Nintendo has announced that Miitomo will be released in Japan on March 17th. That’s next week!

The western release date, including Australia is still set for some time in March. Perhaps it will arrive the week later.

Miitomo is Nintendo’s first mobile application and will use your Mii to communicate with friends.
