I'll keep trucking away everyday so I can stack the Platinum Coins.
I'm enjoying it a lot still though.
Pretty curious about just how many questions there are, kinda wanna answer them all.

Sorry if this was already answered, but a quick question- if I copy my Mii in from my NNID (or 3DS), can I modify it further or would I have to make it from scratch to do that? I was already planning on modifying mine soon anyway (I may have finally noticed that my Mii's hair parts on the opposite side...), but I'll be away from my Wii U for a good while.

There's 4 weekly mission, sign in to Nintendo homepage, My Nintendo, e-shop and Miiverse. Also we really need a separate MyNintendo thread.

I didn't root my device, though.
But I can't deny the possibility that it might be rooted since I bought it used.
Guess I need to look for a manual to unroot my smartphone.
EDIT:
I made sure my phone is not rooted anymore but I still can't play it. That makes me sad
it's in the store menu

How do you get the Nintendo homepage one? I've gotten the ones from My Nintendo, e-Shop, and Miiverse, but I don't think I've gotten anything from the homepage.
next to the containers that hold all the coins with the radio, there was a platinum coin just sitting outside of them in the center, i just clicked it and got mine.

I have no idea, it just poped out by itself.
That's the weekly My Nintendo login coin, not Nintendo homepage login coin IIRC.

Heh this is interesting.
So I started up and my Mii wasn't in his room.
A visitor came but I still didn't return, although that 'Call back' option appeared.
The visiting Mii just waits there for you to come back.
It's pretty cool that your Mii's visits to others work in realtime.
Also, I didn't think to check before but this has iPhone 3D Touch shortcuts
Nintendo have really embraced this whole mobile thing.
That's me!
Yep. I did this a couple weeks back using this guide and it worked just fine. You just have to log in and out of each region for app updates, is the only "hassle."
Thanks. Got all four now. Forgot about the Nintendo Account one. Here they are in English:
Completed: Sign in to your Nintendo Account on the official Nintendo website (weekly)
Completed: Collect the My Nintendo sign-in bonus (weekly)
Completed: Sign in to Nintendo eShop (weekly)
Completed: Sign in to Miiverse (weekly)
I was able to get another one worth 10 pts via the My Nintendo Page. Saw my Mii carrying a gift box and had to click it.
Completed: Discover a secret mission

Fixed!
Yep, bjorks link is even the exact guide I used.
One thing, if you have Apple Music you need to sign out of your account and then restart your Mac.
Not restarting will keep giving you an error right before account verification of your new Japanese account.
I guess it's related to Apple Music as you're not allowed to switch stores if you subscribe and have to cancel your membership if you want to switch regions. Weird.

Okay I expect at some point a NeoGAF topic all about finding My Nintendo secret missions. Lots of potential for Nintendo right here. I really love the idea.
You can still play the game normally while on your usual account, though?

You need Android 4.1 or later. Miitomo won't work on rooted devices (which can actually be bypassed easily), Android emulators (Nox, Bluestacks, Andy, DuOS), and you can forget custom ROMs (which annoys me a lot because my tablet isn't Android-based and I would gladly remove root if they wanted).
Slight chances it might be featured in the Apple conference today.
I hope so. Apple's event is today so it would be cool if they featured it. I'm not sure why it came out in Japan first anyways, but maybe there are some hangups on the NA MyNintendo release.
Also can you change your Miis nickname? Or import a Mii from your 3DS/Wii U?
So how do I get onto this miitomo twitter list?
Mine is @thesoundoftokyo
Yep. Once you're installed, it doesn't seem to matter which app store region you're tied into.

