I'm sorry internet Nintendo friends but I'm burning out on Miitomo and pruning my friend list may combat this. Feel free to remove me on Twitter as retribution if I axe you, I'll probably have to do the reverse to keep my friend suggestion queue under control.

I've tested missions a bit more. It seems like Miitomo missions won't necessarily auto-complete the moment you fulfil the conditions. However, the next time the app loads up, it tries to collect all missions you've completed. At least on Android.

So, the Humble Bundle is selling a bunch of WiiU and 3DS games this week. I dunno if you guys wanna check that out? I don't have either of those systems and this is the only Nintendo topic I post in.

I've played and beat Darksiders 2, it's like Diablo-style loot mixed with, maybe, Bayonetta-lite combos?

Like how they're painting it as essentially troll-free social media, and the comparison between going to a bar vs having friends over for dinner.

Those are different. They're not directly linked to Miitomo, and need to be clicked through to get the coins.

Along with the Splatoon wigs and drops, the new Nintendo rewards for Miitomo appeared... six Splatoon ink tanks, each a different color, for 150 platinum coins each. There's also some other Nintendo news:
  • Miitomo passed 10,000,000 users, and we're getting a special daily bonus every day from April 29-May 9.
  • There will also be three Miitomo drops that were only available in Japan at launch, two days each during this period.
  • Nintendo will release two new phone apps in Fall, one for Fire Emblem and one for Animal Crossing. Apparently they'll complement the console games.
  • Nintendo NX: Global release March 2017.

Nintendo posted:

Both of these are pure game applications. Compared to Miitomo, they have more prominent game elements, and the game content will tie closely into Nintendo’s dedicated games business.

They are also saying that they want the Fire Emblem game to be a "more accessible' title of the franchise, and will be tying the Animal Crossing game in to their planned console release. Basically, Nintendo saw how companies like Bethesda developed a beneficial cross-platform promotion for their games and now they want a piece.

Unfortunately, it will be another year before we see the NX released, and you can bet that these projected releases will be included as debut titles or later releases for this newer system, as opposed to the flatlining WiiU.

e. Of course, there is a slight possibility as Nintendo also said they won't have the NX at the upcoming E3, so they're going to have very little to talk about unless they start breaking out the cross-platforming.

They're just talking about Zelda. Maybe show some Paper Mario or whatever, but mostly it'll be Zelda. They're pretty much skipping E3 this year.

I'm still under the impression that this is all in regards to their presence on the floor, and not the Nintendo Direct they release in lieu of a live press conference. They can still show whatever other stuff on the video, but Zelda-U is the only thing they're bringing out in person.

I'm an optimist.

They're probably gonna show some stuff, but I wouldn't expect any awesome surprises. The Wii U is done getting big new games, unfortunately :(

Maybe they'll have another Zelda 3DS game or something though? Single player this time?

An update for Miitomo is coming soon and will include the following new features:

Send friend requests via e-mail and other methods, allowing you to connect with friends who aren't linked to you via social media.
• Answer the same questions as others when viewing "All answers."
• Edit a Miifoto before posting it as a comment.
• Speed optimizations for various processes.

Same here. What a flash in the pan that was. I wonder what their usage stats look like. I'd be very interested in seeing a line chart from launch until now.

As I've mentioned before it really just doesn't have enough game to keep me engaged. I've gone back to Hearthstone as my go-to mobile game, and I'm trying out Kingdom Hearts, too.

Miitomo is complete garbage and poo poo. The only thing about it that could be considered good is nothing. I mean the photos. Those are sort of fun. But everything else is terrible. It eats up a huge amount of storage. It is slow. It is buggy. It is feature-poor.
