1. Do you know if the app itself is region locked?

   • +taiodesu4649 I heard it wasn’t. I know Android users are able to use it
     just by downloading the APK. I’m going to wait until it’s released here
     though so I can just link my Nintendo Account.

2. Thought jeff was gone from YouTube he just moved to another channel :)

3. man, that old school music :D, belated Happy Birthday bro

4. Happy birthday Jeff! sorry for being late though

5. Free ???

   • Yeah free

6. “My name is Jeff!” If only you could make it sound like the movie!

7. How do you access the Japp store in North America?

   • apk most likely

   • You can register a foreign account
     (Seriously? Apk?)

   • On your computer: Open iTunes Store, scroll down, click on your country’s
     flag, choose Japan.
     (Now you have to create a new iTunes account)
     On the same page: Click sign in > Create account.
     (This way the billing address will be in Japan)
     On your iOS: Sign in to that new account in your Settings > iTunes & App
     Stores.
     All set! Open your App Store and search Miitomo.

   • Japp Store thi

8. Potential copyright strike incoming.

   • +Verted Intro No strike, that’s what Content ID is for.

   • +9to5Mac Exactly. Content ID. The broken system Google implemented into
     YouTube that Nintendo will abuse to get this video taken down unless you
     give them money.

   • +James Rowe I think the point was that a copyright strike isn’t coming.

9. Can you pay in usd for any in app purchase ? Or will we just have to wait
   till its released here for that ?

   • +Cristian Johnston You’ll have to wait.

   • +9to5Mac Thought so, thanks btw

12. What Japanese Apple ID did you use?

13. Very similar to Line Play, the avatar-customizable, social-media service
    app by Line company. Which is not to say they’re copying them! Looking
    forward to experience Nintendo’s unique spin on this app format, can’t wait
    :o

14. Why is the statusbar like that within the app?

    • I wondered that to

15. Only available in Japan but it’s all in English… Why?

    • You choose the language the first time you open the app.

16. it’s literally tomodachi life 2 omg

    • TOMOdachi Life
      MiiTOMO

17. The Mii’s are as big if not a bigger IP franchise than Mario for Nintendo.
    This is a major game for them and not meant to be downplayed cause it’s not
    “traditional.”

18. I just realized this if a iOS and android device is easy to jailbreak and
    stuff like that easier then Nintendo console SOO maybe you could hack
    miitomo…
