Unlike with the Wii and the 3DS, the Miis aren't central to the user experience I haven't randomly acquired a bunch via StreetPass, or from inviting people over to play strip- WarioWare. I thought it was just my device for playing indie games while on the plop. Thing is, I don't have any Miis on my Switch, Miitopia this is the first I fucking heard that the Switch still has a Mii-creating facility. Still, the legacy of the Wii remains with us, with every twinge of waggle-induced tendonitis and, of course, the concept of the Mii, wherein players construct a sort of refrigerator magnet homunculus they can pretend looks like them to insert into certain first-party Nintendo games with nonspecific protagonists and the general vibe of an animation on a bowling alley TV, a genre to which we can now add Miitopia, a full-on party-based RPG you can populate with the refrigerator magnet homunculi you have on your Switch. And I’m still exactly where I was, but with a slightly nicer chair, so looks like I won, hunter-duckers! Ten years on, and the Xbox has had to sheepishly remove its Kinect like a hat at a funeral, the PlayStation Move is relegated to backup Christmas-themed sex toys, and the Wii itself is consigned forever to the leaky trough of consumer history, with all its brown gunk-encrusted controllers and cheaply-made third-party hidden object games about Toy Story cast after it.
Remember the Nintendo Wii? After the Nintendo GameCube was the console equivalent of a Chinese gymnast - well-crafted and colorfully-dressed, but painfully undernourished - remember how Nintendo followed it up with something that resembled a UFO cult's purity-testing device, and it sold better than mouthwash outside a blowjob factory, and everyone was all like, "Ooh, motion controls are the future of gaming!", and I was all like, "No, they've only attracted a short-term crowd of gimmick-loving trend-followers, and ultimately, the long-term core audience of gaming plays to relax and unwind and not Morris dance around the fucking living room.", and then the consoles were all like, "Don't listen to Grumpy-Trousers! Motion controls all 'round!" This week on Zero Punctuation, Yahtzee reviews Miitopia.
