Wii Sports and Warioware are the only games I've played that use the Mii feature. Are there others? Why so few?

there are very few games that have mii's, and i agree and want to see more games using them. the only ones i know that will use the mii's are wii fit and fifa.

Because they are ugly. It was a half-baked concept that was a poor implementation of Sims (tm). You can only modify the face height and width. It should have been the Virtual Persona for the Wii and Wii online (does that exist?). Other than making it a save game slot for Brain Age, Sports, Everybody votes channel, and the like they have no value what-so-ever... and again ugly. That's why.

Pretty much. That last thing I'd want is developers building the art style for their games around the silly Mii concept. I'm sure they are a fun timesink for some people, but they're too limited and ugly to hamstring many games with.

Not true. They don't need to use the mii's themselves.
They can use the selected features to create a character in the games' styl3 that resembles Your mii.
Like having an Orc look like Your dad-mii, a michael jackson-mii faerie or a You-mii puppy.

Strikers used miis for online display. n mp3, they had a bonus feature that let you put up a mii bobble head in your space ship. miis are mostly use for files, like it holds your rep for strikers wifi,it holds all of your vote history in everybody votes.

A Mii has very little detail compared to the average 3D videogame figure. I just assume the average developer can't think of way to include Miis in their game without it looking weird.

They shouldn't need to force them in. If they want to invlude them, the option is always there.

Yeah, like what another user said, they're too simple. I mean, it's fun for "Wii" games like Wii Sports and Wii Fit, and Wii Play, but everything else, it doesn't really apply. I would like to see more of the Mii's though I guess.....though know they have MySims, which is like almost a better looking version of Miis. :P.

Now i see the resemblance between You and Your avatar Bass7.
And thanks property2r145, heart You.
Bass7, You're both sticking out Your tongues constantly.

I think mii's offer quite a few customisation options.. enough to shape a similar more complex 3d character. But maybe it's a stupid idea. They could always add more options.. like with the hat.
