What is miitomo?

Miitomo was a free-to-play social networking mobile game developed and published by Nintendo. It was released in March 2016 and discontinued in May 2018.

The core gameplay revolved around players creating and customizing their own Mii avatar. Players could then answer various questions posed by the game. These answers would be shared with their friends' Miis in order to encourage conversation and discovery.

Key features included:

• Mii creation and customization: Players could design their Mii's appearance and personality.
• Answering questions: This was the primary way to interact with friends.
• Miifoto: Users could create images with their Miis and other characters in various poses and settings.
• Miitomo Drop: A mini-game used to win clothing items.

While initially popular, Miitomo's appeal waned over time, leading to its eventual shutdown. It was seen as Nintendo's first foray into the mobile gaming market, paving the way for later, more successful titles.
