I will also say I was a little confused when I first started playing. Sure, you can make them yourself but that’s a lot of work! I won’t complain too much though because it’s fun to customize my crew. However, I have yet to see these iconic characters make appearances. The game title itself doesn’t give away too much about the game. The Elves My Miis powering up during a fight!īefore playing the game I figured that the notorious Nintendo Miis (like Matt and Maria) would be involved. This all bonds them in your group and helps them become a cohesive team that can help out powerfully during fights. You can play rock-paper-scissors or spin the wheel at the arcade for a chance at winning coins, outfits, and more for your Miis. When they’re not at battle, they also rest, eat food or play at the arcade (once again these forays all have the ability to ultimately help the Miis at battle). The Miis’ relationship with one another, which can be strengthened through their various outings, compliments, and concerns, helps them unlock actions such as warning each other when an opponent is about to attack during a fight.
When not in battle however, the player can control how the Miis interact which ultimately decides how they perform during battle. That’s right, a military tank engine! I’m able to fold myself into my camouflage, box-type outfit during a fight to fire actual shots at my opponents! It may be untraditional, but these “jobs” definitely give me some advantages during battles. Some of the jobs are a little wacky I’n a tank right now. During battle, each member has the option of choosing from different attacks based on their jobs. You can expect to face scorpions and cacti in the desert, for example! The Miis each play an integral role in their party. I haven’t faced them all yet, but each monster is on brand with the world you are currently traveling through. These ardent Miis go on a quest with one another and embark on battles against 262 different monsters in order to earn back stolen faces. For example, you decide what their Mii’s jobs are, how they dress, what they eat and how they interact with other members of their party. Players can design and control this group. I’ve encountered kings, mayors, elves, and more, just to watch their faces get stolen by the dark lord as soon as I meet them! My travelling group of fighters is usually tasked with recovering these Miis faces. This blueish/greyish, ugly looking evil villain has wreaked havoc amongst several towns and stolen the town members’ faces! Progress is made by traveling to levels in different towns where monsters of variety are battled, different foods are collected, and different townspeople are met. The game follows a team of Miis with a common goal: to defeat the Dark Lord. With no knowledge of what the game would be about, I looked forward to the shenanigans that my Mii was about to get into. I eagerly downloaded the game on its release date. Fans who were familiar with the 3DS version of the game also shared my excitement. When I first heard that Miitopia was coming to the Nintendo Switch, I was unbelievably excited! I didn’t even need to know what the game was about to look prior to its release. Still, my siblings and I still find ourselves missing the games we used to love so much. I wouldn’t have much time to play anyways. The days of playing on the Wii are long gone our old one was “lost” after several rushed moves. I’m beginning to worry about the responsibilities I will have as a college student. With my eighteenth birthday around the corner, my “childhood” is about to end.
They had a Wii! I was moved around to different family members over the next couple of years, but the familiarity of the Wii Sports games brought me a little bit of joy during those tough times.įast forward several years. In June of 2014, we were sent to live with my father and his parents. While there were more important things we needed to recover, I was a child who just wanted the toys and devices that brought me joy and comfort. We lost whatever we didn’t go to school with that day – including our Wii. In January of 2014, my family was evicted. The Miis bright personalities and hilarious hijinks definitely brightened my childhood! After finishing our homework, we’d rush to the living room to make our Miis travel the island and compete against each other in various sports events. We started with two games: Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort. On Christmas of 2012, my nana gave my siblings and me a Wii.
