In the same interview, it was revealed that the fukuwarai-inspired character creation originally developed for Tomodachi Collection became the foundation for Miis. According to a Japanese Iwata Asks interview, it was conceived as a “version that adult women can play” of the 2000 Japan-only fortune-telling Hamtaro video game Tottoko Hamtaro: Tomodachi Daisakusen Dechu, and was originally titled Otona no Onna no Uranai Techō ( 大人のオンナの占い手帳, lit."The Adult Woman's Fortune-Telling Notebook"). The game was developed by a small, young team at Nintendo SPD Group No.1 with Yoshio Sakamoto as a producer. This game were released only in Japan, but the first was translated on November 9, 2013, in American English by jjjewel, a US English fan.
Miis first appeared on the DS two years later in 2008, in Personal Trainer: Walking, and this game was released in 2009, one year later, only in Japan on June 18, 2009. New areas and shops are unlocked on the island by playing the game and meeting various conditions, such as the Question Hall, where you can ask your Miis anything as well as making them vote on a certain choice.īecause the Nintendo DS didn't have Miis in the first Nintendo DS Games (Miis were released on Novemon the Wii), the Miis were be shown in various Wii games like Wii Play, Wii Sports, Wii Music and most other games. When a Mii gains enough experience, they level up and collect rewards. The Miis can interact with each-other in relationships such as friendships.
The player then helps their Miis with their problems, such as making friends and performing everyday tasks, as well as giving them clothes, food, and special items to help them gain experience. The player can choose the personalities of the Miis with up to 16 combinations of personalities. Players can transfer Miis directly from their Wii console to their Nintendo DS or create new ones using the in-game Mii Maker.
