Welcome to a new age for Nintendo.
The company’s first mobile game, Miitomo, is available now on the iOS and Android app stores. It represents Nintendo’s first attempt to become part of the $34.8 billion mobile industry (worth that much in 2015 according to market research firm Newzoo).
Miitomo has players making avatars that interact with friends by asking social questions about their personalities. It also allows you to dress up you characters (with, of course, real money helping you unlock more apparel).
Miitomo came out in Japan earlier in the month.
