I don't suppose anyone's found a way to spoof the face-to-face thing have they? Can't say I see myself getting that any time soon.

poo poo, that reminded me that I should redo my face with the bust from my Planet of the Apes set

You can pry my garlic bread from my cold, dead hands.

I went potato. I like garlic bread but for me, it's way more hit and miss than potato bread. Never had a bad slice of potato bread.

I answered the flower question wrong because all I read was something about how many flowers do I see when I close my eyes blah blah blah i'm not reading the rest of this blah blah blah.

I keep wondering how much money Nintendo is making off selling our answers to third parties.

I have been using some pretty foul language. Can Nintendo ban you?

It's Nintendo.

You can report comments, so yes.

Wait... are style points not given by changing clothes, but by taking a Miifoto afterwards and also having people heart it? It seems like that's how there's such a weird progression.

Might be both but I know it's from putting on new clothes. That's all I've been doing.

I got the Wario game last night. I had it when it came out and remembered it was fun but holy poo poo, I don't remember having to sit through all these 5 minute unskippable cutscenes just to play. Nothing like getting bored and then going back to watching a movie while waiting for the game to spend a few minutes telling me a story I don't care about, just so I can play a 15 second game before having to put it down again for the next episode of the Wario story.

Yeah, this. I didn't realize it until people posted about it just now but there's like actual games or coupons and other stuff you can buy with the platinum coins you get from this game.

Of course, as far as I can tell there's no way to know this unless you already knew Nintendo points were a thing before miitomo and made the connection that the coins you're earning that say "miitomo" on them are actually functionally equivalent to regular Nintendo platinum points so you knew to save them instead of spending them on miitomo stuff which is the only thing this app displays they're used for.

Duh.

https://my.nintendo.com/missions

https://my.nintendo.com/rewards

If you check the missions page, you get points for signing into the Nintendo eshop and miiverse, among other things. You might have points sitting out there to collect and not even know it.

Am i missing something? Looks like the gold coins are actually for games and the platinum points are for %15 off old games (which is not a lot of money). Not seeing the issue with spending your platinum on trivial Mii poo poo.

Go to the rewards site and click on any of those Mii clothing rewards and look at the cost. They're all platinum.

I probably did at some point, but it turns out points expire six months after you first earn them so my account was empty. I did get the free 50 points for the "tutorial" mission they give you, and I already have like 500 from miitomo.

So basically it looks like if you've never done anything with Nintendo points before you can do all the easy linking accounts stuff and use miitomo for a week or so and get a free virtual console game out of it. I can't imagine grinding 1000 points from scratch using just miitomo and the other two "log into this service to get points!" options though, it'd probably take a solid two months to get a single virtual console game

Maybe a month and a half if you make sure to do the daily stuff. Faster if you have friends commenting and giving you hearts.

I think I'd rather save all my time and spend money on the games I could earn instead. I got my one game out of it so far. I'm happy with that.

What can I get points for with my computer?

Linking accounts, if you haven't already done so, and signing into miiverse once a week. You can make a steady 30 points a week without ever using the app.

I'm pretty sure you don't need to! All the Miitomo missions have auto-collected the platinum coins on my phone. Or maybe it's phone-dependent?

You do need to use the website for some.

Anaxite posted:

Which ones?

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.

I used the site for the miiverse and logging into the eshop weekly stuff but maybe those get picked up too?

They'll end up throwing on a really good award later on to get everyone back into it and then we'll remember how much we hated doing all the daily stuff again.

Deleted this app days ago. The most use I got from it is having goons on my Twitter feed.

Enjoy answering how many flowers you can see in your mind.

The flowers I see are from potatoes and it's before they're picked to make potato bread
