==Features== thumb|left|150px|A Mii character greeting the player. Users could visit their own Miis' rooms to answer questions and send messages. Miitomo served as a conversational app where users could communicate with friends by answering questions on various topics, such as favorite foods or current interests. Similar to Tomodachi Life, which some of the Miitomo development team also worked on, players used a Mii avatar which they could create from scratch or obtain from their My Nintendo account or a QR code, and gave it a computer generated voice and personality. Users could add friends to Miitomo by communicating directly with their device or by linking the app to their Facebook and Twitter accounts. By tapping their Mii, users could answer various questions which were shared with their friends, while tapping their thought bubble allowed them to hear answers from other friends. Users could visit, or be visited by, other friends and were able to answer certain questions that would only be shared with a specific friend. Players were also able to take pictures of their Mii, known as "MiiFotos", which could be shared with friends as well as posted online. Performing various actions in the app would earn "Miitomo Coins", which could also be obtained through in-app purchases. These coins could be spent on various clothing items that can be used to customize the user's Mii. Additional clothing items could be obtained through the "Miitomo Drop" minigame, which could be played by either spending "Miitomo Coins" or using Game Tickets earned through play. The app was tied into My Nintendo's rewards scheme, with users able to earn "Miitomo Platinum Points" by clearing missions such as changing their outfits daily or linking their accounts. Miitomo Platinum Points could be exchanged for special item rewards or additional Game Tickets, or could be combined with standard Platinum Points for other My Nintendo rewards.
