    You gotta admire Miyamoto’s persistence here. You know, for some reason, he must have really liked the idea, and kept with it, not giving up hope, for decades.
    And ended up making something equally as iconic as the best selling home console Nintendo ever made.

      A character customizer is simply such a simple concept. But so intriguing if done right.
      Case in point, the number of hours people spend in the Skyrim character customiser

    (5:00) No, complicated characters does not mean large file sizes.
    Because all a character is in these games are what settings are chosen, so the file size is only determined by the amount of options chosen. So reduce the amount of options, and the file size shrinks.
    When you transfer a Mii to the remote, you aren't transferring the 3D models. You are only transferring the settings of that Mii (and that it is a Mii). For example, Xbox avatars are more detailed, for sure, but they lack any option of position, size, rotation for the facial features, meaning less options, meaning a potential smaller file size than a Mii character. ... again, you aren't transferring the 3D models, only each individual value in the settings of that character.

  • @DavidWonn
    @DavidWonn 5 років тому +36

    When I got my Wii U, I was very disappointed to find they removed the ability to transfer Miis via Wiimotes from the old Wii. Also, the process of transferring data from the Wii to Wii U was a one-way, destructive process, meaning I’d lose everything on the old console. Additionally, that option was a very bad idea, because some of my most played Wii games would lose the ability to be played with GameCube controllers (Smash Bros. Brawl & Mario Kart Wii, specifically.)
    In the end, I had to borrow a cousin’s 3DS (which I didn’t have) to transfer my 70 Miis from my Wii to his 3DS and then to my Wii U.
    Why, Nintendo, why? It’s no wonder the Wii U did so poorly in the market.
