Miitomo will be developed in partnership with DeNA, a Japan-based game developer that publishes a range of other free-to-play mobile games, including the popular Star Wars: Galactic Defense. The game will be the first of five releases between now and March 2017 made with DeNA. The game will be available for both iOS and Android mobile devices.

Though the game was expected to be released before the end of 2015, Nintendo today announced that Miitomo was scheduled for March 2016 global release.
