yeah this channel is a surprise in how cool it is. So many awesome miis, and I like community features. The Terminator mii's is fucken amazing to say the least. I was like HOW IN THE WORLD DID THEY MAKE THAT ?

It's actually pretty cool. Not much to do on it right now, but the voting channel started out like that, and now I check it all the time for new polls.

Already made my "Mario without a hat" entry. Looking forward to seeing the entries!

- I'll make this a once a weeker visit, like the EVC.
- Now if only it'd stream the current contest theme on the channel icon. That way, I wouldn't have to click on it, then go back to the Mii Channel to make it.

Yeah, I just got that this morning. Good job Nintendo, being on top of reading this board and figuring it out so quick.

It totally makes sense for the first contest to be Mario, besides Galaxy coming out, since he's Nintendo's mascot. But I totally can't wait for American Idol contests.

Also: Jesus, Hitler and Dr. Zoidberg.

And there's a good number of Pac-Mans in there, too.

Ugh! I'd download those, somehow (can't find specific Miis), but I don't have Wi-Fi. Well, that and my Wii is in a shipping container to another country.

This channel's pretty rad. I just uploaded John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and David Lynch. Damn those Terminators are amazing.

Who's that animal thing? I saw him twice, once as K.B. and once as B.K.

My Mario w/out a hat entry has been sent, and it's a little different...

Also, the only thing I hate about it is that, I can't seem to find the Miis that I upload...

Any heal in this area would be appreciated...

The animal is Bowser, I believe. King Bowser?

Anyways, there was a distinct lack of V from V for vendetta. So I uploaded one. ^_^

Ooooh I can see it now. Maybe they mount Bowser Koopa? I would've just gone with K.K. for King Koopa or just a B. for Bowser.

well actually you can sign up for messages to be sent to your Wii Message board when new updates like this happen. So you don't even need to turn on your wii, you will see blue light and message will tell you to check out the channel

so you can't name your miis "go fuck yourself" or "insert racial slur here"

Actually I like the initials. It's fun to look at them and think for a second. The moment you realize what they stand for is awesome.

Also the "call friends" button is GREAT! I guess it calls Miis with similar names and similar features. The Einstein ones are very good!

Wow, the difference between the local (in my case Japan) and world (in my case, anywhere other than Japan) is frighteningly striking.

My local channel has a good variety with a lot of original designs, but the world one is full of Charlie Brown, Michael Jackson, Star Wars characters, and versions of some burly bearded man who I don`t recognize.

I can't believe I just spent over an hour browsing through Miis. Whatever they did, it worked.

I hate how you can only put initials for your Mii. I guess it cuts down on people putting in inappropriate games.

Uploaded Frodo Baggins, Terminator, Tony Soprano, Blade, and Ralphi from A Xmas Story. Also nabbed myself a cool looking Darth Vador.

Nintendo really needs to patch the Mii channel to include more features.

This is such a snore-inducing feature for me. This is exactly why I sold my Wii. While Wii gets crap like this, the other 2 are getting Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Uncharted, CoD4, etc. etc.

I know I sound like an anti-Wii fanboy, but it's just how I feel.

It's a friggin' OPTIONAL console feature, not a game.

And because Super Mario Galaxy doesn't come out tomorrow or anything.

Some things missing from this channel that could make it great:

- View my Miis' rankings, how many viewed their profiles, how many liked them, and how many saved them to their Wii.
- Subscribe to an artisan. Via some screen you could view new Miis from your favorite artisans.
- Categories (not just Skills) assigned to Miis. This would make searching for Miis easier. How many are already applicable to Movie, Videogames, TV, Music, and even ORIGINAL concepts?
- What's New menu. Find the most popular of the newest Miis.

Cap\\\'n Jack, agreed on all counts. I uploaded 7 Miis, and I don't see how to even view them, much less see how people have rated them. And I want to be able to ssee Miis posted by people I know. Why aren't those very basic features present? And yes, you should be able to separate original concepts from celebrity caricatures.

This is a great idea, really, but the execution leaves much to be desired.

um, if you want to see Miis from people you know... they could.. just... email you the Mii.

You know, it's been a feature since launch.

One thing of note you didn't mention in your article is that you get a number for any Mii you upload, and you can search by number. So you can post the number of your Mii anywhere so anyone can easily find it.

Cap///'n Jack, Destin, you can subscribe to an artisan. Find a mii of theirs which is unique (few to no similar miis) and favorite it. Then search for friends. Any mii which can't fill it's friends search with similar versions will end the list (and in the case of a truly unique mii, no similar miis exist, so this effect forms the entire list) with all the miis posted by that artisan.

If you wish to provide this effect to friends, I suggest (and did myself) uploading the actual mii you use as your artisan. They are usually unique enough. You can then just share that one mii's code to share your collection.
