Mike Myers' Mii A "Frightening Representation"
Apparently, Mike Myers and I have different definitions of the word "exactly." Perhaps it's the Canadian definition, as Myers' assertion that his Mii looks "exactly" like him is more of a "kind of" or "barely" in my opinion. While, I assume, pitching The Love Guru on The Tonight Show, Myers exposed his Wii avatar to the television viewing public, one which could easily be confused with Hawkman's Mii. -

Nerd Wedding Afoot, Mii Invitations Abound
Nerds get married all the time. Nothing new there. But nerds getting married in style, well, that is something new. This is the invite that's been sent out to friends and family of 4 Color Rebellion's Vinnk. And it's just great. Tasteful use of Miis in a formal ceremonial invitation and the joyous union of two crazy kids in love? Unprecedented. More »

Church Uses Mii Christ for Easter Outreach
Never let anyone tell you that San Francisco isn't the heart of the gaming world. Where else would you find a church using Mii to promote an upcoming Easter service. Mission Bay Community Church in San Fran sent this clever picture out to parishioners earlier this week. So great.

Police Use Miis to Solve Case
Cops are smart. Well, some of them are. The police in UK's West Yorkshire seem pretty bright and have figured way to track down the owners of a stolen Wii: The console's Miis. The Wii was stolen by a 32-year-old man arrested earlier this month. It contains 16 Miis with names that include Seb, Pheebes, Nicks and Evie. Says Officer Neil Johnson: More »

Miis In Valentine Chocolate for Loved Ones
Mmm, de-licious! What better way to say I love you than with diamonds. But for those who can't afford pricey stones, there's this: Mii-shaped chocolates. Perfect for Valentine's Day! Priced at US$14.95, the set comes in milk and white chocolate, and it's possible to switch out the girl for another boy (vice versa). Sadly, the chocolate figures aren't based on your own Miis. Probably for the best — imagine biting your loved one's chocolate Mii head off. The horror. More »

Nintendo Unveils Check Mii Out Channel
The evening of November 11th will see an all-new channel join the Wii's lineup, as Nintendo officially announces the Check Mii Out Channel. The channel consists of two different areas, the Posting Plaza and the contest section. The posting Plaza acts as a sort of Mii marketplace, where users can upload their Miis, browse other people's creations by region, search for Miis by number or creator, or just pull up random thousand of the little guys for a party on your television. Find one you like and you can import it directly to your system. The contest section will host Mii creation contests based on famous people, historical figures, or even descriptive themes left open to personal interpretation. Contests will run two weeks, with the first week for entry and the second for judging. The prizes? Why notoriety of course, which to a creative person is worth its weight in gold! Nice to see the Mii concept expanded somewhat. I plan on downloading every Mii I can until my console explodes. More »

Sonic, Mario, Dreams and Mii
If you thought that a fat Italian plumber outrunning Sonic the Hedgehog was pretty implausible, imagine my lazy ass doing it. Sega has announced Mii integration in the upcoming Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, allowing you to use your Mii to compete against gaming legends, finally allowing me to live out my fantasy of stabbing Wario in the face with an epee, though the lack of a full-contact co-ed wrestling event leaves another unfulfilled.

Sure, I know those party games are wearing on you, but the core soccer game was pretty fun, from what I've played. More »

Cnet Jumps On The Mii Bandwagon
For a tech news site, this seems a little late in coming, but Cnet.com is currently hosting a gallery of celebrity Mii images culled from around the web. Some of these I had seen before, but others were new to me and the majority of them are dead on. Some celebrities of note include Chuck Norris, Laurel & Hardy, Jack Black, Peter Jackson and Woody Allen. Also featured is Dave Curry's prize winning Zach Braff Mii (pictured) which took the grand prize in Kottke.org's Celebrity Mii contest. Curry was awarded with a little statue of his winning Mii which is also featured in the gallery. More »

Custom Mii Cake Toppers... Brilliant!
Here's an excellent idea for you to blatantly steal when you get hitched. A soon to be married couple—who just happen to be friends with 1UP editor Mike Nelson—decided the best way to show their nerdy dedication to eachother was to adorn their wedding cake with their Miis. So, they contacted the team at Mii Sculptures and had themselves immortalized in bobbleheaded Mii form. More »

People Posing With Their Miis
Like father, like Mii. Not only does that guy look smug, his Mii looks smug, too. Over at website I Still Play Games: The Mature Gaming Community Resource (yes, I know, I know), a bunch of people have posted pics of them with their Miis. It's kinda like when last year all those people posed with their Second Life or World of Warcraft avatars, and many discovered that some players like to have the opposite gender represent them in the virtual world. No, wait. It's nothing like that at all. Still, pretty neat and almost creepy how close the Mii likeness can be. More » -
