Tbh, I miss Miitomo. That whole era of inventiveness, innocence, and shitposting felt so genuine.
I'd say I miss Miiverse and Swapnote too, but those were revived via Homebrew! And tbh, they're just as great as they were when Nintendo ran the service.

@Goldkin I said it on BSky (though with errors) but "Nutrients the human body can process~" genuinely just pops up in my brain unprompted haha
I do miss Miitomo though, even if I didn't use it much haha

@DarkOverord Same. I was pretty active on it early on, until DeNa burned me on their monetization being arbitrary and hella insecure.
DeNa got better at the mobile thing since then (going by TCG Pocket, anyway?), but that kind of whimsy was what made Miitomo (and the Wii generation in general) so neat.

@Goldkin @DarkOverord I don't trust the card game game not to be gacha hell. > .>;

@Aether @DarkOverord Oh it's _totally_ gacha hell, they're just doing payment processing right now. I enjoyed it for a bit, but put it down for now.
That said: I want to see the format they developed for it succeed. First to 3 points and simple, legible card effects that play well. I think it would play very well over the table if they print the special versions they introduced for Pocket as real cards.

@Aether @DarkOverord I know the monetization angle on modern TCGs is all "chase the high value and synergy cards", but I want to use the commons and build the trashiest decks to play against each other or in a draft cube.
It's what I enjoy doing with MtG cards too, to no surprise.

@Aether @DarkOverord Part of the joy for me in this one was also going, "okay, I'm not going to spend any money on this other than a $5-10 minimum to ensure they don't wipe my account in 6mo. What can I do with the worst cards that I get during the first hit free period to completely slay the single player and in tourney events?"
I am... not their normal audience.
