Mii Channel

The Mii Channel lets you put yourself in the game by creating customizable characters that fit your personality. You can then use those characters in compatible games, attach them to messages in the Message Board, and even save them to your Wii Remote to take to a friend's house. Please note that only one Wii Remote can be used while in the Mii Channel.

What are Miis for?

Miis are customizable player characters that you and your friends can create. Here are just some of the fun things you can do with Miis:

  • You can choose one of your Miis to be "you" in Mii-compatible games.
  • You can store up to 100 Miis in your Mii Plaza
  • You can carry Miis in your Wii Remote to exchange them with Miis in friends' Wii consoles. Yours will then appear in their games, and vice versa!
  • You can exchange Miis with friends around the world via WiiConnect24 and Mii Parade.
