Thank god its not really a full-fledged game.I mean, we all knew it wasnt, but with Nintendo, you never know!!

Now,as their first mobile game, i think it was an excellent choice.Spemanig has already said pretty much what i think the game is going to be and all.I think this game will be a almost sure hit in Japan, since it was probably focused on that country, so for the west its going to be harder sell, but we still need to see more about the game.

About My Nintendo, it is very ineteresting, specially about the parts of getting points(to redeem rewards) through playing.I always had the idea, and romanced about it, that it was the natural evolution of the trophies and achievements.Not only it would give incentive to play to 100% complete it, but also would give an incentive to take out th most of your game and be rewarded with possible rewards!I just hope that one of the My Nintendo rewards are free games, the part that i loved most about Club Nintendo.Or that you could buy a free game through buying the discount coupons, and that they stack up to the point that you dont have to pay a cent for the game

If it's a Free to Play game (or at least free to start) it will sell well in the West. People loved the Miis during the Wii/DS era, and that audience is now on mobile. And Nintendo fans will download it, anyway.

I like the idea for cumulative discounts too. I suppose they would have a limit (like some games would be able to take a 33% discount max while others would get a 80-90%), but I also I'm interested in some physical goodies. I still want some Nintendo Club items, I would have paid for them :(



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Where are the people that thought it's gonna be some major game? X∆

I really dont think this is going to be as big as some think it will.

its basically the way to get nintendo consumers more involved with the My Nintendo account system.


In which case, it has to be big. We don't know enough yet, but I'm thinking it's going to be massive. People thinking it will only be big in Japan are kidding themselves.

From my POV I am not sure why anyone would replace their current messenging app for this, especially in Asia where various messengers are already engrained into society at large. 

But yes of course, more information would be welcome to get a better idea of the app's scope 


I think people are seriously misunderstanding what this is, then. I don't think it's a messaging app at all. Like, I haven't seen anything that says you can directly message people at all. At least, that's not the impression I got. It seems like the Miis interact with each other on their own, like little Sims. I could be wrong, though, but I definitely don't think it's just like Tinder with Miis or something.

EDIT: I lied. There's clearly a chat feature. Don't know why I thought that was automated between Miis.



Also something important to point out. This app is meant to use and build your friends list. Your Nintendo Account friends list. The same one that will be used for the NX. Be prepared to have hundreds or more friends by the time the NX rolls out. This is going to be extremely tied into gaming. Like console gaming. Remember, this app is not just between real life friends, but online gaming friends as well.

Can't wait for this app. So well thought out.

No mention of which mobile platforms the game will be on?

thank god its a small/new IP was afraid it was going to be Pikmin 4.

Lol for that I am grateful. Although, a Pikmin spin-off for mobile could work pretty well as a pay-up-front mobile title. I would go for it.

I hope it allows more than 100 firends. I have my StreetPass friends list almost full, there's only room for a couple more.

There could be automated chat to start the meeting process, so NP.

 

Need to see more of course. 


We definitely need to see more. Again, I think it'll be more like Street Pass than Tomodachi, with a Rusty-like pay model.

That seems like a no brainer. You can sign up through Facebook and Twitter. It has to.
