There's a new way to add Nintendo to your day. Nintendo just launched Miitomo, the company's first ever smart device app, in Canada and other countries. Currently free, the app offers users a new way of socializing with friends and family using Mii characters.
Teasers were noticed the last couple of days leading up to the Canadian launch allowing people to pre-register on their devices. A notification will be sent to let those registered know when the app goes live today. Users can create a customized characters with features like eyes and hair as well as voice and personality. There is also the option to take a photo which can be used to create a character. Mii Characters can also be imported from their Wii U or Nintendo 3DS systems.
