word of mouth out about the app

Would be a smart move for both companies tbh, Apple would get a lot of iPhone SE attention from Nintendo fans and Nintendo would get a lot of Miitomo users right off the bat. I mean, Apple has tried and failed so many times to create a coherent social network.. Maybe this is the start of a beautiful friendship.

 

[Dicer]

Anyone with a direct link to an .apk so I can test it on a few devices...

 

[Cbajd5]

Works for me.

It works on my Moto e which isn't rooted nor has an unlocked bootloader. (My Nexus 6p is both, although I have the root disabled which gets past most root checks.)

 

[Sakura]

Seems alright

 

[1upmuffin]

That's a good selection of games! I'd want to save up for New Super Luigi U possibly, or get Mario 64.

Holy shit. Nintendo logo on the App Store is something else...

 

[@MUWANdo]

Does that list include Warioware Touched for 3DS? A DS game as a 3DS download? Could this mean DS games are finally coming to 3DS VC?

 

[Mik2121]

Oh wow the voice setup for Miimoto is actually pretty cool. It gives you a graph with Speed, pitch, Depth, Accent and Energy and you can make voices that range from little kids to old badass deep voices. And they don't sound too robotic! It also has ways to do the delivery of the phrases. Wonder if this will be used throughout the whole system. Edit: Never mind, it gets pretty robotic when reading normal phrases, hahah.

I will check some more during my work break. Oh well!

DS on Wii U =/
