If you thought you were going to be using your Wii to play Super Mario Galaxy next week, you were sorely mistaken. Nintendo has announced that the new "Check Mii Out Channel" will be available as a free download on the evening of November 11. The download will be free, and will be downloadable from the WiiWare section of the Wii Shop Channel.

First revealed at E3 2007, the "Check Mii Out Channel" will let players show off their Miis, and vote on those created by others. Using the channel's "Posting Plaza," users can submit, exchange, or just browse. The channel also features a "contest" section, where users will be challenged to submit Mii creations of a specific person, character, or theme (everything from Abraham Lincoln to the Tooth Fairy are given by Nintendo as example).

I find it hard to believe that people are sill actually making Miis; we should have a contest to see who could make the most surprised looking "Nick Chester" Mii. Just when you thought Mii-fever had gone and died, it looks like Nintendo are going to ressurrect the hype just in time for the holidays. Well played, Nintendo.

NINTENDO SAYS 'CHECK MII OUT' WITH CREATIVE NEW CHANNEL FOR WII

Free Interactive Channel Lets Users View, Vote for the Best Mii Creations

REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 8, 2007 – It's no secret that fans of Nintendo's Wii™ system love their Mii™ characters – those adorably cartoonish caricatures of friends and family members that can be used in games like Wii Sports™. Some of the more artistic fans have even taken it upon themselves to make Miis of celebrities, politicians and fictional characters. Nintendo supports consumers' creative spirit with the Nov. 11 evening launch of the Check Mii Out Channel. This free new channel can be downloaded from the WiiWare™ section of the Wii Shop Channel by people who have their Wii systems connected to the Internet.

"The Check Mii Out Channel lets people show off their Mii creations and vote on those created by others," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "It's yet another way that we're building fun, interactive communities of Wii owners without charging them extra for the privilege."

In the Posting Plaza, users can submit, exchange or just browse Miis posted by others in their region or worldwide. The channel offers the ability to look at a random selection of 1,000 Miis or to see just the current or all-time favorites. Players have a variety of ways to search for specific Miis, including by the name of its creator or by a number specific to each Mii. Once users have found that "special Mii," they can even tag their favorites or import them to their own Wii systems.

The contest section of the Check Mii Out Channel challenges users to submit Mii creations to represent a specific person, character or theme. These could include historical figures (Abraham Lincoln or Vincent Van Gogh), fictional characters (the Tooth Fairy or the New Year's Baby) or descriptive themes ("the biggest bully ever" or "the overbearing boss"). Users can then vote on Miis submitted by others to determine the Mii that best fits the challenge. Each contest will generally last two weeks: one for creating and submitting Miis, and the second week for people to vote on the results.

The Check Mii Out Channel is the latest addition to other fun, interactive informational channels, such as the News Channel, Everybody Votes Channel and Forecast Channel. Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other Wii features, visit Wii.com.

Can't wait! :D
 
finally another channel :lol and i'm really interested in the check mii out XDi've seen lot of crazy mii's and i think there's a lot of funny miis in the world
 
I downloaded my today. The first contest is to create a Mario without his cap. I also submitted some of my own Mii's but I'm not sure if they made the Top 50.
 
It's sorta strange, but cool at the same time. I like the whole contest idea and I submitted my own entry.

How did people get the different masks on their miis? Am I missing something on the Mii menu?
 
is really crazy....the most bizzare mii i ever seen in my life XD, the chao mii. i'll try to make a mario without his hat
 
The Check Mii Channel is awesome! I downloaded someone's Chuck Norris Mii. I can't believe how detailed some people are able to make the Miis. :D
 
i can't figure out how people create a good mustache for mario......the one on the mii channel is not big enough for mario's mustache
 
I love Check Mii Out too. Contests take too long though (I wanna find out how my Mario did!)

I've imported:

Darth Vader
Peter Griffin
Naruto
Mr. Bean
Mr. Burns

I tried to make a Homer Simpson one but that's pretty hard to pull off.
 
Hardly, it's one of the best Channels on the Wii. It's fun to be able to do something with Miis.


Now if we could win Wii Points for winning contests...

It's fun to make Mii's...a channel just to look at others is kinda disappointing.

EDIT: It being one of the best channels on the Wii doesn't say much for the channels either.
 
You can import them to increase your collection, show off your masterpieces, vote on them, and enter somewhat weird contests. That =/= looking at others.
