Miitomo, released by Nintendo in 2016, was a social networking app where users interacted via Mii characters by answering prompts. The meme culture surrounding it quickly evolved due to the app's text-to-speech feature and the ability to make Miis say virtually anything, often leading to screenshots of characters making existential, absurd, or bizarre statements. Despite the app's official shutdown in 2018, the aesthetic remains a staple for internet humor, symbolizing a specific era of 'wholesome yet cursed' Nintendo content used to express social awkwardness or random thoughts.
