"Pre-registration" (whatever that means) for Miitomo is expected to open February 17. A full rollout for both iOS and Android will happen around March 15. Miitomo will launch in eight languages: Japanese, English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, and Russian.

Miitomo is a so-called "free to start" game starring Mii characters. Imagine a business model like shareware with DOOM, but with far less gameplay before the app asks you to pay up. Or if you have played it, I'm guessing you'll get about as much free content as in Steel Diver: Sub Wars before you are asked to pay to continue.

Nintendo also intends to use free-to-start for more mobile games other than Miitomo. New CEO Tatsumi Kimishima said the next game following Miitomo would not be a communications game but would instead utilize one or more of the Nintendo characters with which fans are well acquainted.
