This game and its 'prequel' Tomodachi Life were made for taking and sharing screenshots. On the 3DS version of those two games they had a dedicated screenshot button. As such I made all the party members my friends (the same cast of characters I had from Tomodachi Life) and played it more for the mii interactions than anything else (side note: In Tomodachi Life your mii's could have a child that you could send off to visit other players games via streetpass, so I made the Dark Lord one of those kids and in my head cannon she was upset that her parents, who were in my party, shipped her off shortly after she was born).

@@aimanleondore From what I know playing the game on 3DS and the Nintendo Switch, Miitopia has “fixed” encounters where you’ll always fight a group of enemies at a certain part of a stage. For example, if you explored a stage with two battles and revisit the stage again, you’ll still have two battles in the same places. Sometimes the enemies you fight may change... but it was very, very rare in my case.

It is a hard game to recommend, but I loved it for the 3ds and I am loving it even more on the Switch. I enjoy creating mii's and sorta love the on rails feel.

The game can be challenging when I did not grind my Miis experience level higher than level 9 to face mini bosses like 2x Griffin at Arid Desert stage even with a full party of four.

The real fun of this game is to make the party characters people you actually know and care about. It is much more appealing that way. Because they’re so generic in game that you won’t get attached to, say, Geno. Because you don’t have an existing relationship with them, and the game isn’t going to do anything to make you attached to them. You need to bring that attachment to the game in my opinion, and it makes it way more appealing if it’s there to help the game along.

[@Superluigi881]

It's kind of silly but in the 3DS version I made myself the main character and my first other party member was my brother. And your first party member is the last one you rescue. So it legitimately felt like an emotional moment to finally get him back. It also meant he was under levelled so I had to make an effort to get him caught up again.

Miis mean a lo to me, they were my childhood in a way, and Miitopia's my favourite game of all time. I've got over 300 hours in the 3DS version, 5 playthroughs, and I can't get enough of it. The Switch version, though I haven' gotten very far, it's better then the 3DS version and that means I already am in love with it. I love this game so, so much. And this is coming from a guy who loves more tactical games. The gameplay's good enough for me (The Safe Spot single handedly makes it a great battle system in my opinion.) Also, this game is absolutely glory for headcanons. I don't even really like Headcanons but I've got full backstories for all of my party.

[@ZoinksScoob2006]

You’re review wasn’t even that bad actually, there were indeed a lot of fun parts and a lot of tedious parts too, for example: playing a level multiple times to get a gold flag, everyone starting from 0 friendship when you have a 10 team squad.

I thought the Miitopia review was super funky! It gave me a fair bit to think about, and while Miitopia is my absolute favourite game of all time, it’s not a 10/10 and I totally get it! The graphics are beautiful and gorgeous, especially comparing the graphics from the 3DS to the switch. I agree that the horse doesn’t feel like a massive addition to the game, but I did think they were a lovely and interesting addition regardless. I played the 3DS version over and over when I had it, and I really think the customisation added a lot of value to this version of the game for me! (As someone who has a specific look for all of my characters, who are OCs, having more detail and features to them that I couldn’t before was fantastic!) I think my favourite aspect of Miitopia is the fact that it totally let me build my own perfect story with my own characters, lore, details and additions! I love the story I’ve crafted when spring-boarding from the normal bare-bones story. I really made the game my own, as anyone can when they play it!

[@burnum]

It's random with the horse attacks. For the standard horse attack, it's either one enemy attack or multiple enemy attack. So, that statement is wrong. The interactions between the characters make the game better, not just the fact that they're Miis.

[@Superluigi881]

The issue for me is as someone who's played through the original and put a good amount of hours into it, the idea of playing it all over again with very little changed is a double edged sword. On the one hand I can build a new team which will make it feel different enough. And there are so many exchanges between characters I know I haven't seen them all. On the other hand it costs more than the 3DS version (Plus the cost of the worst online subscription service of all time) and has probably fixed none of the issues. (Not being able to control anyone when your main character isn't in the party just sucks and once I'd decided on my main four after getting everyone back together there wasn't that much incentive to ever change switch from them again.)

"Does it fill a gap in the Switch market"? Yes. It fills in the gap of all the people that enjoyed the Wii and Wii U because of the simple games involving people they recognized. Why Nintendo got rid of deep Mii support with the Switch is beyond me. The Wii proved that, with familiar controls, even the elderly will enjoy video games, and when you can put them into the game it becomes more fun. Disappointed there aren't more Mii centric titles like all the mini-games on the 3DS. Of course, I'm just speaking from my own experience. Maybe there are more games out there than I know, but I bought a Switch and was immediately disappointed with the lack of Mii stuff in it.
