Mii Creator: A Nintendo Alternative

The unofficial Mii creator starts off with the default option of a boy with short brown hair, a red shiny jumper and charcoal coloured pants. A pretty dull first selection may I say! But the rest of it is anything but that with a plentiful supply of character features and vibrant colours your Mii character can come alive!

If you first select the gender and change it to female you will notice all that changes is the skirt, the face stays the same meaning wii faces are pretty much generic to start with, it is up to you to create your own Mii girl using all the options, it won't do it for you! (that's if you want a girl)

Firstly name your Avatar anything you like, this will then be saved for later through the link at the very bottom of the Mii character creator. When you submit this url to any friend via email, facebook, twitter or whatever else your custom name will appear. Add to this a creator name, meaning you have two names to think of, the minion and the master's!

Next I like the shiny effect of the colours you choose for the top, but I don't really like the limited amount of colours available and also the one generic top you are stuck with, I think some attention to detail regarding the clothes would have been good. There needs to be a few more options here. Nevertheless the further options below in the grey icon panel offer further delights to custom build your Mii character.

You can easily choose your height and weight using a simple click and drag metre bar that goes from left to right. Left being small and thin and right being tall and fat! There are 8 different face shapes to choose from and 6 different skin colours. You can be fat and pale or slim and brown, it's up to you. There's also a further twelve facial features to pick from.
