      @risa1467 7 місяців тому +25

      But at the same token, Miis has certainly worn off their novelty.
      From a long desire of Nintendo wanting their implementation of making & using avatars for games; Miitopia on the switch is the only game to offer strong customization with them.
      Personally, I think it would be best for Nintendo to eventually move on from them & make a new robust avatar system. There also needs a whole line-up of games dedicated to them, or else it will suffer the same fate of Miis not being used as much anymore. Perhaps both systems should be supported, so Miis aren't entirely phased out.
      Nintendo games doing absolutely nothing with Miis is whats holding them back, and I can only speculate even they're bored of it.

      @@fixedfunshow That much is true. Miis that are featured throughout their games are rather limited in scope, the creator was designed to be heavily limited, and the only one that even goes beyond their limitations is Miitopia for the Switch. Obviously cannot have Miis fit in where they shouldn't too, which goes against developer visions.
      Reading that Zelda BOTW & TOK converts Miis into generated NPCs into their style shows that the tech for something ambitious can be done. Will Nintendo share that tech for other studios to implement on the Switch? Probably not.
      Or... if we can have Mario Talent Studio return back as a new flagship avatar system Nintendo can use, that'd be great.

      It just so happens games and apps like that discontinued phone app allows them to be robust. Sadly, you know wonder why Nintendo has quietly pushed them away and Smash Mii Costumes just become full character models. You almost forget they're Miis at that point.

    **Unstructured Gush Warning**
    The Miis are GOATed. They were, for a time, almost like my "special interest." I've always been hellbent on being immersed in games whenever I played them (usually accomplished by enthralling gameplay, but if it's my first time playing a game, I want to play it in a quiet place so things like story, characters, music, and environments hit harder), which is hard to accomplish in a loud/bright/noisy place, but Mii Maker found a way to just enthrall me (Mii).
    I've made (and backed up to my Wii U) about 70 Miis, mostly based on fictional characters I like. I've made a good Mii character or 2 that really pushes the built-in system, and I've made a few... Not great... Miis that still make fun use of the system (SIDE NOTE: If anyone knows how to make good looking red eyes on the Wii and 3DS Mii Makers - Not Tomodachi Life's, the Switch's, or Miitopia's Mii Makers - Let me know).
    Once I get the time to play more games, read more books, and watch more movies, I'll likely hit the cap of 100 unique Miis based on those new experiences.
    My 3DS SD Card got corrupted along with all my games and save data, but the Miis stayed because they were part of the 3DS, and being honest: With how much time I put into making and editing it, if I had one thing to choose to salvage, my Mii collection would probably have been it.

    Since the next console will probably take a while, I think the big N should finally cave in and just give us a tomodachi on switch. Could be a sequel, a remaster like miitopia, just something. Shame Amiibo probably will be just dust collectors though, skylanders but with amiibo could have sold both the game and amiibo solidly.

    Man, I wish I had Miitopia. I’ve made a lot of Miis, 60+ unique ones, most of them fictional and some as joke characters, but besides viewing their lives on Tomodachi Life, a great game by the way, I don’t have any action to put them in. The idea of Miitopia was always interesting to me, a world where I can choose the characters and have them set out on an adventure, but sadly, Nintendo shut down its shop on the 3DS and I still don’t have a Switch.

    Tomodachi Life and Miitopia are some of my favorite games of all time. When Miitopia was ported to Switch I popped off so hard. I've been asking for another Tomodachi ever since.
    Although I do often wonder how or if they would attempt to give Switch's Miitopia customization to a new Tomodachi and how that would affect the kids the Miis can have. Even without all that customization, some of those baby Miis were haunting.
