Miitomo Pre-Registration now Open

Nintendo’s Miitomo app is coming next months, but pre-registration for the free download is now open. Those registering their interest in advance won't just get the inside scoop as soon as it's available to suck down their internet tubes, but they'll also get some free points for the new Nintendo reward programme, "My Nintendo", which launches as the same time. 

Miitomo is a social game that uses Nintendo’s Mii characters to lets you spark conversations with your friends in a whole new way. More than 200 million Mii characters now exist across Nintendo systems worldwide, with the cutesy avatars available on the Wii, Wii U and across the 2DS/3DS family of systems. To get started, users can quickly create a Mii character to act as their social go-between, customising its facial features, eyes, hair, as well as voice and personality. Users can also use the camera of their smartphone or tablet to snap a photo that will be translated into Mii form. Of course, if you've already perfected your Mii on the Wii U or 3DS, then you can simply import it using a QR Code.

Launching alongside Miitomo in March, My Nintendo aims to become much more than a traditional rewards program. It is a more comprehensive service that rewards users for interacting with Nintendo products and services in a variety of ways. Miitomo users with a Nintendo Account will be able to take advantage of My Nintendo to enhance their experience.
