The Nintendo Wii Mii

What is the Nintendo Wii Mii? You have surely noticed all the little icons that can be found in every Wii game. These icons are important and play a big role in how you play the game. They keep up with your personal settings and keep the game scores. These little icons can be found in every video game ever made. Some of them are used to choose a character that is predetermined by the company who made the video game to represent the player.

However, Nintendo took it one step further with the Wii games and designed a “Mii Channel” simply called Mii. They did this to make things a little more personal for the players. They named this icon “Mii”, which is pronounced “me”, because it deals with each individuals playing concept of the game and allows them to personalize their character.

Mii is a “digital avatar” that is chosen and used by the gamer to represent them while playing the game. It gives the gamer a unique way of adding a bit of their personality to the game. The console can hold up to 100 Miis and the remote can normally hold 10. Miis can be exchanged by using the “WiiConnect24”service but they can only be edited but the original console.

This gaming system even allows you to personalize your Mii for different games. This makes it even more fun for the players and gives you the freedom to be a little creative. You can create a trademark for yourself that you can use on every game that you play or use a different one for each game depending on how you feel when playing a particular game.

When you play Wii pay close attention to the Mii that others use and you will be able to learn a little about their unique personality. Over time you will even be able to recognize the Mii of others and know who is joining in the game with you. If you are new to playing Wii games you will be happy to know that personalizing your Mii is easy. Simply look at your Wii console and you will see an icon called “Mii Channel”. Go into this feature and you will have the ability to personalize your Mii.

Many gamers find this to be a little hard to get use to at first because they are so use to the companies deciding what you see on the screen. Although, once you get the hang of it you may never be happy with anything less. This idea of naming the icons Mii was a very good one. Many people love this gaming console for the simple fact that Mii makes it more personal and they feel as if the game was designed especially for them. It helps to make them feel like part of the game instead of an outsider playing the game.

Many of the gamers that use the Wii console to connect to the internet will also use their Mii as their signature for emails. You have to admit that giving the icons a name and making them more personal was a really smart idea and one of the many things that has helped to make Wii so popular.