If you follow people on the list many of them will follow back. Once you've done that you can reload twitter in Miitomo and add the other person as friend.
I followed you already. (https://twitter.com/Dystify)
I used an even simpler method of getting a Japanese iTunes account. I did everything on my iPhone. Just sign out of iCloud, make a new account, access the App Store, choose Japan and filled in the information (just get a Japanese address from google). You can just brute force your way through the billing information screen. Just pick "None" from payment options and proceed. If it won't let you, keep trying and after 3 tries or so it just let me move on lol. I was then able to download Miitomo. Now sign out of iCloud again and back in with your normal iCloud account, and do the same for the App Store account (all accessed from Settings app). Done. Took 5 minutes maybe.
How are you all accessing the My Nintendo page btw? I thought that site was region locked by ip or something because everytime I go to https://my.nintendo.com/ it just shows me a blank page with the text "My Nintendo will be launching soon!" - even if I open a private window.
edit: Added you to the list Bjork!

Has anybody figured/sniffed out the URLs to get the new high resolution Mii avatars?

If you've logged in to a Japanese account at accounts.nintendo.com, then the My Nintendo page displays for that account.
Hey, that worked. Thanks!

Are these blue/silver Miitomo coins the same ones we use in-app to buy outfits?
They're obviously a different colour, but otherwise I can't figure out what they're for...
LuigiBlood

There's Platinum Points for My Nintendo, there are regular Platinum Points & Platinum Miitomo Points (which are apparently the same thing anyway). There's also Gold Points for My Nintendo which you can only get by buying stuff with real money.
And then there's the in-app Miitomo coins, which has NOTHING to do with My Nintendo, it's just coins that can only be used inside Miitomo.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, Platinum Points can only be used for rewards (like the Mario costume or the game tickets for Miitomo, or other stuff like that Twilight Princess Picross).

This is were it's confusing, having two separate amounts of the 'same' coin.
Do Platinum coins earned directly in Miitomo, by changing your outfit etc, go into the Miitomo Platinum amount whereas other Platinum coins earned outside of Miitomo, like those earned for logging into Miiverse, go into the 'general' Platinum amount...?
If so then do the two amounts combine?
Or would you need to get 1,000 of one separate type of Platinum coin to be able to get Zelda Picross?
Obviously all of this would be answered by me just being patient for once and waiting for Account to launch for us all... but I've never been patient, ever. Can't start now!

All Platinum coins, regardless of source, are added together. You can get 500 from Miitomo and 500 from "other" and use those to get the 1000 for TwiPricross.
It's easier to consider Platinum coins as having the center show you their source, not their use. So if Mario Kart 9 gave Platinum coins, it would stand to reason that they will have a Mario Kart logo in the center.

You can click your icon on the top right of MyNintendo homepage, you'll see they're combined.

it works on DuOS, but not other emus

Cheers guys, all makes sense now
I'm not sure launching an app that seemingly has 4 separate type of coin currencies was the smartest thing, but I'm sure it'll be logical for all in practice.

It didn't work for me with DuOS Jellybean. I wanna try DuOS Lollipop but it doesn't want to boot at all.

I can't see it myself. Apple usually show software that is a reason to buy their new stuff, and Miitomo isn't that.

It's a way to promote your app considering it's a big first for Nintendo but I wouldn't bet on it.

It's on Android as well, the two versions of the game are virtually identical feature-set wise, it does little unique with Apple's hardware or software design (doesn't support things like 3D Touch, doesn't even have swipe to go back) so the odds of it appearing in the conference are very slim.

Re: us discussing My Nintendo rewards and coin bonuses more than the app itself a few days after launch.
Not that I want to make that generalization, but I feel similar myself -- feels like I've answered most the low hanging fruit, and it's the compulsion loop they've built into the app (My Nintendo daily rewards, coin bonuses etc) that might be keeping us coming back more regularly than we would be if it didn't exist.
Food for thought there - hopefully when the app has wider availability it'll be a better reflection of what it's like to use it for what it is minus the somewhat cynical reward bonuses.

Maybe they'll also announce an Apple Watch exclusive companion app to make it worth it...?
It'll just be your Mii's face and whenever you press it it'll fire questions at you.
