How/why are they still a thing 20 years later?
>>748944084People think they look cute
>>748944084cause they’re literally mii
>>748944084simple, straightforward and compelling designs, unlike the messy, soulless avatar seen on Meta stuff;
>>748944180Yeah, but can you buy land in the Miiverse? That's what I thought.
They're fun to make and play as and a lot of people want to have sex with them.
>>748944084Miis are the definition of soulless.
>>748944541Not at all, people can get quite creative with them.Now look at this shit, THIS is soulless.
>>748944624why does metazuck have eyebrows?
>>748944084Thing, japan
>>748944624>BINGU BINGU WAHOOOOO I MADA BAGA CHEESE MANUUUUUU
>>748944084simple and cute designs but can still be used to make creative stuff, even moreso with the expanded makers in miitopia and LTD.some people having a mobface fetish helps too but sometimes it can be fun to make a silly little character.
>>748944084Iwata's remnant. I hope they go back to the 3DS and Wii UI design again.
>>748944084they've grown on me but I'm not going to pretend I didn't hate them at firstcoming from the colorful gamecube, this really was the first sign of minimalistic corposlop we're still stuck with todayjust because things are even worse now doesn't mean these are suddenly good
>>748946361less so about the miis but while i agree with it being the beginning of the shitty minimalism i think the idea behind the wii menu was to try for some sort of "sleek and futuristic" look and i think it and the menu track do it well, obviously the second you could hack your wii most people probably had a custom theme but that's not official. i feel the 3DS and wii U also doing it was when the issue really started (though at least the 3DS had themes) and the switch was that on overdrive. no fun allowed on your menus anymore just pick a fucking game.
They're barely around. Look at the new switch sports it has disgusting and soulless xbox live avatars by default. Why get rid of the good things?
>>748944084Miis have always been awesome, and if Nintendo had any brains, they'd have never tried to stop using them
>>748946361They were given lots of sovl in their games I feel like that's a big part of it. Like if they had just been avatars you can sometimes used in games they wouldn't be looked at fondly.
>>748944084Hate how this word is thrown around a lot, but they are iconic enough for them to still be worth using. It's an easy, recognizable way to fit avatars into their games.
>>748949139They actually appear as background spectators/opponents this time around. There's also a big ass Mii icon front and center in the customization menu now instead of being hid in a body menu like the last game.
They're simple but very customizable which is fun, it's pretty easy to make a unique looking Mii if you try. Also not a microtransaction tsunami like those stupid 360 avatars.
>>748949279this, there would probably still be a small fanbase for them but tomodachi life and miitopia giving them personality (even if yes tomodachi came first as an idea that had miis be ported to the wii) really helped them, even if 90% of the time said personality is "codependent and dumb as rocks".
why not? they're fun
>>748944084Easy to work with
>>748951647Honestly, it probably helps that Miis by design is both equally avatar-like, and equally weird to see in action thanks to Tomodachi being their debut. Thus, they're both the general Nintendo avatar that can be slotted into most games and delightful to sit back and watch do something silly, and their design reflects that.
They where based.
>>748951647>even if 90% of the time said personality is "codependent and dumb as rocks".I feel like this perception mainly stems from the 3DS release of Tomodachi being the one that got officially localized, while also being the odd one out in terms of how the game portrays the islanders since the presentation is zanier than the first entry. Doesn't help that the NA release punched up their dialogue to the point where everything comes off as a joke.Tomodachi Collection's islanders had a mostly sincere presentation in how they were presented, and would often say mundane or melancholy things that grounded them to their world (more specifically, the Introverted and Dry personality pools would tend to have a more negative, realist worldview while the Calming ones would be sweet for the most part, but have moments where they'll feel down on themselves).Living the Dream strikes a pretty nice balance between the two interpretations, with islanders being less ironic even in the English scripts and having more grounded things to say, but the event cutscenes themselves leaning towards the silly side.>>748945830It's interesting to see the difference between Miitopia Switch's release and Tomodachi LtD's, in that when Miitopia was new many people were excited about the makeup system and went all-in with getting creative about making characters that were originally impossible with the classic editor or original designs, but with the release of LtD, you'd see more "purists" regarding the Mii artstyle, despite the devs officially encouraging players to go all-in with the features.That said, I wish the Miitopia and LtD editors were in the base Switch 2 Mii Maker. Feels like a missed opportunity.
>>748944084I don't think they're as big as they once were, but they're cute and charming. Which is all you really want out of anything. Still I think the community they've generated and all the love their specialized games get is good.
This the thread?
We're also at a point where they, along with Wii era branding as a whole, have become retro and nostalgic for a lot of people.
>>748946361>they've grown on me
god i love mob face
MOBFACE SEXO
>haha le mob face xd xd xd i am so quirky and weird for jerking off to generic characters!
>>748954160>thanks to Tomodachi being their debutI know them from the Wii and Wii Sports/Play. Idk what the fuck you are talking about. Tomodachi was like 10 years later.>erm actually the first tomodachi-was japan-only in 2009. Nobody cares, weeb. Also Wii came out in 2006.

>>748964164giving you indians internet access was a mistake
>>748964237Indians like bobs and vagene, not feet.
>>748944624How do you spend tens of billions of dollars and this is all you can come up with?
>>748964102The anon he was replying to was referring to the Mii concept originating from Tomodachi before being ported to the Wii and specifically being designed around that game.
>>748945830I don't like animated or drawn porn. I think hentai is weird and gay. But spicy art of this Mii bitch gets me feral as fuck. What gives?
>>748964751>I don't like animated or drawn porn. I think hentai is weird and gay. But spicy art of this Mii bitch gets me feral as fuck. What gives?you have a porn addicton, but the real answer is that hentai takes like 15 minutes to get to the point and by then you've probably finished your business.
