Topic: Mii for NES

So apparently Mii's where thought up of long before Wii.
I haven't been able to find much info on this, but it seems that there is a canceled game for the NES that was the original concept for what we all now know as Mii's. Found this out on a list on http://nintendo.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_cancelled_games .
I think it's funny how this conecpt was brought up so long ago, and didn't even see the light of day until about 2006.
Here is a video I found:

Interesting... I'm glad they waited though.

yeah. I wonder if it really was something they could have used in past games though. Like, be it for the SNES, make your Mii playable on Super Mario Kart. I guess back then it would have probably just been a game, instead of part of the system like it is today though, or maybe some sort of add on. I wonder what their plans for it was. I mean, even on the Wii, it's a pretty simple concept.

its true, and its funny cuz i was thinking about this the other day.

Amazing that they held onto this concept for 20 years!

I just still think it's crazy we didn't' see it way before the Wii. Funny how it came back full force.

Now they are saying Miis are the next generation games. Mario isn't quite as popular, but Miis are doing great. Idk. I like pretty much all Nintendo franchises.

Lots of innovative ideas probably take many years to develop to get it right.
Compare the DS to game.com or Kinect to the Sega Activator.

when i first read about it, i was very surprised that thought of this idea as far back as that, but never ultilised it until 2006 for the wii.
