The video game juggernaut is slated to release five smartphone games by March 2017, and a strategy briefing on Thursday pulled back the curtain on the hushed project.

"In the new Miitomo game, users will design their own avatars, or "Miis," to communicate with other users. Executive Shinya Takahashi says that Nintendo will find ways to encourage people who are hesitant to talk to share things about themselves," The Wall Street Journal announced.
There is a chance, however, that Miitomo will play more like a "communications app." Even if it does so, it will familiarize users with the ability to port their mobile play to consoles, one of the major tenants Nintendo is looking to promote with their latest creation.
Promotion for Miitomo will start after the holiday season and the official release is slated for March.
