Check Mii Out

edited November 2007 in Games and Technology
Nintendo to launch a new Wii Channel?
Launching in 2007, this free new channel builds on the huge phenomenon of Wii owners creating fun caricatures of themselves, their friends and celebrities. The two main components of the free channel include an area where users can post Miis they have created to let others vote on their artistic abilities, and a competition element that lets users test their skills to create the most accurate likeness of individuals or other themes suggested by Nintendo. The Check Mii Out Channel joins the lineup of cool channels on the Wii Menu, which includes the Internet Channel, the Everybody Votes Channel and the Forecast Channel, among others.

It's available now!

Will you be checking out other people's Mii once it's available? Have any Mii's worth sharing? I think downloading Mii (what is the plural? Miis?) on this channel will be better than trying to make custom Mii via web tutorials. That alone will make it worthwhile. Plus, voting on Miis? Will you give it a try?

Post your favorite Miis in this tread, etc.
Joystiq impressions and video of the channel in action.

    Looks like Peach Mii may get some use other than being Luigi Mii's Sex Slave.

    Hmm, this would be a great opportunity for them to add more goodies to the Mii creator itself. At the very least, it'd be nice to have more hair colours/styles/hats.

    Nintendo supports consumers' creative spirit with the Nov. 11 evening launch of the Check Mii Out Channel.

    So I guess we'll have to wait awhile.

    I'd have to agree here. For a few of my family and friends (including myself) the tools allowed pretty close Mii versions of ourselves. But for others spending over an hour did no good, and it just looked sorta similar. Would be nice if there was more customization.

    definitely true. I tried to make House and had to give up,m but when I made Dr. Foreman I had no problem. I also was able to make Hunter S. Thompson and Kevin Smith with no trouble, but a friend of mine just simply doesn't exist in the Mii universe.

    Yeah, mine was done in seconds, but some of my friends (including nearly all of my female friends) just don't work as Miis. There aren't enough hair variants, and none that have streaks or anything other than flat colour.

    Where I live it's already November 12th. Are launches simultaneous worldwide, or is this an American channel only sort of launch?

    Was the "Everybody Votes" channel released in the same way? Did they announce a date and actually make the deadline, or could this be a "ballpark" sort of release date?

    I uploaded myself, Kim Jong Il, and Michael Jackson.

    You can only enter initials for the name, and I've didn't notice any Hitlers going through the parade. There were only 2 top artisans so Miis might have to go through a process to get rid of the 'offensive' ones.

    Dear Nintendo,

    Due to your flawed game system I can't use the Check Mii Out channel with any of the Miis I've created. Why? Because my replacement system (I'm on #3 now) doesn't recognize any of the Miis transfered over from my old systems. That means out of the nearly 100 Miis I've created, none are eligible for the new channel. Thanks a whole fucking lot, Nintendo. Way to kill my interest in Miis. I'm going to delete this dumb fuck channel now.

    Love, Ridley

    I've downloaded 35 Miis in the past hour. Some of them are pure GENIUS! I can't believe people are this creative with the tools they were given. This is such an awesome time waster.

    Highlights:
    Miss Piggy
    A Bear monster thing
    Jason Vorhese
    A butterfly face thing
    Several Aliens
    Lots of "V" for Vendetta characters
    Charlie Brown
    Metroid Face
    The entire cast of Family Guy
    Geordi from Star Trek

    I can't wait till these guys start showing up in my Wii Sports games. Satan vs. ANT FACE BOXING! GO!

    Go to the "Grab Bag" and search through to find random cool thigns. There are so many awesome Miis already available. Alsa, poor Jong Il will never be downloaded by anyone. There are simply too many other cool Miis out there.

    There are some pretty crappy Hitler's and Michael Jacksons.... I'm a little angry that a couple of those Michael Jacksons are in the top fifty, while mine is just lost in the ocean of MJs with a Singing ability. (The artisans name is Ethan in case you want to look for it).

    The only stand out good ones I've seen are the Chuck Norris, Ms Piggy, Zelda, Mario, and Robocop. And most of these have examples of how to create them on the internet so there's really no telling how many of these people are the 'original' artisans.
