Mii (franchise): Difference between revisions

From MiiWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
(After a bit of research, I'd argue Badge Arcade and Rusty don't really count as Mii series games. The former only has Miis appear as background characters and nothing more, while the latter's only Mii-related aspect is the player character. That, and I don't think either game has ever been officially considered Mii series games (at the very least, Smash Ultimate puts their spirits in "Others" instead of "Mii").)

The '''''Mii'' franchise''' is a software franchise consisting of various video games and applications centering around customizable avatars used on every Nintendo consoles, along with a few mobile apps and DS games, ever since the [[Wii]] back in 2006 named "[[Mii]]s".  
The '''''Mii'' franchise''' is a software franchise consisting of various video games and applications centering around [[Mii]]s, customizable avatars that have been used on every Nintendo console since the [[Wii]] along with a few mobile apps and DS games.


While the franchise properly started with the Wii launch title ''[[Wii Sports]]'' and the pre-installed [[Mii Channel]] application, both being released on the November 19th, 2006 in North America, various other applications and games were either planned to be the start of the very concept of customizable avatars or were reworked into other projects released before wise, such as an [[Mii Maker#Face Creator (Famicom Disk System)|untitled avatar creator for the Famicom Disk System]], a scrapped Gamecube game titled ''[[pikipedia:Stage Debut|Stage Debut]]'' or even one of the game from the ''[[mariowiki:Mario Artist (series)|Mario Artist]]'' series, being ''[[mariowiki:Mario Artist: Talent Studio|Mario Artist: Talent Studio]]''.  
While the franchise properly started with the Wii launch title ''[[Wii Sports]]'' and the pre-installed [[Mii Channel]] application, both being released on the November 19th, 2006 in North America, various other applications and games were planned to have or had the basic concept of customizable avatars. These include an [[Mii Maker#Face Creator (Famicom Disk System)|untitled avatar creator for the Famicom Disk System]], a scrapped Gamecube game titled ''[[pikipedia:Stage Debut|Stage Debut]]'', or ''[[mariowiki:Mario Artist: Talent Studio|Mario Artist: Talent Studio]]''.  


The ''Mii'' franchise has somewhat blurry limits as to what game and applications should or shouldn't be considered as part of it, as Nintendo has not given a precise list of games and applications that are part of it, only lifting clues in very few areas. One example is ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'''s spirit section, which uses a Mii icon in order to represent various series under a proper "''Mii''" franchise. Some series, such as ''[[Wii Fit (series)|Wii Fit]]'' and ''[[Swapnote (series)|Swapnote]]'', do not possess the Mii symbol despite the former being a sub-series of the ''Wii'' series and the latter's main character [[Nikki]] being a Mii. Meanwhile, ''Pilotwings'', a series with only one installment that supports Miis (that being ''[[Pilotwings Resort]]'') and even predates the existence of Miis, is still given the Mii icon.

Neither applications, single games or series of the franchise could be fairly decided to be considered as a "main" installment of the franchise, and very few of them reference one another, only being linked via the heavy uses of Miis. Amongst those titles are the [[Wii series|''Wii'' series]], itself composed of smaller series such as the ''[[Wii Sports (series)|Wii Sports]]'' and ''Wii Fit'' series, the ''[[Tomodachi (series)|Tomodachi]]'' series, ''[[Nintendo Land]]'', ''[[Miitopia]]'', ''[[Miitomo]]'', ''[[StreetPass Mii Plaza]]'', the [[Mii Maker]]s themselves, etc.

The best-selling game in the franchise is currently ''Wii Sports'' released for the Wii, selling around 82,900,000 copies worldwide and being the fourth best-selling game of all time as of April 2024.

The Mii franchise is a software franchise consisting of various video games and applications centering around Miis, customizable avatars that have been used on every Nintendo console since the Wii along with a few mobile apps and DS games.

While the franchise properly started with the Wii launch title Wii Sports and the pre-installed Mii Channel application, both being released on the November 19th, 2006 in North America, various other applications and games were planned to have or had the basic concept of customizable avatars. These include an untitled avatar creator for the Famicom Disk System, a scrapped Gamecube game titled Stage Debut, or Mario Artist: Talent Studio.

The Mii franchise has somewhat blurry limits as to what game and applications should or shouldn't be considered as part of it, as Nintendo has not given a precise list of games and applications that are part of it, only lifting clues in very few areas. One example is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's spirit section, which uses a Mii series symbol in order to represent various series under a proper "Mii" franchise. One series, Pilotwings, which only had one installment that supports Miis (that being Pilotwings Resort) and even predates the existence of Miis, is given the Mii series symbol. However, certain games or series that feature Miis, such as Swapnote, Rusty's Real Deal Baseball, and Nintendo Badge Arcade, are not given the Mii series symbol and are instead categorized with smaller non-Mii related games or series that do not possess a series symbol.

No application, game, or subseries can be definitively called the "main" installment of the franchise, and very few of them reference one another, only being linked via the heavy uses of Miis. Amongst those titles are the Wii series (itself composed of smaller series such as the Wii Sports and Wii Fit series), the Tomodachi series, Nintendo Land, StreetPass Mii Plaza, the Mii Makers themselves, etc.

The best-selling game in the franchise is currently Wii Sports for the Wii, selling around 82,900,000 copies worldwide and being the fourth best-selling game of all time as of April 2024.

Applications

While video games are generally regarded as the Mii franchise's most iconic titles, various applications were created alongside them on various hardware.

Mii Makers

In order to create Miis in the first place, various avatar creators were produced over the years and on various hardware, often being directly installed on a console. Some Mii Makers were also included with other games as well, such as Tomodachi Collection (an example of being included out of necessity, as the DS did not have system-wide Miis) or Miitopia (an example of a game-specific Mii Maker having more features than the system-level one, such as more hair colors).

Wii Channels

The Wii console has various other applications, called "Wii Channels", available to be used in order to do all sorts of things, such as looking at various photos, checking the recent news and upcoming weather, etc. While some Wii Channels were pre-installed, others had to be downloaded, making it hard to use them due to the closure of the Wii Shop Channel, as well as most channels' own servers having shut down.

Amongst the various Wii Channels, some had Mii-focused activities, such as the Everybody Votes Channel, in which the player could use their Mii and send it to the world in order to represent them during various debates; the Mii Channel, which allows the player to create Miis; the Japanese-exclusive channel Wii no Ma, in which Miis were a big part of, with the player's family being represented by Miis and even had some Mii-focused items available to buy, such as stamps and calendars; and the Check Mii Out Channel, which allowed to send and download Miis from all around the world.

Swapnote series
