Mii Spotlight: The inaugural edition

We're test-driving a new feature here at Wii Fanboy, but there's an essential element we lack, and that's your participation. See, we know that Miis are the hotness and no one can resist twisting the system to produce Admiral Ackbar, but we want to see what you have to offer. Who lives in your Mii Plaza? This is your chance to show off all your hard work. Just send pictures of your best Miis to mii at nintendowiifanboy dot com, and the best of the best will appear right here in the Mii Spotlight on Saturdays.

But don't just send any old Mii; everyone's seen the title character from V for Vendetta, and we've all seen Peter Griffin and the cast of The Office. Send us your creative Miis, or even just the Miis you made for yourself and your friends, perhaps along with a picture of the real deal. We want to see how good you are at making Miis.

After the jump, we've got a few examples from around these interwebs, as well as tools that may help in the creation process.

MiiPlaza.net is packed with more Miis than one could shake the proverbial stick at. Some of the best ones come from cartoons, since Miis are themselves very cartoon-like. Here's a few we like:

Beavis and Butthead, by user Rage:

And from the same user, E Honda! He was always a favorite when we needed to humiliate someone in Street Fighter. Nothing like putting on the squeeze.

This one, by user Mr. Tip, wins us over because, really, who's not a Conan fan? If you said, 'not me,' then you are so dead to us. We give Mr. Tip an A+ for presentation, though we wish it was bigger. Conan is pretty big, after all. He should be crushing the other Miis and driving them before him, just like Satoru Iwata does. Just, y'know, on a smaller scale.

Wow, now we really want Nintendo to add a Mii Steel Cage Match feature to Mii Plaza. That would really liven things up, eh?


And of course, there are Miis from some of our favorite games... like Dr. Stiles from Trauma Center, submitted by Mii Plaza user N8gameboy:

If you need ideas, there are tons of sites with Miis, but the best, of course, will be original. Wow us with your creative skills. Need a place to practice that's away from your Wii? No problem. Remember the first flash-based Mii creator that was posted here and on Joystiq -- that's still useful for a general idea, and then there's this one as well, the Mii Editor, which we put to good use:

So all that's left is for you to send us your Miis. For now, send us a Mii that means something to you, and feel free to explain why you chose it. We'll be happy to post the best, but if it takes us a while to get to you, don't despair. Don't have any Miis that you feel are meaningful? Then get ready for our first theme week, which will feature Nintendo-themed Miis. Send us execs, characters from games, whatever floats your boat. But one warning: we probably won't use anything obvious (like Mario) unless it's the best Mario ever. You were warned.
