Though not very widespread in the West, instant messaging service LINE is extremely popular in Japan. Nintendo has now opened up an official LINE account (@Nintendo) which you can use to “chat” with Toad. Naturally you shouldn’t expect actual responses to your questions – the account seems to use randomly generated phrases to reply.

Still, it might be interesting to see how Nintendo use this to possibly promote their upcoming mobile games.
