Mii
You’re Tearing Mii Apart
It’s not very often that Nintendo kills one of their franchises. F-Zero is comatose, but every now and then it comes out long enough to say “I’m still alive!” before it falls back into obscurity (I don’t care, the Nintendoland game was fun). Metroid is getting a revival, and every other major Nintendo IP is referenced or has some sort of game available on the market. ...
Listen to the the sounds of the Wii U
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAx8sBi2PPM[/youtube] Our friends over at Pure Nintendo have posted sound clips of the Wii U’s boot up music, alongside other dandy jingles that will accompany you when tinkering with the console’s Mii Maker and various menus. The sound clips were provided by the fine folks at ZeldaPower.com, and so far the sampled Wii U clips offer a cheerful, y...
Review: Mario Tennis Open serves up fast, addictive court action
Mario Tennis Open is a truly fun, hard-to-put-down game full of the charm and excellence you’d expect from Nintendo and Camelot. Its pick-up-and-play nature and smooth, fast online modes make it a perfect anywhere-anytime title. There’s a rhythm to single player progression that takes a little while to grab hold, but — once it does — Mario Tennis Open blossoms into a very f...
“Miit” My Family
I finally did it! I finished making Mii versions of all my family members! This family photo includes me, my parents, my four sisters, my four brothers, my sister-in-law, and my niece (that’s a total of thirteen, count ’em!). Don’t see the resemblance? I wanted to give everyone a unique appearance based on their individual differences. Anyone else been busy turning family, friend...
I think we all know what the 3DS needs
Mii. As in, me. That’s a play on words, see. If you’d like to raise the bar’if not the battery life’for your Nintendo 3DS, consider adding the ginger half of Infendo Radio to your fancy new handheld. Thanks to the wonders of UPC QR codes, you can import my Mii, giving you a visual aid for the magic we weave via the podcast medium. That is, if you want to. I’m having too much fun ...
Meeting a strangers Mii with StreetPass
I have been toting my 3DS around with me everywhere I go, just for the opportunity to meet someone else’s Mii via StreetPass. Yesterday it finally happened at, of all places, the grocery store. After finally experiencing this, I have to see it’s a really neat feature! Plus his Mii helped kill a ghost on my quest to free my king. Have you had an unexpected StreetPass encounter yet?

There’s a Mii in my DS…
While playing around with Personal Trainer: Walking, Kotaku editors discovered previously unknown Mii Channel Feature: Wii to DS Mii transfers. Since launch, the Wii has been able to send Miis to Wii Remotes so that the Miis can be transmitted to other Wiis. And Miis have been snaggable via non-Nintendo Mii-editing computer programs. But Miis hadn’t made it to the DS. They can now that they ...

Rare: Avatar Development Started before Mii?
As a lot of people know Mii’s are pretty cool, and we have all spent tons of hours customizing and making unique ones of our friends and of various characters that we like. So it’s not surprising another company would jump on the bandwagon and try to get a little of the avatar action. As well all know Rare is making similar avatars for Microsoft’s Xbox360. Which is all fine and g...
