Nintendo’s first smartphone app goes live in US on Mar 31

Nintendo’s first smartphone app, Miimoto will go live in the United States and some other countries tomorrow i.e. March 31. The free-to-start social app lets users initiate conversations with their friends using their Mii characters. This is not the game you’d expect from Nintendo but the game has been quite a hit in its home market, Japan where the game clocked more than a million downloads in the first three days of its release, making it the number one app downloaded app in the iTunes App Store and Play Store.

Users can link their Facebook or Twitter account with their Miis and initiate conversations and questions in the form of a play prompting every user to answer all kinds of questions.
