So it looks like during an investor's meeting, Nintendo spoke about their first game and they're calling it Miitomo.
It appears that the concept is for it to be a social networking app where users creates Miis that can communicate with each other.
Here's a short excerpt from the Kotaku article (The link is at the bottom for those that want to read it):
In Miitomo, each player first makes their own Mii. Then, players are asked a series of questions and based on those answers, they communicate with other Miis.
Think of it as a social networking game, but for Miis. Or a new incarnation of the game Tomodachi Life.
This communication app is used with Nintendo’s new service, My Nintendo. According to Nintendo, that service is described as a way to bridge consoles and smartphone devices.
I'm actually quite surprised they didn't go with Mario, their most iconic character for their first game. I understand that there's a lot of value for companies in social networking, but I'm not sure if I like the idea of a standalone app for that function especially when the scene around social networking apps already feels so bloated.
