The Mii species once once alive and thriving, but over the last several years we've seen their population diminish to the point of near-extinction. What killed the Nintendo Miis, and will they ever come back? Probably not, but we can hope.

My issue with their removal is that Microsoft not only created their own avatar system, but it still remains strong and available for everyone. Nintendo not wanting to hold onto the idea they created themselves is a waste of potential.

We could def use a switch remade tomodachi, or sequel, as well as one for miitopia, or maybe completely new games similar to sims, or rpgs that are specifically made for the miis.

I don't think anyone really mentions this, but I think the 3DS' Mii presence was almost as good as the Wii's and arguably better than the Wii-U's (which is ironic since the Wii U was branded after the system that introduced them). There's the already mentioned 3DS Mii Plaza and Streetpass, but the 3DS also had it's spin on Miiverse. As for all new presence, there was Pilotwings Resort, Smash Bros, Tomodachi Life, Dillon's Dead Heat Breakers (underrated game, by the way), and Miitopia. Even outside that, they had smaller roles in Mario Kart 7, Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, and Animal Crossing New Leaf.

My hopes were hooked on the Miitopia re-release. I feel as if they do a similar re-release with Tomodachi life could possibly re-spark things if it sells well. I have always had a soft spot for miis, as I remember making a ton of them when my Dad managed to get me a Wii in Christmas of 2008. My mii hasn't changed once over the years, and it's always nice to see her in the background of a few wii games I play, if I'm not outright using her. Miitopia is a REALLY good thing to laugh over while also being a great game, which also solidified my liking for them.

Fun fact. Miis first made their handheld debut in Tomodachi Collection, a game made for the original DS that never left Japan which is the predecessor to Tomodachi Life on the 3DS. Because Tomodachi Collection never got released globally an app made to transfer Miis from that game into Tomodachi Life also never got released outside of Japan and the text boxes asking the owner of Tomodachi Life if they have any Miis from Tomodachi Collection they need to transfer was removed which also included the game having the ability to send you to the eShop to download the app required for the Mii transfer. Still, it's sad to see the Miis being pushed into the background. Guess Nintendo doesn't really know what to do with them nowadays given the last prominent appearance they had was the Switch port of Miitopia.

I absolutely love the Miis. the wii series, and tomodachi life made up most of my childhood. I have fond memories of me and my sister staying up late at night playing wii party by using the freeplay minigames to make a sequential story. We've used our custom miis to make bands of families and friends in wii music to make songs. We even made miis to use as icons in the nonexistent note board that's shoved in the bottom right corner of the wii menu and write out notes for random thoughts or stories related to the characters?! For the 3ds, I had spent over 600 hours on tomodachi life when i was younger. I even played streetpass when me and my sister would make miis to pass by each others consoles so they would meet. I even used the AR Card games camera mode to take pictures of custom miis in situations. Ive written a LOT here, but that really goes to show how much I've used the Miis as a kid. I still use them today, for games like mario kart and smash ultimate! Any opportunity I get to use a Mii, I will take it.

I get miitopia as it was fantastic and needed to go on the switch, it just made sense. With switch sports it feels like they dropped the mii mask (to use a term from Animal Crossing: City Folk and Animal Crossing: New Leaf) into the game just because someone higher up said “I want my mii in the game” and it was too late and too close to launch to put miis in the game, model them and animate them. 12:23 don’t forget about wii party u!

"Miis on the Wii U were the most robust and expansive version yet" IIRC, they're identical to the 3DS Miis in terms of features and customization. The only plus side is that the Wii U allowed 3000 Miis, something I wish Tomodachi Life allowed too :P I speculate that Miitopia might also be a factor in why Miis have been vanishing. The game didn't sell amazing on 3DS (a mixture of being a late release and, to be a bit frank, a mediocre game), and from what I gather it didn't exactly top sales on the Switch when it was remade either. I think it's telling that a year after Nintendo gave them another chance on Switch we get those Sportsmates abominations. If that's the case then that's really unfortunate because a GOOD game featuring Miis, such as a Tomodachi Life sequel or an actual decent Miitopia sequel, might've had different results. As a huge Mii fan myself, it's pretty disappointing.

You have a great sense of humor, I snorted at 5:57 lol. You also connected the dots for as to why Nintendo removing the music and themes etc following the Switch's existence, and while I understand what they're going for, some part of me just feels a bit sad because that "Nintendo charm" is lost just to appeal to a modern market. Generations in the future just won't experience the same joy and nostalgia as we did for the 3DS/Wii era with the littlest things like Streetpass. That said, keep up the great work! I'm definitely on the lookout for your channel now.

Every time a new Nintendo Direct happens, I always see people asking for more Tomodachi life. When Miitopia was ported over to the switch, I heard it's praises sung for weeks on end. When Switch Sports was announced, my entire friend group let out a collective sigh of relief, thankful that Miis hadn't completely died out yet. People still love Miis. I still love Miis. I litterally cried when I found put Miitopia was getting ported to the switch. I cried! Real tears! Over Miis! I'm not saying that they wouldn't benefit from some new options, of course. I think Miitopia was a good start for making Miis more customizable, but there's also plenty of room to grow in that regard. What I am trying to say is that the Mii branding shouldn't die, not when it was so close to becoming an integral part of Nintendo's identity, much like Mario or Link.

I feel like the switch doesn't have the Nintendo magic that the Wii had. No cool menu designs, no music, no miis, it just kinda feels like it has no spirit. I'm never gonna forget when I got my wii in 2009. I was like 6 and me and my dad made a Mii of Abe Lincoln. Can't do that on Switch.

There's a secret but very prominent use of miis on the switch: Breath of the Wild. All the NPC faces are stored in a modified mii format. With the right software you can even export NPCs as miis and mod miis in as new NPCs.

I just want my Mii OCs to have a home. Feels like really only 3 places on the Switch where they look like they belong. Ultimate, Miitopia, and a super obscure port of a Wii game called Go Vacation (actually pretty good, IMO, I do screenshots of my characters there on the regular). ... Yes, I have Mii OCs. Yes, I even have a Pixiv featuring 10 of them, would you like to see it?

Not gonna mention Miitopia Switch's makeup feature? It turned a character creator into a straight-up art program. To see Miis be cast aside in switch sports after such a leap was made is just sad.

I feel like the Miis started to run out of steam after 2010 and people were moving on to more fun games like Skylanders and Angry Birds. Even if we had two great Mii games afterwards like Miitopia and Tomodachi Life, the popularity of the Miis was already... dead by then.

Kinda disappointed you didn't mention tomadachi life and miitopia? Those were huge for the miis and it's bizzare that you mentioned very obscure mii demos yet ignored two of biggest mii games, especially miitopia that got kinda acknowledged in the video, that game and the updated switch version sparked a lot of interest in miis again

I'm still grateful that I managed to somehow obtain 1558 Miis in my StreetPass plaza. Help a guy out in Chicago, I'm still missing pieces in my Puzzle Swap game ;-;

Funny how from all the things currently, Miis were included heavily in 2022... outside of the Switch. I'm speaking of course about Mario Kart Tour. Miis have there already own ecosystem and have a huge amount of returning from MK8 and original Mii Suits.

Nintendo's abandonment of the Miis is just bizarre. Especially since the Switch was still promoted as a social console. The DS-WiiU era Nintendo felt a bit naff at the time, but I miss it now.
