Just posted by Nintendo (NCL, so Japanese) on Twitter.

Delivery start date of Concerning Copyrights "Miitomo" was decided on March 17, 2016 (Thursday). It should be noted that, so you end reception at noon of March 16th for pre-registration, please register as soon as possible.

 

[RandomExpletive]

Ah good, a solid date, now I can stop checking the site every day

 

[Rubixcuba]

Miitomo Direct inbound?

 

[hwy_61]

Ohhh SHIT

MIITOMO HYYYYYPE

 

[Kthulhu]

Hopefully this is worldwide and not just Japan. Also on iOS and Android the same day.

 

[BlackJace]

On my birfday, nice

 

[motherxwolf]

What exactly is it? Lol I'm signed up for about account but have no clue what it is

 

[DigtialT]

Happy Birthday to me

 

[AdanVC]

Next week aw yisss. But why do I get excited I live in a country were Miitomo would not be available till who knows when...

 

[hwy_61]

What exactly is it? Lol I'm signed up for about account but have no clue what it is

I think it's like tomodachi life?

*shrug*

 

[Dicer]

Looks like a social media tool with Mii's

 

[Isotope]

Title should probably mention that it's launching first in Japan. We don't have a release date outside of Japan yet; it's still "March".

Unless this is for a worldwide release, then disregard me.

 

[RedToad64]

Miitomo Direct inbound?

Why does a social app need its own Direct?

 

[-Horizon-]

So that means My Nintendo should also be launching pretty soon.

It's launching simultaneously in all the countries that are currently able to register Nintendo Accounts I believe. Though Japan will still launch first (except maybe Australia, not sure if they're on the list or not) due to timezones

 

[notaskwid]

Meh, not over here.

 

[random25]

Too bad it's not available here just to try it out.

No, you're probably right. I remembered the third quarter financial results briefing incorrectly:

Here's the list:

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I love Miis and am very excited for this.

I just want to be able to waste time and earn stuff for regular games on Nintendo consoles.

 

[Hockey123]

The GOTY is almost here.

 

[Aaronrules380]

No, you're probably right. I remembered the third quarter financial results briefing incorrectly:

Here's the list:

Ok, maybe I misunderstood the earlier slides. Guess Japan will launch first

 

[TVGamer]

Looking forward to actually seeing what this app is about. Still not entirely sure what it's supposed to be other than that I use miis to talk to friends.

 

[Mediking]

I wonder why one of their first apps isn't... like... accessing Nintendo Eshop from a phone...

Miitomo sounds... interesting... kinda...

 

[Slermy]

Nice. I've been holding off on eShop purchases until the new Nintendo service goes up. I want to maximize my "rewards".

 

[Enforced]

Nice! I'm looking forward to it.
Edit: oh Japan will get it first

 

[Pyrokai]

So to be sure I'm clear: it's March 17th for Japan with TBA in March for everywhere else?

 

[Calvero]

On my birthday! Sweet!

 

[OnionPowder]

Finally!!

 

[xzeldax3]

Nice. I've been holding off on eShop purchases until the new Nintendo service goes up. I want to maximize my "rewards".

Smart person right here! I've been doing the same. I can't wait for the new stuff to roll out!

 

[Slermy]

*High Five*

 

[OmegaFax]

Guessing that Twilight Princess Picross release date wasn't a placeholder in the US? The 31st is exactly two weeks from the 17th.

 

[Hale-XF11]

I signed up for it, then completely forgot about it.

 

[Neoxon]

Time to make sure that I have enough space on my phone for this. Glad I signed up ahead of time.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Yup. There's some Wii U Eshop games I want to support by buying at full price and since I've known about reward points since before the new year I've waited.

 

[tonyh24613]

Wish this also means My Nintendo service will also starts on Mar 17th.

 

[Blueblur1]

Judging by the lack of replies to this thread it looks like GAF people aren't really interested?

 

[Mpl90]

Well, since Nintendo stated several times MyNintendo and Miitomo will launch simulatenously, this means MyNintendo is coming on March 17th in Japan as well. Quite hyped for it, to be honest

 

[Lambtron]

Judging by the lack of replies to this thread it looks like GAF people aren't really interested?

It sounds similar to Tomodachi Collection but you meet people via StreetPass? This sounds like something I will be going ham for.

 

[KingSnake]

"Miitomo hype", lol.

I registered for it for the points, I hope I don't need to download it.

 

[GreatNumber]

*asked a question I answered within the question*

 

[iBlue]

So that means we will have the Nintendo account for the 17th? One day before pokken.

 

[evanmisha]

"Miitomo hype", lol.

I registered for it for the points, I hope I don't need to download it.

Apparently you'll also get points for using it somehow, so clear out that fridge

 

[tonyh24613]

So I guess that March 31st picross release is for NA, can't wait to see those new physical goods.

 

[KingSnake]

Remember when Nintendo told the investors that they delayed Miitomo to spring 2016 because they need to communicate it properly and didn't want to collide with the Holiday marketing?

Can't wait to see that big marketing campaign in the upcoming week!

 

[SalvaPot]

Should I wait for México release or use a VPN...

Decisions decisions.

 

[Pokemaniac]

With Japan getting it next week, I'd guess everyone else will get it a week or two after.

 

[Kouriozan]

It'd be interesting if it is a hub-like app where you can launch other Nintendo mobile games or even have minigames in it.

 

[-shadow-]

So My Nintendo also starts the 17th?

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

So My Nintendo also starts the 17th?

It seems it's concurrent, but I'd like to know for sure as well. I've been holding off on eShop purchases until we've seen what the new account rewards system is like.

 

[KooopaKid]

It begins.
