So, you're calling an event that is still ~5 months away as being botched simply because it was delayed to that point and all we know about it so far is a mobile version of a combination of the very successful Street Pass/Tomodatchi series?

And that had they released that last week, it would not have been botched?


It's a game that uses Miis so that you can enter prepackaged comments about stuff you like to do as an ice breaker.  If you don't think that sounds lame, I don't know what to tell you.

We're core gamers.  That's going to sound lame to  us.

Did you really think these mobile games were going to be targeted to us? That's what they have consoles for.


Trust me, buddy: it sounds lame to all the people who already play games on phones and aren't waiting around counting down the days for Nintendo to put out 'Miitomo.'

"Oooh, mommy! Mommy! Look! An app with an unpronouncable weird name that lets me find out more about that weird old guy who always waits by the bus stop! Can I download it? Can I stop playing Minecraft/racing game/countless already successful mobile games to play this?"

Or the lady on the bus who plays word search/crystal matching games all the time anyway and has for years... she isn't counting down the days til Miitomo.

It will interest precisely the hardcore Nintendo fans who are making excuses for it: and even then, probably only until after they give it a shot.

"Ohh, but maybe they will add in NEW games that you can play THROUGH Miitomo that are actual games one day!"

Sure: and then it isn't Miitomo you give a crap about at all, but the hypothetical games where the draw is they are NOT Miitomo.

And the last time Nintendo did something like that ON a console, it was Wii Party U and it sucked.

Why would this suddenly be magically good?
