Nintendo’s First Mobile Game Miitomo is the Most Popular App for iPhone and Android in Japan

Nintendo’s first mobile title — Miitomo — has only been out in Japan for less than a week, but according to Google Play and the App Store, it trumps its competition in popularity. News comes by way of industry consultant Dr. Serkan Toto, who tweeted a set of photos (below) showcasing Miitomo in the top spot for most popular free apps on both storefronts. This should be of little surprise to many, seeing that they had already reached one million users within their first three days — a substantial figure for a Japan-only release.

Miitomo is set to release in North America and many other European countries before the end of this month for iOS and Android devices. Check out the photos and the tweet, below:
