30 features we’d like to see added to Nintendo’s Wii Mii Creator
Well, my Wii finally arrived on Saturday morning, so it’s been a happy weekend, and I can now barely type with my right arm. Because taking sensible breaks from Wii Sports Tennis is Just Too Annoying.
But anyway, having dived headlong into the Mii Creator on Nintendo’s console, here’s my 30 suggestions for extra bits to improve it.
1. More hats. Like a top hat, a jester hat, one of those big Russian ones with the furry ears…
2. Proper warts. The mole option isn’t enough. At least, not enough for my Lemmy Mii.
3. Boobs. Because the Wii world needs Dolly, Jordan and Anna-Nicole in their FULL glory.
4. Man-boobs. Because you can’t be sexist about these things. And lots of men do have man-boobs nowadays.
5. Bling. Pimp coats. Diamond earrings. Those gold teeth that rappers have. It’s a no-brainer.
6. Silly walks. Imagine if Miis could flounce, limp and disco-walk their way through games…
7. Peg-legs. Mainly for pirates, and Heather Mills.
8. Parrots. Mainly for pirates. I don’t think Heather owns a parrot.
9. Nostril and ear hairs. Because you’ll get them one day, mark my words. Not you, ladies. Well, not most of you.
10. Lederhosen. Nintendo have sold a few Wiis in Germany, y’know.
11. Football kits. If you could design your own, that’d be ideal. Especially as it’s the only way I’ll get a Bishops Stortford one.
12. Tattoos. From the discreet to the full-body look.
13. Piercings. See above.
14. Longer beards. My Grateful Dead Miis just aren’t cutting it at the moment.
15. Proper wrinkles. Think Keith Richards.
16. A choice of footwear. wellies, walking boots, those trainers with rollerskate wheels in the heel…
17. Mobile phones. Imagine if your Mii could walk around with a RAZR or LG Chocolate. Especially if they could then receive texts from other Miis.
18. Hoodies. It’d certainly make your Miis look more sinister when hanging around in the Mii Parade.
19. Cigarettes. Yeah, I know this one isn’t going to happen. Smoking Is Bad, Kids.
20. Cider. Okay, maybe not this one either. Although with Magners’ marketing might, don’t bet against it.
21. Animal faces. Why can’t I play Wii Sports Tennis with a big furry cat character if I want to?
22. Skateboards. Gnarly ones, obviously.
23. Slogan t-shirts. FRANKII SAYS WIILAX would be a good start. ZELDA SUCKS for controversy-seekers.
24. Drainpipe trousers. Really thin-legged ones. No indie celebrity in the UK would be accurate without it.
25. Scars. Proper big scary ones.
26. Alien options. Three eyes? Marvellous.
27. Muscles. Rather than just making fatty or thinny Miis, you could choose how ripped their torsos are. Or not.
28. Strategically-placed cucumbers. I’ve been trying to create all manner of 80s cock-rock bands, and there’s something missing…
29. Bigger poodle perms. Sorry, they’re missing too.
30. iPods. Complete with tell-tale white earphone lead.

[...] Stu from Wii Wii has written up 30 features that Mii’s need but somehow failed to include the obvious one, ears. Just the other day I was wondering, hoping actually, if Nintendo would ever update the Mii channel and expand the range of featrues available for creating our beloved Mii. [...]

I don’t know if this is intentionally supposed to be ludicrous, but this is the stupidest list of suggestions I have ever seen. Peg legs?
Brother… be for real.

[...] The WiiWii.tv team come up with another doozie, this time the top 30 things that should be incorporated into the Mii creator on Nintendo’s Wii console. These include boobs (Because the Wii world needs Dolly, Jordan and Anna-Nicole in their FULL glory); peg legs (Mainly for pirates, and Heather Mills); and slogan tshirts (FRANKII SAYS WIILAX etc)read more | digg story [...]

How about a greater selection of colours? I would like to have red hair…

Looks like you you need to add ears to your list. Oh, just noticed the previous commenter also suggested the same!

I’d like to see custom texture mapping. Simply crop one of those photos you load via SD card, and map your face on to your mii. Maybe even have the photo drawing tool combined, so that you can actually map the texture, then erase/draw on the actual mii!

actually…. (sorry about the “actual”’s … It’s late).

What about Intro tunes? Like G.O.B.’s “final count down” from arrested development.
December 12th, 2006 at 11:30 am
hmm I would like one of those Frankie t-shirts

I think you underestimate what can be done with the limited toolset! Check out http://miiplaza.net for examples.
Furthermore, rumors are saying Animal Crossing will add features to the Mii Channel as you unlock them in the game… hopefully this is true, because hats and bling would be pretty funny.

[...] Key complaints include the sluggishness of using the Wii Shop, the way each Virtual Console purchase takes up its own channel on your home screen, the restrictive email system, and the basic Mii editing (this is where I feel a bit smug about my ‘30 Things We’d Like to see Added to Nintendo’s Mii Creator’ post).

maybe a little more curve on the body or
> coats/ long jackets?
> pollo
> A bit more variations
I want to blend some of the colors, yea
maybe just a little more shaping of certain facial features when I really want to get the face right.
Hey there’s a smiley face at the bottom left corner of the page.
