Learning About Miitomo, With A Social Media Agency

By Robert Sutter


Nintendo is, without question, one of the biggest companies in the gaming world and few can disagree. Its social activity, however, is something that hasn't been discussed in relation to the aforementioned company. Enter Miitomo, which came about on mobile devices this past March. If you'd like to know how why such an app has potential in the eyes of social media agencies, the following details should prove to be insightful.

For those who do not know, Miitomo is a social messaging app released by Nintendo, which should look familiar to those who have played the company's recent outings. All you have to do is look at the introduction of the familiar Miis, which are Nintendo-branded avatars of sorts. These can be customized however you'd like, including hairstyles, facial hair, and even clothing. Of course, there are other details that authorities like fishbat.com can draw your attention to.

What you should also know about Miitomo is that it features missions that users can complete. For example, you receive a bonus if you change the clothes that your avatar wears on a daily basis. When people ask you questions, you'll be able to answer them, which can then be given hearts - or likes - and responded to with additional comments. In any event, you should know that Miitomo is, at its heart, an app that's focused on social activity.

In order for this social aspect to be seen, though, you have to understand that friends must be added first. For this to be done, you can link your Facebook and Twitter accounts to Miitomo, which will then look up who else has the app based on your lists of friends and followers. In addition, if you're in the same room with someone who has the app, you can add them via face-to-face methods. For those who social on other platforms, Miitomo is all the more beneficial.

For those who are looking to get the most out of Miitomo, these are just a few talking points worth noting. What's also worth recognizing is that during its first three days in Japan, Miitomo was able to secure one million downloads. It's difficult to say if this momentum will be sustained in the West, but things seem to be looking up so far. Needless to say, Nintendo's first true efforts on the social media front are nothing short of intriguing.
