With socialmedia in disarray, Nintendo's ill-fated Miitomo app now feels like a lost paradise.
Whether or not you agree with Twitter’s current direction under Elon Musk, it’s safe to say that the social media platform is going through a rough patch. Its staff has been gutted, it’s been notably buggier in recent weeks, and there’s a general instability in the air that has advertisers concerned. All that, coupled with a string of controversial moves, has some users seriously considering a true Twitter exodus.
In this moment of desperation, I’ve found myself missing one specific social app. It was a flawed, but endearing little experiment that I took for granted at the time. No discourse, no chaos, just warm vibes. It was a miniature utopia that perhaps we just weren’t ready for when it launched in 2016.Where everybody knows your name Miitomo’s only real historical claim to fame is that it was Nintendo’s first mobile game.
It was downright puzzling at first. The app was modest in its ambitions, only having a very select set of features at launch. Users could create their own Mii, buy clothing for them, and customize their own room. Users could friend one another and share photos of their Mii characters as if they were using some alternate version of Instagram that existed in the Miiverse.
While it was all a bit strange, I found myself using Miitomo every day in earnest. It became a sincere social hub that encouraged people to get to know their friends, rather than use it to shine a spotlight on themselves. The more I used it, the more I began to learn real facts I never knew about my closest pals. There was a genuine sense of connection on the app; it really felt like your neighbors were coming over to check in on you anytime a Mii walked into your house.
