What Happened to Miis?

as time goes on there's one question which keeps getting asked where is Mario Galaxy 3 also what happened to mummies over here no I'm here no where are they very very deep in the settings menu from a 10-year period between 2006 and 2016 means we're a shining pillar of Nintendo's identity but this has been in tennis which released me is a kind of just like Weezy from Toy Story 2 and I'm woody think about it now that this video is released you will never have to watch Toy Story 2 again this is gonna be a retelling of Toy Story 2 no it's not this is a video about mieze mieze Mayfair first grandparents long save a Nintendo Wii when you boot up your Wii on one side you have an option to put in a disc and play a game on the other you'd be able to look at photos through your an SD card even in the middle we had the me channel and even with limited tools you could create anyone or anything with crazy likeness making celebrities video game characters friends and family was fun in itself but the main reason you made them ease was to use them in games we sports Wii Sports Resort we play we party we stop because we have enough examples now belongs EES dedicated games where you play as your Me's they also just make cameos and other games where the rules for me masks and Animal Crossing that's good of a city being playable on Mario Kart Wii twice or being playable character in games not made by Nintendo when does it get fun mieze really gave games an extra Flair of personality even if they weren't the main focus your friend your Cimiez cheering you one of a background or driving cars and coconut ball with a match of motion controls with the Wii and playing as yourself this really made a personal experience of a time and I think is why this error is so memorable to me I have so many fond memories of Mario Kart Wii and I didn't even unlock me outfit B and with the Wii being one of the highest selling consoles of all time I think it's obvious why no not because it was easy for casual demographics to consume it's because you could watch a boxing match between Jack Black and Peter Griffin me Sven continued to appear on the 3ds and WiiU era with no evidence of slowing down their momentum but 3ds loved me so much I had two channels for you got a more develop me maker with more options and then you had the me Plaza me Plaza was the software to take advantage of a 3d SS StreetPass feature did you ever decide to put your 30s on sleep mode and put it in your pocket and walk outside and somehow bump into someone else with a thriller in their pocket on sleep mode me neither but if you did you could use that players and their data to use within games in the meat laws or use play coins if you're socially inept but what was so cool about the me Plaza was but this was showing the entero using Me's as a social platform which then Shh me verse when it came to the Wii U the intern decide to make their very own social network and honestly looking back to the wii u error i loved me verse having each game have its own individual page in forum seeing such incredible art form of such limited tools and even making some friends and meeting like-minded people was such a surreal experience to have this much communication on a nintendo console it was a really interesting and really fun way of connecting over Wii U owners together and it's good that they did that because we didn't have anyone else to talk about it with and even though that Wii U wasn't selling that great that didn't stop Nintendo during this era from making some amazing games including games with me for the 3ds we had such titles as Tomodachi life one of the best games ever made Pilotwings resort meat topia and a bunch of meat Plaza DLC which I wish I played the meze had a great library of games on the 3ds and on but were you they had Nintendo land a Wii party sequel and Wii Sports Club a subscription service to play the first five original Wii Sports but not free I don't know why originally both for Wii U and the 3ds were viewed as having really poor sales but once four 3s got a bunch of these really good games its biggest problem not having enough games was resolved and actually ended up selling really well but once four were you got a bunch of really good games the console still had a bunch of issues left unsolved and so the whole reputation of a Wii U and everything associated with it just became an embarrassing negative stain on intend oh so when it came to the design to switch Nintendo for hmm Wii U sales are down any idea why Meis late 2016 early 2017 Nintendo switch was announced and released and things felt different there was no wiimotes in sight there was no Me's in sight Nintendo pretty much did an entire 180 on everything with this console and unfortunately that seemed to include mieze mieze was shoved into settings for only to be used as your profile picture and not everyone even uses them as your profile picture I see more of these links than anything with a switch Nintendo really pushed you to do something different commendable is to consoles the we we had we sports over we you we had a Nintendo land F of a switch we had one g switch and arms and since launched this pattern of Nintendo not using these is consistently becoming the norm except for Mario maker 2 and smash ultimate those actually have me Xin them ignore them but don't have my argue but if we skip past those it goes straight to 2019 will sleep in the internet released the game known as Ring Ford adventure the switches answer to Wii Fit the game takes you on an adventure funny wacky enemies like a yoga mats and a muscle obsessed demon and it's up to you and a face on a ring named ring to take them on oh wait a second here this guy doesn't look anything like me you went from playing as ourselves and having that connection to the character to muscular Minecraft people and now in 2020 Sumiko against another uphill battle against Nintendo introducing pop house games 51 worldwide why is this tile so long this is an incredible amount of hm it combines the worlds of we play and you know this game is ridiculously frustrating because it uses for DNA of a wii era the font the background music the sound effects the games themselves but it's missing a core it's missing a personality and I know for a fact that personality was four means the atmosphere the bowling just doesn't feel the same without having your me celebrate a strike or seeing your friends gen back in mario bowling in other lanes and you know they could have put meas in because instead but use these dumb little statues why this is a primary example of this game just being a less cool version of things we've had in the past now don't get me wrong there is not a lot of fun here I've sunk in so many hours just into hanafuda alone you were one away from three loads you're just saying words I was one card away from three lights that means we're just thinking about the potential personality of this game if it had Me's really bums me out way more than I thought it worked if this game was developed by Virginia's minds who made we party then give me party fill your retinas and why Nintendo don't have Mesa nice games because they're trying to get away from the Wii and Wii U branding and I don't want anyone thinking about the switches for Wii U but the switch has been out for three years now and it's so much more successful for the Wii U I don't think we have to worry about that anymore but Nintendo giving in a different direction doesn't just suck for me being in games but it also sucks for all the cool ideas which I did do it for Wii U like a symmetrical multiplayer they could easily do someone like that with two switches one on the TV one in hand Elden boom a really expensive way of playing Mario maker I understand why they went back to basics and did all these things but I don't want to look back of a switch era and think oh that was more boring but it could have been I don't know if we're gonna get another Tomodachi life because they think Oh bees are bad branding but if these replacements like ring for adventure and clubhouse games 51 worldwide whoa had mieze in them would it detriment their sales I don't think so I think it would actually improve their sales and make them much more fun memorable experience it might be that I'm just super nostalgic for this era of Nintendo but I have so many fond memories of being with my sister and making funny Me's of our family members while playing Tomodachi life and having a flat filled with a bunch of different people I know and seeing them interact with each other it really makes me sad but we kind of lost this personal charm from Nintendo games because mieze were a celebration of Nintendo's quirkiness and now they're no more been a glorified profile picture and what does this all mean for the future of meze what was even swept aside year after year until they're abolished no they must be brought back into the spotlight where they belong we need a dhama dodgy life sequel we need animal crossing me masks that are utterly terrifying and we need a successor to the Wii franchise let's show me some love change our profile picture to a me play as meas and Mario Kart main beetle and smash do it for Matt do it for Peter Griffin do it for burger face that's nicely made to be end of video I don't actually have something to say all I wanna say is thank swimming into the end of a video I hope that thank you to all the patrons you see on the screen if you'd like to
