Nintendo are Shutting Down Miitomo

Miitomo, Nintendo's first smartphone app, will be shutting down later this year. 

Nintendo made the announcement on the app's website and detailed how the shutdown will unfold. Users will no long be able to buy in-game currency effective immediately but Nintendo will continue to provide coins and game tickets so uses can use the app's many features. 

The full shutdown will take place on 9th May, at which point users will not be able to interact with any part of the app. Here is a breakdown from Nintendo: 

• You will no longer be able to see your answers or messages in the app.
• You will no longer be able to use items you’ve obtained in the app, such as clothing items, wallpapers, or posters.
• You can transfer your Mii character to your Nintendo Account by linking it to Miitomo. (Its personality and other information will not be carried over.)
• Sidekick Mii characters will be deleted. You can keep Sidekick Mii characters by saving them as a QR Code before the end of service on May 9 at 12 a.m. PT. They can then be transferred to Mii Maker on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems or the Wii U console.
• You will not be able to view Miifotos, including Miifotos you have shared to your social media channels. If you want to save any Miifotos, you must save them to your smart device before May 9 at 12 a.m. PT.
• Miitomo- themed icons and clothing items used in your Nintendo Account or the Super Mario Run game will not display after the service has ended.

On top of this, and to say thank you to it's users, Miitomo is hosting 'The Final Thank You Festival'. This will give players a daily login bonus until the shutdown along with some fan and games. 

Miitomo released back in March 2016 on iOS and Android devices. It will be shutting down on 9th May.
