6/28/2007 - An Incredible Mii

One of the Nintendo Wii's greatest features is the Mii Channel, where you can create an avatar of yourself (or anyone, really) and be able to use them in some Wii games. It's so much more satisfying to play a game using a character that looks like you rather than some generic sprite. The Mii characters lack realistic figures and are cartoonish, but they're still fun to create and you can make some great caricatures with them.

The Mii creation process is very forgiving in how you place facial features so you can do some pretty wild stuff. I've seen some very accurate looking celebrity Miis and some resembling various cartoon characters. This Mii in particular is probably the most creative one I've seen, though. I didn't think something like this would be possible, but here is a Pac-Man Mii that is about to eat a ghost!



Again, I love it when people make an effort to bring a touch of retro to these newfangled systems. And Pac-Man is just about as retro as it gets.
