My Nintendo Is Live (In Japan)

It’s taken almost forever but now both Miitomo and My Nintendo are live! Albeit they are only live in Japan at this current moment in time, the fact remains they are now both officially out and it is now just a manner of days before the rest of the globe gets to experience these new delights. miitomo

Nintendo’s first mobile game is ready for download and if you do fancy trying to get it early you can, you just need to configure your shop settings on your phone to being in Japan, so that you can download Miitomo, which is comes in English (one of eight langauges).

Now if there is something in this list that you just have to get your hands on, be sure to check out the image below for information on how you can get yourself Platinum and Gold points:

Going by this list, buying software from the eShop seems the best way to go, but if like me, you prefer physical games to digital, you are more than welcome to stick to clearing the Miitomo missions such as listening to your friends answers 10 times a day, linking your Miitomo to Facebook, or even changing your Mii’s clothes once a day.

This is our first true glimpse into just what we can expect to see from Nintendo’s new account system and already they’re off to a good start, but we’d love to hear what you think of these rewards for My Nintendo and if you are interested in getting Miitomo for your phone.
