We released Miitomo in March this year, and it will
soon reach 15 million unique users. This title has not
been impactful from a profit perspective, but the
trends have been largely according to our
expectations.
As our initial foray into the smart device business,
Miitomo has focused on bringing Nintendo’s
entertainment to as many people as possible across
the world. Another main goal of Miitomo has been to
let consumers connect with their friends. We are
making preparations to allow friend relationships from
Miitomo to be carried over to Super Mario Run. Since
Super Mario Run has a mode where you can compete
with other players, this means that active
communication with your family and friends in
Miitomo will lead to even more fun moments in Super
Mario Run.
In order to enjoy Miitomo with your family and friends,
we are planning a major update soon that will
completely transform Miitomo by making
communication with your friends even more fun. This
update will introduce a unique message feature that
lets you use your Mii character’s facial expressions and
voice to send any message you want in expressive
one-on-one communication. We are also planning
additional features.
