Miitomo Shutting Down May 9, 2018

Logged into myNintendo to see this news post. https://my.nintendo.com/news/c9473be864fcaca3.

A little surprised to see this, I knew it didn't really set the world on fire for Nintendo's first Phone outing, but I figured this would be super popular in Japan or something. I was into this for a hot minute when it launched but quickly got bored. Any of you duders get into Miitomo?, any of you still playing?

I fell off almost immediately. It reminded me of Tomodachi Life but wasn't as good for me. I know the decision was likely made because it isn't making enough to support itself but it is a bit surprising to see it go down so quickly.

Forgot it even existed, I clicked on this thread wondering how they could shut down a 3DS rpg.

I played this game every day since launch and its kind of a weight off my shoulder that it's shutting down. I've never put any money into the game and have over 150k in coins and 500 tickets from just doing dailies. Its a fun time waster when on the porcelain throne but overall has no substance.

The questions were fun for a little while. Glad I didn't put any money into it, I guess.

I played it for a good month or so with my friends but eventually we ran out of things to ask/answer and we all dropped off.

I made a stupid amount of friends here and on Twitter thanks to that game. Love the concept, and I hope to see a more interactive spiritual successor somewhere down the line.

@sparky_buzzsaw: I would be totally down for some kind of expanded version of this idea.

That's not surprising. It wasn't really much of a game or a social platform. I have no idea why they made it or how they planned to monetize it.

It was bound to happen. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner considering how many people stopped using it after they realized it wasn't exactly the mobile Nintendo game they hoped for.

I never played it but this seems pretty bad; it only launched in 2016. Unless nobody is playing it, which could well be the case. I expect there has been a similar cliff-edge to Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.
