Check Mii Out - An Analysis

"Check Mii Out" is the latest channel available on the Wii Shop Channel. It's actually kind of cool (unlike that "Everybody Votes" crap).

Essentially, the channel exists so people can upload their Miis while others rate them. Everyone from celebrities and world leaders to video game and comic book characters are subjected to judgment.


I was pretty astounded by this Jack Black Mii. I haven't quite seen anything like it.

The cool part? You can add your favorite Miis to your Mii Channel. So far, I've added Charlie Brown, Admiral Akbar (of Star Wars fame), and PaRappa (the Rapper). This Jack Black Mii could be next.

So upload your Miis and subject them to judgment. The good people at Nintendo also dish out contests, like "Who can make the best hatless Mario?" or "Who can make the best pilgrim from the first Thanksgiving?" Pretty lame right?

So here comes the BTVG "Check Mii Out" challenge!
- Who can make the best Doc Louis from "Punch-Out?"
- Who can make the best Dwight Schrute?
- Who can make a guy's face look like a ham sandwich?
- Who can make an Evan Minsker Mii (who looks disgruntled after recently waking up)?

GO, TRUE BELIEVERS!
