With the release of the Nintendo Wii back in 2006, Nintendo introduced fans to its new lovable avatars: Miis. Many fans spent hours in the Wii's Mii Maker alone, creating their own Miis for themselves, friends, family, celebrities, and even characters from video games and other media. Despite this, ever since the release of the Switch, it seems that Nintendo has had a strange relationship with the avatars, with them hardly being acknowledged on the system.
However, it seems that may be changing with the upcoming port of the 3DS Mii-based RPG title Miitopia to the Nintendo Switch just next month. While many Wii U titles have made their way over to the Switch, fans were surprised to see the 3DS title announced for the hybrid system in the most recent Nintendo Direct presentation last February. And now that a demo for Miitopia is available, fans are getting creative with its Mii maker.
While the original Miitopia game already featured an expanded Mii maker feature, the Nintendo Switch port was announced to add all-new makeup and wig features to the game as well. And even though fans can already get creative with the Switch's standard Mii maker, it looks like the new makeup customization options in the Miitopia demo are allowing their creativity to run wild as fans share their latest creations on Twitter.
It looks like fans are able to create almost anything thanks to the new makeup feature. So far, Miitopia demo players have been able to whip up incredible recreations of Steve from Minecraft, the Crewmate from Among Us, and the younger Mario brother, Luigi. Twitter user The_Ultra_Nerd even shared that they spent about an hour on a flawlessly executed recreation Mr. Clean, while YouTuber DrKendoCommentaries uploaded a video detailing their process of creating a Sonic the Hedgehog Mii in the new demo. While Miitopia released worldwide near the end of the Nintendo 3DS' lifespan in 2017, it'll certainly be interesting to see how the game performs on the Switch this year.
Miitopia releases exclusively for Nintendo Switch on May 21, 2021.
