I only have one friend that regularly uses miitomo, but I've been having a lot of fun with the app. Of course, our answers are 99% rude and disgusting things I want my mii to say, so it's pretty much become a contest to see who can make who laugh harder.

My Nintendo itself is ok. I like that you can get points pretty easily, and I already redeemed a few rewards like Twilight Princess Picross. Like many others though, I miss the old physical rewards from Club Nintendo. And not getting any coins for NES/GB virtual console games is terrible.

I can only assume Miitomo is Nintendo's way of dipping their toe into the mobile waters. My experience pretty much went like this: Create character, answer a few questions, log in every day to get free currency, play a game plinko games, repeat, stop entirely.

Keep in mind I have no friends that play new Nintendo stuff so I have literally zero friends, but I don't really see the point. Plus I don't understand the currency system they have going on right now. There's like 3-4 different currencies.

That was literally my experience as well. It was fun for a week and then I deleted it.

I can see if you have no friends who use it, it isn't fun at all. It's a version of social media, and it's hard to be social by yourself Xp

I have like 10 or so friends and I'm still enjoying it quite a bit. I still hop on every day and see all of their silly answers to questions and give silly answers myself. Bought myself the Donkey Kong MyNintendo 3DS theme the other day as well. I really dig the music, and it's nice to have something rotate in and out with my Slowpoke one.

I'm not gonna read through 4 pages to see if this has been posted yet:



But all the same, it sums up just fine how I see the product.

I'm definitely not the demographic.

I don't care for it except for getting Silver/Miitomo Coins. I routinely forget to check it. It's... definitely not for me.

I erased it. The drop game for useless costumes wasn't fun at all, and it really does nothing else otherwise than have you get asked personal information to fill out. What it does though is keep growing in size largely every time it is used from what I saw over the original download size as you win more junk or answer more questions. It got to where it was eating up enough I removed it to get the space back on my phone.

One month later and it definitely is wearing thin. I still use it almost daily so I can get the platinum coins, but I just use it to answer 3 random questions and change clothes to get 10 points. Also idk about anyone else, but one of the latest updates screwed up the audio so it isn't even funny to hear my mii say things anymore since it cuts in and out.

Until I read this thread, I'd forgotten I even had it installed. I need to get a few more platinum coins to cash in on that Zelda Picross, though.

(Scratch that, I have enough. Just need to decide if that's what I want to use them on.)

Ok anyone still using this? I've not reloaded the apps on my phone since switching them and I'm not quite sure I miss them in the first place. Especially since last I checked most of the games and such included are ones I'd rather have physically and there's obviously no chance of nintendo going physical with the rewards unless something has changed within the past few months. Unless something has changed I'll be keen to believe that it was handled as poorly as the vita...
