What's the Point? (Mii Related)

Miis. We all know 'em, we all (kinda) love 'em (or at least making them), but whats the point? I was promised that they would be featured in GAMES, yet the instances in which we can use them is slim to none. Third parties are being forced to make their own version of "Mii"-looking characters, but are clearly not Miis, and they can not be taken from your Wii to be put into the game. So the question is, why doesnt nintendo allow for third parties to use Miis? or why doesnt nintendo find more unique ways to implement them other than the multitude of fitness games they release?

I thought it was a cool feature.

I love playing as Link in Wii Sports / Wii Sports Resort.

third parties CAN use miis *points at guitar hero*. they just dont because they're too lazy and would rather put the same system for all consoles.

and miis are supposed to be "you in the game", so whenever such thing makes sense, they add them.

PS: BTW, in case you dont know, you can put up to 10 miis on one wiimote to transfer them to your friends' wiis.

It was said that Miyamoto wouldn't let 3rd parties use Miis unless they were quality games.

I honestly think the Miis are a missed opportunity. Maybe next console they'll make them good. Unlockable Mii parts (clothing, hair styles, etc) would be a great thing for Nintendo to add in to their games. Even third parties could do it. Like take No More Heroes, for example. You could unlock the different tee shirts for your Miis (the game just copies the appropriate file to the Wii). Then they need to DO something with the Miis. Games that use them like WiiSports are good, but I think something where you can run around online with other people's Miis and do stuff would be fun. Heck, they could even let your Mii have a pet to follow you around that can be unlocked with certain games (Mario gives goomba/koopa pets, Metroid gives a pet Metroid, Pokemon has a bazillion to choose from, etc.) Of course, it's too late for the Wii to get something like this, as it needs to be designed into the system itself. I just think it's a cool idea. Hopefully our next system will have something like this.Michael-Smith

If there were a FPS where there was a multiplayer deathmatch and you could use miis i'd totally buy it

Miis are a pretty cool concept that didn't work as expected.

:shock:Just imagine, the more Mii's you have, the more damage.

I like the Mii's, just wish more games can use them.

and your side b would allow u to throw ur arm at people. :D

The one way I'd like to see mii's incorporated in to 3rd party games is by using your mii for character creation. Think about it, miis are really just coordinate data. (Eyes #2, 1 size larger, 2 down, color green), (Mouth #1, 2 sizes smaller, 1 down)...and so on.

Now, lets say you have a third party anime styled RPG, or a third party sports game, or a third party sandbox game. When you create your character, you just choose a mii. Then the game takes that coordinate data and replaces it with it's own eyes, mouth, hair and so forth that are designed to look like the mii's eyes/mouth/hair just in the third party's game's style.

Imagine playing guitar hero and with one click, you can make a character that looks like you by choosing your mii.

Maybe there could be a wiiware game that plays sorta like pokemon, but instead of catching pokemon you catch miis? It would use people's miis from any wii logged on to the game to populate the world or just use your mii parade.

Madden '09 uses the Mii's, so your assertion that 3rd parties cannot use them is utterly false.

Maybe Miis could be used in Animal Crossing/Pokemon? I mean, those characters are generic enough. I think it would work.

I would love a pet metroid for my Mii. They're so cute.

"who's my metroid? who's my metroid?"

:::tickles fang:::

"coochy coochy coo"

I guess I have to say it again. The Clothes and Trinkets are useless. I wouldn't put them in because they are useless and worthless. All you do with it is collect more of it. After that it has no use.

I guess your right, but it would still be pretty cool lol

none, same as achivments

it seems that MS & sony ran with nintys miis. "home" w/ miis would be sweet, as would clothing & other continuing updates as w/ ps3 & 360 avatars. in the meantime the miis have.......................... .............................. .............................. .......squat! VERY disappointing.twztid13

Miis are used for games. The have there own games. They make appearances in other games. They have better thing to do then become pack rats.

Mii's should be in Brawl. Final smash:Mii parade,calls Mii's from your Wii(friends Mii's that Mingle also) and beats the **** outa the enemies.

Zelda Mii. You can have your Mii be link (optional).

NSMBWii,instead of a toad its your Mii

Mario Kart,done

A star wars game,your Mii is a jedi/sith

Seriously Nintendo,come on,think with your head not your wallet.

I would have liked it if they were in Brawl and a few more games.

Why bother with all of that useless crap?

Then why bother having Miis at all? ..as it is its useless anyway

EA should make a Wii exclusive Sims but you use your Mii. If you kill them you have a choice to send them to the ER to save them or remove them from your system as death. That would be cool.
