Update doesn't seem to be up on iTunes yet.
You won't have to start over, when the English version releases, you can then link your English My Nintendo account and switch your region so that it isn't Japan

Oh wow, they even put it in the changelog on Google Play. Most big developers are too lazy to do that.
Including Google. :|

Should I download this now and just switch my region to U.S once the other territories release?
I don't want to start over? If yes? How do I download the Japanese one on my iPhone?

Looking at the FAQs, you can't really change the account your Mii is linked to, so I'm not linking to any account for now.
But there does look like an option to change country - so I'm playing it, will change country to UK later and link that account.

I thought I already had a Twitter account but I guess not. Or it got deleted at some point.
Anyway, I have a new account @Aloysius_Minch pretty much just for Miitomo when it launches in NA.

You can edit your Mii at any point so I presume that covers that - not come across any wigs. Unless they do some as hats for whatever reason later I guess?

Does anyone know when this'll be out in Europe?

It's so "Nintendo" to release this in one territory and then leave the rest to wonder. It's like they don't know that people have the internet and can find out what's happening elsewhere.
End of the month here

Eh, this happens with loads of smartphone apps, to be fair. We know it's coming in March, and it's still March. I would say there's no problem yet.

The reality is: I'm mostly just pissy that I can't try it right now haha

Yeah, they should release a completely new game on two completely new platforms with completely new backend-infrastructure globally at the same time, so that you have the highest chance of a server-meltdown. Then when your first impression goes down in flames you can at least say that you disappointed the whole world equally.
Is launching an app really that hard for one of the biggest videogame companies on the planet?
Wait, are you sure about that ?
Then what's the downside of downloading it right now through the japanese Itunes store ?

Launching is easy, making sure everything goes smoothly is not.
We are talking about an app-maker who published their very first app and went to the No. 1 spot within 24 hours, while being super-heavily promoted on the front of the app-store. It's impossible to access the app-store and not see Miitomo as of right now. And right now marks the evening before a 3-day weekend.
I launched the app earlier and there was already a message from Nintendo about potential server-troubles (although I didn't notice anything strange).
Really? OK, how do I get this onto my EU iPhone?
There is a 'Body Suit Hat' - consider it to be a custom-coloured swim cap
There is also a 'Bunny Hood/Wig' Basically, think of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu with bunny eyes; thats a full wig which changes your hair completely.

Can you change your home Tomodachi style?
Is there a limit of the number of friends you can add?
Which will take longer, figuring it out or this games official English release?

Where is the OP?! Help us Goli, before we all go mad from seeking answers.

I'm quite enjoying this thus far, and am quite looking forward to having actual friends on it. I think this got legs and could be a pretty decent success for them.

It's bothering the crap out of me that we don't know. Though I'm sure it's more appropriate than my suggestion:
Miitomo |OT| Playing with myself in public
The only downside is that you can't immediately link your my Nintendo account until the official English version is released. If your download the Japanese version, you will be forced to set your region as Japan. However, once the English version is released, you can then change your region, which will then allow you to link your English My Nintendo account
You must make a Japanese iTunes account. Then log into that account on the AppStore and it will switch you to the Japanese store where you can download it
Unfortunately, you can not change your home. Perhaps they will add that in a future update?
What about the points you earn? They'll carry over when you change region and link your account?

Relax, muffin. I won't be mean to Nintendo again.

You aren't earning points unless you are linked to a Nintendo Account. So you won't get points for daily tasks until the app is officially out here. The big bonuses for things like linking to Facebook and Twitter will trigger after you link, though.
Yeah, I'm sure it'll eventually come, also visiting friends.
Softlaunches are actually very common to smartphone games. You use one region to gather feedback and bug reports, so you can have a smooth global rollout a bit later.
Also, if Apple approached Nintendo to present Miitomo on stage of their event and launch it immediately afterwards (however likely that might be), then that would make for fantastic PR for Nintendo.
What is the correct way to rotate the mii in miifoto, I just can't do it when there is only one mii and can do it when there is 2 or more, but not consistently, is there a trick or special area I have to touch to rotate them? I can make them big or small, upside down, and drag them with no problems, it's just the rotation I can't figure out
Robin64

It's a bit fiddly, but it seems if you move your finger while it's on the Mii, you move the Mii, but if you move your finger when it's not on the Mii then you rotate it instead.
