Why People HATE the "New Mii's"

Damn Guys! Thanks for all the support and comments on this video, I've been reading some interesting discussions in the comments. I ranked all the "Wii Series" games if you want to hear my opinion of each game. Link: https://youtu.be/Ap5NgOWk0Ho

I think they’re suffering from same face syndrome because of the lack of customization options. Miitopia was a huge hit partially because of the various options that they could decorate their miis with. You could add wigs, face stickers for more detail, and it still has the same, simple mii style yet were so diverse. Heck, you could make spongebob if you wanted lmao- edit: sheesh 8k likes?

Personally I don’t dislike the designs, but I definitely agree there’s something “off” about them, not to mention the original miis have that nostalgia factor

I think they kind of have a "corporate art style" vibe to me, the Mii's were so simple yet carried so much charm, what with the bowling pin-type body and no arms. And the faces could be customized to no end

The things that made miis soooo iconic was because you could literally make anyone/anything out of them. (I use to just sit down and create miis for fun instead of play games sometimes.) This cute style is just toooo corporate and lifeless…

My main problem is that they look so generic. The great thing about Miis is that they're simplistic, but appealing, and highly customizable.

I think the new characters are kinda cute, but in a very 'corporate' kind of way, whereas the Miis were SO WEIRD LOOKING when they first released that you couldn't help but love them. Even as Miis got more complicated, they still stuck to the flat and simplified design that lets you project personality and feeling onto them. The new characters are just kinda... staring into the middle distance... soullessly...

I think it's because there isnt as much customization and they all look kind of "perfect". The cool thing about the old miis was that they didnt have to be beautiful.

For me , the 'new mii' look just too.. perfect. Idk in the old one, peoples had defaults, obvious face traits, it looked funny and we had more possibilities. The new mii's gives less possibility and they looks less like us. It's sad :C

Part of the fun of the original Mii characters was that customization was far from restrictive. If you were bored and then decided to get creative with options, you could make a cyclops or rat-faced guy.

The new miis are bad because you can’t speedrun making a peter griffin one

Speaking of their designs, i’m actually curious on how new miis are going to be played out in new 3rd party games. Classic miis are extremely simple and customizable, letting you to slap their faces on pretty much any model and call it a day, and it actually worked. The new ones on the other hand… Yeah, good luck with that

you didnt touch on one thing that i noticed immediately- all the "new mii's " are the same height and weight. that was another big thing that separated miis from each other. of course, i always made my miis the shortest possible- but it still differentiated my miis from others miis.

The best thing about Miis is that they can be made to represent all kinds of different people. Meanwhile, the Sportsmates are so uniform and conventional that they all pretty much look the same, and they hardly feel like avatars

I think it’s because they are too “clean” and “pretty” looking. There’s no personality to their appearance, unlike the original Mii’s.

I just think the “New Mii’s” have a VERY different style from the Old Mii’s. The Old Mii’s had exaggerated noses (and ESPECIALLY the noses), eyes, and facial features to me (as a kid cuz I started first playing when I was like 8) but it was also easy to recognize. Like if you showed me a Mii face and just that face only (like no hair, no jaw, just the face up close), then I would be able to say “Oh that’s a Mii face!” or something like that. Whereas the “New Mii’s” had this soulless face on them. And the style compared from the New to the Old is just so EXAGGERATEDLY DIFFERENT I couldn’t even tell if the “New Mii’s” where even Mii’s anymore. They didn’t even look like they had ANY personality in them. Like The Henry Stickman Game had more personality in them then the these things- (my opinion) The “New Mii’s” are kinda cute, but super different from the Old Mii’s.

I don't have an issue with the design, but i do agree more emotion conveyed in the face would be a huge upgrade. Also yes old mii's are so nostalgic its hard to let go of them

I think the biggest problem with the whole "New Miis" thing is that everyone's treating them as Mii replacements instead of playermodels for one singular video game

The main problem is simple: Lack of Creative freedom. Mii are free range, you can make whatever with the tools you're given and there's whole series about making Miis because of this freedom, like Failboat does. This new sportmates, likely won't let you move or change the size of features, so you're locked to just choosing what you like, and that's it. Compared to Miis, this is a downgrade in character creation. Lastly, I think Miis are an icon of the Wii Sports series. Yeah, it's just another avatar creator, but it's so different to the customization of other games, that it's just uncanny to replace them. Switch Sports honestly looks more like a Gameloft or mobile game than a Nintendo property because of it.

11:08 To be honest I feel like the palette-swap clothing options were made as placeholders to fill the item palette with stuff just as a mockup for the trailer. The trailer has to be made a lot earlier than the latest build for the release date, so customization content was probably delayed for when the rest is complete.
