Miitomo interview between Itoi and Sakamoto - Part 1: Avatar (Mii) Editor

GN Version 5.0

A portion of an interview with Miitomo producer Yoshio Sakamoto, conducted by Earthbound creator, Shigesato Itoi...

SI: Yeah, I do see the flow from "Tomodachi Collection" to "Miitomo." Were you also in the team that created Mii?

YS: To describe this in order, at the time I was creating a game called "Tottoko Hamutaro: Tomodachi Daisakusen Dechu" (Hamtaro: The Great Friendship Plan). In that game you could talk to Hamtaro, and by registering you and your friends' birthdays, you could figure out your match with other people and Hamutaro would tell you when it was someone's birthday. It was a game that provided opportunities for communication through fortune telling.
