Nintendo’s “Miitomo” social media networking app is in a race to disrupt emoticons and coversation style of Facebook
Pre-registration of the application has already begun last month and in March 2016, people already registered are eagerly waiting for the launch.
What is going to be unique about Miitomo?
Firstly, If you are Nintendo fan than you obviously know about Nintendo WII. It debuted the MII character (miiverse) that is in which you can design your own similar looking animated avtar, for conversation and communication with others while playing online live games. This feature of Mii avatars are now being pushed to a new platform. So now with this new social app you can avatar yourself and communicate in a very interseting manner. The CEO of Mii utters “distinctly different feeling from text-based communication.”
Have a look: Erica started a conversation with a group.
And how conversation continued with Mii avatars and images:
Another interesting element is Social-go-between. Here you are asked several question to explore your inner-self about fun elements in you. Others will do the same and you can share with your friends and groups or public. Not have like or dislikes but to start a conversation about your self and also to talk about others.
Also, you can change your attire of your avataar anytime.
Last but not the least you can photoshop your real images taken fron smart devices or from library of images in the app and share it on various other social media platforms.
Though many efforts are been pushed to revive social media communication, it will ultimately rest on the audience how they respond!!!
