It's been a long, long, long, long time since any new Mii creation tools were introduced — we're all pretty much using the same technology from the Wii days — but Miitopia, of all things, might be about to change that.
See, it turns out that Nintendo aren't just re-releasing an old, weird 3DS game on Switch — they're also modernising it, and that includes new Mii tools. Specifically, that means two things: wigs, and makeup. It might not sound like a big deal, but if you know how creative people used to get with Miis back in the day, imagine what those same people can do with more power.
The Miitopia demo has been out for a scant few hours, but already, people are using the wigs and makeup to their advantage. Let's take a look at our favourites so far:
Hold on, hold on. We need to take a breather from this CURSED CONTENT. Miis used to be so pure, so beautiful... We have fallen so far, and there is no way back but through hell itself.
Alright, let's continue!
If this is what people can do with a single day of this new Mii creator, we are extremely excited and also a little bit scared of what will happen when Miitopia comes out for real on the 21st May.
Have you made any cursed Miis yourself? Tell us about it in the comments!

The steve and garfield miis are soo accurate :0
This gonna be one of those like Mario Maker where I just feel bad about my stuff when I look online.
wow. i hope to find a lot of them on internet when miitopia is out
So nice! My kids had so much fun just creating Mii’s on the Wii!
They also really enjoyed Tomodachi Life!
Onion Bubs! Onion Bubs!
This is effectively the ultimate meme game due to this one feature.
Looks like the NPCs in BotW2 are going to be varied, to say the least lol.
Enjoy the insanity of New Horizons 2: Miitopia Boogaloo.
Spongebob LOL 😂
@AlexOlney already made Doshin lol
Looks fun. May pick this up.
Are they gonna port some of these to the Mii creation on the Switch? I guess it doesn’t matter cuz Miis are literally just for your avatar picture. Oh and I guess Smash.
I’m so happy to see Miis back in the spotlight (where they belong)
Too bad it is so ridiculously difficult to transfer in Miis we already have on previous systems though. 😝 Sure, 1 at a time isn't too bad, but I have around 50.
One thing I liked about the demo that I hadn't come across in any previous Switch game - though my game selection is admittedly limited since I've already played a lot of them on Wii U - is the ability to see the photos you snap w/ the Photo button IN GAME. I know that sounds like not that big of a deal but as somebody who has over 500 hours in ACNH and has posted probably a hundred photos on Twitter, it has ALWAYS bothered me that for a game that HAS A CAMERA MODE IN IT we can't look at the pictures we take USING THE CAMERA until we exit the game.
Overall not a big deal but really that entire section in the menu - bestiary, EVERY SINGLE BATTLE log, medals, photos - was a nice little section. Made it feel like a real game.
Edited
I wish we could make our Mii characters look like these when the new Mario Golf comes out. I'm still not fond of being forced to use Mii's for the story mode.
the Strong Bad one is so accurate that I was wondering what the heck kind of homestarrunner.com-related thing was going on in the world of Nintendo for a moment.
I have a Mii called Hairy Biker that I’ve had on the Wii since about 2008 who looks like this guy. I want him in Miitopia with those RTX On graphics.
Oh man, I had to dig out my 3DS to find him ported over. He’s still a looker. Although my phone camera really doesn’t like the 3DS screen.
Not sure what the bottom one is, but it looks like Mr. Clean merged DNA with the construction foreman from Breath of the Wild that says, "Remember that time you dazzled me? Well it's dazzling time again!"
Awesome, reminds me of the Modnation racers creations
@nessisonett "oooh thats lovely, that is! Bangers and mash!"
❗This was my favourite Game on the 3DS so OF COURSE I'm going to get this.
It’s like Mii Maker Plus and the kiddos will love it! I think this and Poke Snap will be all the games they need for this year. 😁
Now to try out the demo, and see if I can import all the old Miis we made on the Wii U.
Sure, I can make a dude that looks like Stongbad, but there are not enough characters that I can name it fhqwhgadshgnsdhjsdbhksdabkfabkveybvf so what's even the point??
This is why we need the Miis to come back! I am so hyped for this game!
