It's finally happened. Nintendo has revealed, Miitomo, their first mobile game in partnership with DeNA. Miitomo will be a social app that allows smart phone/tablet users to socialize with each other in a new way.

Nintendo released the following statement about the Miitomo project, explaining that it is "a free-to-start communication application that helps friends share fun personal facts and interests. Consumers create and use their own Mii characters to engage friends in a welcoming social environment, answering questions and sharing information to discover more about each other and what they have in common. Miitomo is designed to appeal to a wide range of global smart device users and introduce them to the uniquely Nintendo experiences beginning with Miitomo and carried through future applications."

Nintendo first announced their desire to jump into the mobile market with a partnership with DeNa back in March of this year. It was originally stated that they would have 5 new titles by March of 2017.
While originally slated to launch this year, Miitomo has been delayed until sometime in 2016 as Nintendo said they could use "more lead time to fully promote and explain Miitomo". Luckily Nintendo has a lot of other great games out this year.
