Alisha: Shenanigans, says I, because I know there are plenty of people out there who appreciate the fun of frequent hair dyeing. Where's the love for us, Nintendo? The Mii hair colors are so bland, so normal, so ... natural. I had to change it up and add my current haircolor. I'm going to be sad when I have to settle for plain ol' brown on my real Mii. Otherwise, though, these are great! For such a simple creation process, you can really get a lot of detail ... and shifting an eyebrow or a hairline can change the whole look. It's a pretty good likeness.

At first, I thought the plain look of the bodies would bother me a little, but I've decided I like the stylized aspect of the Miis. Puts the focus on the personalization you can have -- the little touches that make each one unique.



Dave: Yes, I have a big old fat head and thanks Nintendo for allowing me to represent it, in all its huge glory, on my Nintendo Wii. As for shirt color, I didn't think about it and now my Mii ended up looking like some fat-headed Ensign about to get a Klingon dropkick to the chest. At least let me make my Mii's body fat!

Other than that, my hair is pretty spot-on (messy and dangerously allergic to a trimming) and my nose is appropriate enough. The eyes look close enough and my face is often affixed with a dumb smile like the one represented here. Lookin' good Dave, lookin' good.

Nikki:

Jason: Thank you, Nintendo, for allowing me to recreate my beautiful self in your hardware. That devilishly handsome grin. Those piercing eyes. That immaculate hairstyle. And yes, I'm actually this good looking. What Nintendo is allowing here is a way to represent oneself in an online space with some measure of uniformity. This has been done before, of course, but on a console, it's something new. I had no trouble creating an avatar that generally looked like me, though I thought the head selection was a bit limited (despite the caricature vibe, I'd like some smaller options as well). Luckily for teens everywhere, the Mii creator does not allow for acne.
