It’s no secret that Nintendo Wii owners love their Mii characters, and now there’s a chance for those same owners to show off their creative side: Nintendo on Nov. 11 will launch the “Check Mii Out Channel.”
In the Posting Plaza area of te Check Mii Out Channel, users can submit, exchange or just browse Miis posted by others in their region or worldwide. The channel offers the ability to look at a random selection of 1,000 Miis or to see just the current orall-time favorites. Players have a variety of ways to search for specific Miis, including by the name of its creator or by a number specific to each Mii. Users can also tag their favorites or import them to their own Wii systems.
The contest section of the Check Mii Out Channel challenges users to submit Mii creations to represent a specific person, character or theme. These could include historical figures (Abraham Lincoln or Vincent Van Gogh), fictional characters (the Tooth Fairy or the New Year’s Baby) or descriptive themes (“the biggest bully ever” or “the overbearing boss”). Users can then vote on Miis submitted by others to determine the Mii that best fits the challenge. Each contest will generally last two weeks: one for creating and submitting Miis, and the second week for people to vote on the results.
This free new channel will be able to be downloaded from the WiiWare section of the Wii Shop Channel.
