Talk:List of games with Miis

AKB48+Me/This article's coverage criteria

Hi, I have a few questions about various coverage related things. I added a (relatively obscure) 3DS game called AKB48+Me which uses real Miis as I interpreted the page to be a list Mii games with no articles, but I may have placed it in the wrong section (Games with Miis in non-playable roles) because the Miis join as singers for the band, so:

• • 1. Where is the right section or place to mention this game?
  • 2. Does it (rather than be listed here) qualify for its own article, like how Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers was recently created, or should it just be listed? More specifically, what are the dedicated article inclusion criteria for MiiWiki?
  • 3. Should this article continue to not list Mii games which already have pages (such as Tomodachi Life) or should the page be reworked to list the ones which have pages too?

Thanks. Evie (talk) 10:02, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Games that have Miis as playable characters get their own pages (see coverage policy). I think this article was originally meant to cover games where Miis aren't playable, but now that I think about it more, having sections for all games with Miis and just using {{Main}} could also work, not sure which would be better.

In my opinion, whether it warrants an article or not really depends on how Mii-focused the game really is.

The reason I created the Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers article and removed it from this page is simply because the Mii aspects of that game are a lot more integral to the game than its initial listing here might suggest (it was originally placed under "Games with Miis in non-playable roles", which is inaccurate since you control your Mii in the hub world).

Not only is there the player's Mii, but you can hire NPC Miis to assist you during the stages, each coming with their own type of weapon, and they can even level up. Even the generic civilian NPCs are Miis instead of strictly original designs.

If AKB48+Me has this much amount of central focus around Miis, then I think it deserves an article. The Jacketed Terrapin (talk) 16:54, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

"Miis" in Zelda BotW and TotK

So for anyone not in the know, both The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom contain several NPCs that have a very peculiar resemblance to Miis, and apparently that's because those NPCs are actually "advanced" versions of Miis, and with the use of modding, one can even import their own Miis into those games. This Twitter thread goes more into depth regarding this subject, so I recommend you read it to get more information.

With all the info I provided, I am curious if the Switch Zelda games are valid to list on this page or not. On one hand, the evidence shows they use a Mii-esque system and, again, Miis are able to be imported. On the other hand, there's actually no official Nintendo-approved way to import Miis and I believe neither Nintendo nor the games themselves ever confirmed the relation to Miis.

Given that they're only known to be Miis due to datamining/modding and not directly like everything else, maybe just putting something about it in this page's trivia would work? ---PinkYoshiFan 17:25, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, a trivia point is what I'm thinking, too. The Jacketed Terrapin (talk) 18:41, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
