Miitomo tops 1 million users in just three days
Nintendo’s first smartphone app has been a roaring success in Japan, having already racked up over one million users in just three days.
Miitomo launched on March 16 on Japanese app stores for iOS and Android, instantly topping the free app chart on the day of its release. The figures were announced via the app’s official Twitter page:
Miitomo(ミートモ)のお客様が、3日で100万人を突破しました！早々のことで私も驚いております。ご利用ありがとうございます！！
Miitomoはたくさんのトモダチとつながることで更に面白くなりますので、引き続きお楽しみください。 #Miitomo— Miitomo【公式】 (@Miitomo_JP) March 19, 2016
The app’s official launch trailer was released late last week, in preparation for its Western launch sometime before the end of the month. Miitomo lets users customise their appearance, voice and personality to suit their own. In-game photo studio Miifoto allows users to take in-app photos of their Mii’s in various poses with their friends, and can even create custom birthday images. Users are also be able to pose with their own Mii’s and customise the images with a range of stickers and messages.
Miitomo should be launching sometime this week.
