Topic: Check Mii Out Channel

[NeoThunder]

Hands down......Playstation Home killer

[Nick DiMola]

I like this idea, now we just need an expanded palette for Mii creation.

[BlackNMild2k1]

The Channel is now live. Download away.

edit: I don't feel like making any Miis right now so I'll check back in on that channel sometime later in the week.

[stevey]

I'm glad I made a bunch of Mii ahead of time, I'm already at 3 stars in less than 5 mins!  

[NeoThunder]

I'm not going to be able to download it till monday cause i'm letting a friend at work borrow it and try out Wii.

Some give me an early review and tell me what the channel is like

[JonLeung]

This is $#^@! dumb!

Not the channel itself, but my inability to use it.  Why, you ask?

When my Wii was acting up, giving me speckles on the screen and stuff, I had to send in my Wii for repairs.  Rather than repair my Wii, Nintendo transferred all the data to a new Wii.  Which is fine, I didn't lose any Wii Points or saves or anything.

EXCEPT for now all the Miis I made on my original Wii are considered foreign, and I can't submit them or use them as Mii Artisans even though I myself have created them!

Oh, sure, you say, recreate them.  I could - but not the Mii that represents myself!  I now dislike how games tie themselves to a particular Mii, if I delete it I will lose the save.  While for games like Wii Sports it makes sense, I shouldn't have to lose my WarioWare and Metroid Prime 3 save!  Unless they say "oops, your Mii is gone - would you like to reassign this save file to another Mii?" - but judging by the constant warnings I doubt this is the case.

The alternative is to make a second Jon Mii.  Sheesh, it would be easier if I could see what I chose for my first Jon Mii, but of course I can't edit.  Silly.

Sounds like a great idea otherwise.  >_<

[GoldenPhoenix]

Awesome channel, it has a ton of potential.

I'm annoyed at this problem as well as many of my original Mii creations were done on other consoles, including my original Mii avatar.

It does, however, prevent people from submitting Miis that weren't created by them, so its basically a win/lose situation.

[GoldenPhoenix]

I still can't find a Reggie or Miyamoto Mii!

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

^ My Reggie Mii is somewhere out there now.

Pretty much, I'm up to my fourth Wii now, and completely given up caring about creating Mii's by now.  

[nickmitch]

My miis of the Earthbound cast are out along with my Sheena from ToS mii. I think I'll put up my Sailor Jupiter mii later.
But seriously, as far as contests go, the mii channel needs to be buffed up to make it more interesting.

[Gylldas]

I uploaded a Sheena Mii too!

I agree that customization is too limited to make unique Miis for the contests.  I've seen about a million identical Marios floating around.

Besides that though I'm fairly impressed with this channel as I wasn't really expecting much when it was announced.

[GoldenPhoenix]

I love how diverse the Miis are, I thought it was limited but I was wrong!

[The Traveller]

Ehh, i dont really see the potential. For how long its taken for this to come out its really not that great. But that said its constructed really well and is very easy to use.

THERE IS A SOLUTION TO USING YOUR MIIs IF YOU HAD TO SEND IN YOUR WII FOR REPAIR.  BEHOLD:

Is there any way to edit my Miis on my computer?
Indeed, it appears that intrepid individuals have sought out to do this exact thing. If you have bluetooth setup on your PC, you can use Mii Mega-mall ( http://www.miimall.com ) and the Mii Editor (http://www.miieditor.com ) to transfer your Miis to your computer, edit them to match your new Wii (via MAC address), and send them back to the Wii as being editable. More information about that can be found in the Mii Editor FAQ.
Thank you Pale over at NWR for this information.
Shecky further adds: It probably makes the Bluetooth computer look like a Wii Remote. And you can send a Mii to a Wii Remote as part of the Mii channel. You can even pull Mii's off the remote.

I sent my Wii in for repair, and when I got it back, I cannot edit my Miis! Nintendo transferred them to what appears to be an entirely new Wii, and it’s telling me that I cannot edit a Mii I didn’t create! Why must you toy with me so, Nintendo?
Basically it’s like you no longer have rights to the Miis in question. Use the solution above. I realize that’s not the best answer in the world, but it’s either try that or live in your misery.

[Ghisy]

I just downloaded the channel as well, it was pretty fast!
I like the idea but I don't like the fact that Miis only have initials above their heads: sometimes it's hard to tell who they are...
I'll look more into this channel later in the week though.

[DAaaMan64]

Wow this Initials thing is terrible!! I thought this is what parental controls was for!!  Totally annoying as hell.

[Kairon]

Phew. Only 90 blocks.

Also, doesn't it seem a bit slow, taking 2 weeks for a contest, 1 week for submission and another for judging? Or will they constantly rotate them in and out so we have a new contest to judge every week?

I got an email back from Nintendo affirming that the situation has not changed and that Miis are not editable.  At least, not OFFICIALLY.

I had thought to ask about Mii editors before, and I believe me and my brother had experimented with this earlier.  While we can clone Miis with now-matching addresses, the problem remains with all the related saves.

With the popularity of the Wii, why can't I find any Wii save game editors on the 'net?  If I could just edit the saves that are tied to a particular Mii to instead be tied to another one, then I wouldn't have to lose any saves or have an extra Mii of me.

[DAaaMan64]

I wonder if you can get around the initials thing by writing out name in single letters. You know so the initials spell the name :p

So for mario you might put

Meat
Anus
Rally
In
Open

which with their initial system would make.  M.A.R.I.O. Or what if you just used spaces between each letter. M A R I O

[Shecky]

You pick two letters for the initials..... no exceptions

Edit:
Speaking of which I've submitted 3 of my own, 2 under study, 1 under art (all male)

Interesting to see if anyone runs into any of them.

It seems that call friends is based of initials, gender, and category.

[ShyGuy]

Remember arcade game high score lists? This is like that except only two letters.

AL
BO
ED
FU
GO
HO
JO
MA
ME
NO
PA
UM
YO

[UltimatePartyBear]

I submitted one just as an experiment.  What's the deal with the ID it gives you for your Mii?
