Miis. Those quirky little avatars you made of you and your friends back on the Wii, that were such a large part of Nintendo’s identity. Yet, nowadays people feel like they’re disappearing, and it seems Nintendo's forgotten about them. Why are they being phased out?

    Fun fact: Breath Of The Wild's NPC are all built from Mii data.
  • @fredmoart
    The Mii’s slow disappearance in games won’t stop me from making MORE MIIS!!!!
  • @SquirrelMario
    I don’t trust people who use the sportsmates instead of Miis.
  • @alex_demote
    The kind of japanese doll you referred to being an inspiration of putting miis in a wiimote is called a kokeshi doll and I dont know why i know that
  • @radio_marco
    I think at this point, the Miis are so iconic, they can't scrap them entirely. It's literally impossible.
  • I think Mii won’t have much of a appearance in the remaining switch games. They are probably waiting for the next console to retool Miis, adding clothing and rebrand them for Nintendos’ needs.

    What I liked about matt is theres hidden lore in the training rooms You can see old pictures of him at his peak with trophys and such and now hes retired to train the next generation
  • @SogehtMathe
    I think the Miis won't die. They will just appear less. There is an easteregg in the Mario Bros Movie with a Mii, Nintendo still knows about them. But I doubt they will get one more game on their own anymore.
  • @fuecOHKO
    I love the idea of social miidea
  • @James2210
    Breath of the Wild used Miis as a basis for designing its NPCs so I suppose they were there in spirit
  • @evanrosman9226
    I hope the next Nintendo Console has games that seriously uses Miis.
  • @rybread9574
    miitomo was incredible and it’s genuinely a shame it’s gone. i feel very lucky to have experienced it for the short time it was around. the closest thing i can compare it to was that summer in 2016 when everyone was playing pokemon go. every nintendo mobile game since has been alright, but they can only capture a fraction of miitomo’s magic
  • @PixelPikmin
    I remember getting my 3DS for the first time and making Miis of all my family and friends. I love the Miis and I hope they see a comeback on the next Nintendo console
  • Crazy how I just found this video in the wild and mouth went agape when I saw my video footage covering the Mii Makers!! Glad you enjoyed that video of mine and this is a very excellent video!!

    TOMODACHI LIFE 2 ON THE SWITCH WILL HAPPEN SOMEDAY, I BELIEVE!
  • @h.a6859
    In the 2000's my older cousin had a Wii and a disks case filled with big Wii titles, but when i used to come to her house i always had her turning on the Wii for me to make Miis of our family members and putting them next to each other while listening to the Mii lobby music, i miss those days
  • @jacosisaba
    Tomodachi Life will always be the greatest use of Miis ever made. That is pure gold.
  • @SquirrelMario
    I think Miis will 100% be on the next console. Probably even in an even lesser form than on the Switch, but they’ll be there. My main reason for thinking this is backwards compatibility. I’m positive Switch 2 will be backwards compatible, and since some games use Miis, the next console needs them.
  • @Ron1n_Sim
    Nintendo making Mii's lesser known on the switch feels like neglecting a newborn baby
  • @EmmaEmbla
    When I initially saw the Miis I was quite disappointed thinking they were too limited, but spend anytime with the Mii maker you will quickly find out that they have so much character and the options that are there are perfect for capturing most peoples appearances in a Mii form.
