Edit your Miis on your PC. Somehow.

Datel, the company best known for the Action Replay game cheat line of products, has come up with another product that enters the gray zone of intellectual property manipulation.

My Mii Manager is a program for your home computer that allows you to edit your Miis, using an included USB Bluetooth dongle to apparently transfer them via the remote's internal Mii memory.

The program will set you back $19.99 US or £14.99 UK. Datel's online store doesn't have the product in just yet, but expect to see it soon. You can check out the official press release on it below right now, though.

NWR will try to get our hands on My Mii Manager and see what it's all about. Check back with us when we do!


Manage Your Wii Mii...

...It's easy with My Mii Manager!

April 10th, 2006 - Wii owners can now personalise their Wii Mii the easy way.

Datel’s powerful Mii Manager software lets you edit your Mii on your PC. It’s a doddle to use. Just import your Mii into the editor, then edit it until your heart’s content. You can even share your Mii with Wii gamers from all over the world over the internet!

My Mii Manager has everything you need. There’s the powerful Mii Manager software application for your PC, and a USB Bluetooth receiver to let you use your Wii-mote with your computer.

My Mii Manager is in the shops now, and costs £14.99 UK or $19.99 USA. It can also be bought direct at www.codejunkies.com or by calling 08456 010 015.

Actually, someone at NeoGAF pointed out that this kind of thing can be done for free, and that the Mii code is already open. Interesting.

Indeed, I fooled with this several months ago.

But "it's a doddle to use"! Surely that makes up for all of this open-source skulduggery or whatever...

Yeah, but last time I checked $20 is good for a Bluetooth dongle.

Check again. They can be had for $8 or less.

Is it a blue tooth USB thing that can be used for anything? Or just their software?

Has anyone actually tried this? From the box art, I get the impression that there maybe more customization available than what currently exists in the Mii editor on Wii, but the common sense inside of me says that Datel is just trying to be manipulative.

It's possible that that they're not necessarly trying to be misleading, but that they don't want to risk using Nintendo "artwork" on their packages...

LOL at Datel's crappy renditions of Groudon and Kyogre on their Action Replay or whatever for the GBA. And Yugi too. But they were avoiding lawsuits.
