Woops, Looks like someone didnt put BHO for his initials. So, I must say: Lawl, BO.
I have to wonder if there are any Mii versions of Hillary though. It'd probablly be made to look like the devil or something if a gamer made it..Hmm, maybe I should do that.
You can only put 2 initials for a Mii, so that's the closest you can get.
Just what I want, a Mii of a scumbag politician.
I really want to vote for this man come November. Let's hope the Democrats don't screw it up with the nomination.
I wouldn't download a Mii of him, though.
I don't like him as a canidate, so I'm not downloading him for my Wii.
Really?!?! Wow.
So what are those things? Sort of like a gamer pic for the 360?

Mii's are avatars. That's the best way to describe them I believe.

No. They are just little digital versions of yourself or others you an make on the Wii. They really don't have a point except for Wii Sports.
@Spencer
All politicians are scumbags.
Actually, Mii's can be used in other games as well, the most recent I can think of is Mario Kart Wii.
They make cameos in lots of nintendo games. They're used as avatars for save files in Mario Galaxy, and they show up in "Wario ware:smooth moves" as well. Unfortunately, they only show up in nintendo games, which is kind of a pisser.
The cleverest use of the Barrack Obama Mii I ever saw was in Mario Kart.
In the game you can play as "baby" versions of the nintendo family (Baby mario, baby princess, etc.) someone made "Baby Obama" and raced as him once.
Too cute.
so is hitler.
Its really not that big of a deal
only a few replies in and someone already invoked godwins law. GG.
it wasn't meant to slam him.
i was just making a point.
hillary and bill are popular too.
would it have been better if i said jesus is really popular too?
Godwin's law only really doesn't apply here, given the context.
Good try though.
I must say I'd rather find this mii randomly walking around in the visited mii section than the one I found after a weekend away. Only one came by the whole weekend and who does it happen to be of? Paris Hilton.
My wii has been violated, and it will never be clean again. Even deleting that thing wasn't enough to me.
To be fair, Mr. T Mii seems to be equally popular.
~~All Knowledge is Worth Having~~
I pity the fool that has a Mii T!
They seem like a kind of cool idea. If it was a generic character model thats can be used in most games it'd be fancy although somewhat out of place in resident evil 5... Than again, think of using the paris hilton one & letting her get mauled to death constantly by zombies! Hell if that was possible, I'd probably buy a wii just for it!
I wish more games would utilize Mii characters. I have envisioned an epic RPG game where you choose four Mii characters to embark on an epic quest. The quest would have the characters traveling through different dimensions along the way. The environments would range from things like a fantasy world full of magic to high tech space areas with phazer guns and spaceships. The characters would gain new special abilities as they travel through the games so that as the game progresses, a character would have the choice of using attacks like fireballs and ice swords to plasma rifles and strength enhancing robotic gauntlets. Of course each type of enemy would be more or less susceptible to different kinds of attacks. I will come up with other ideas for environments besides fantasy and space another time. My team would consist of me, Batman, Chuck Norris, and Robocop. I know this is not really related to the topic but I just had to tell somebody about this awesome idea.
Corey, write that down and sell it to a big name game company, you will be rich and i shall have a good game upon my lap.
Thank you! I wonder if there is actually a game company that would be willing to run with this idea. All I really have is the general idea as I have almost no computer technical skills to make it myself. But it would be super fun to play a game like that.
You act as though this is a great revelation. GP has professed quite openly that he considers himself left-of-center (Read: Democrat), and with how critical Hillary Clinton has been of video games, who do you think he leans to? (I guess some would argue that McCain is actually left-of-center, though)
Plus, a McCain Mii would just be hideous. In fact, I'll make this when I get home.
~~All Knowledge is Worth Having~~
Heh. I suppose you're only making that hideos Mii to beat the shit out of it in boxing, or perhaps simply to feel the satisfaction of deleting JC from the (virtual) world.