(#MiiMask4ACNH)
Oh cool, I so need to buy this one!!
Sad thing that the Mii Central from the original seems to be replaced by the access keys.
...Wait...what? If you can do this much with Miis now, then...MAYBE I'll check Miitopia out. Still wanting Tomodachi Life more, though.
oh cool new creation tools
scrolls down
WHAT THE HELL
Okay, so I wasn't even considering getting Miitopia, but this, this may change my mind. It is still $50 though...
"Oh... that mii is lookin' pretty good...."
@Dijita Im appreciating it very much, had one of my emails answered by him when i was yougner!
ok but how do they look in motion
My God. Playing the demo and I just can't believe the creativity of some people. The Miis I've downloaded are amazing. I was on the fence earlier but this game is legitimately charming, picking it up day one now.
I know it's probably due to my being a portrait artist but I've always found Miis to be fugly as hell.
Yeah, this Mii Maker feature could really blow up online as it is incredibly versatile.
The memes will run aplenty.
Gasp! Strong Bad! My man! My main man!!
But can you make the fhqwhgads?
the advanced makeup is genuinely making me considering rebuying this 3ds game at $50. i love how advanced mii creating has gotten since tomodachi life and i could see myself making miis here for hours. i hope these tools carry on in the future mii titles
The game we need but don't deserve.
I'm already really excited about this game after playing the demo to be honest, even though I played it a bit on the 3DS and still have a copy around here somewhere.
I can't wait to see how much better it gets after Microsoft relaunches the Mii-verse, which is probably the whole reason this obscure game that rated poorly and didn't sell well is being remastered, when you think about it. The likely spent all the money on the Mii creation tools for that project, and this is way to basically beta test and make some money without having to revel that partnership yet.
I wish these new Mii design features were available on a system level and not just to Miitopia, custom Mii fighters in Smash could then really go to the next level.
You want it? It's yours my friend!
I want to see more creations! This is the biggest selling point of the game.
Now I want Strongbad in Smash Bros.
Lol, I thought the Morshu Mii originally was Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
As much as I love this game, still not double dipping...
There should be some kind of website or app where you could upload or download Miis from/to your Switch. If only Nintendo had ever developed that kind of thing in the past...
Mii's are making a comeback maybe, Now we just need TL on the switch and I will be set. I also only played the demo back on the 3ds but now that I saw this I have to. I also wasn't going to play the demo, but saw this and well, I went to town on my mii lol.
I will click on anything with Strong Bad. And now I have to download this demo.
I was on the fence about this game. I loved Tomodachi Life, but felt it didn't really have much to do in it. I almost got Miitopia on 3DS but skipped it.
Played through the demo on Switch, and holy crap this game is my jam, silly enough to keep me entertained and enough stuff to keep me playing. 100% getting this.
I made a team of all of "my" dogs, and it's really funny how accurate it sometimes gets. Not just their looks, but their behaviour. Their interactions, showing off, jealousy, Wodan's "chaotic" actions (he's a cook), Lente's stubbornness (a priest, she heals me in real life as well), Pili's loudness as a popstar...
And then, while running, my Mii suddenly says something like "I miss my dog" or "I wish I had a dog", while running with all three of them and a cute demonic horse.
Holy cow, the Miitopia miis look really good!
The Miitopia Mii has to make an update on the switch, please don't have the creation tools be left behind like Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers.
@sketchturner Specifically the Strong Bad where one of his hands is a bucket and the other is a bullhorn.
I suppose I can't transfer these to Tomodachi Life can I. Oh well, hope for a sequel.
I already had the remake preordered but the fact that the customization is THIS in-depth makes it that much more worth the price of admission. I'm so happy this game got a second chance; now it needs to be Tomodachi Life's turn with these new features!
@EarthboundBenjy I initially thought that was clickbait and the real one would be a pale imitation. I almost can't believe it's real! What the heck kind of tools are at one's disposal with this editor?! Hah.
Does the extra features mean we can now add veins to the D**k faced Mii's and enhance our other NSFW creations.
I may end up buying this game. Just seems to be a nice niche game or a gem.
@Mr-Fuggles777 I wish you complete contentment in your vulgar video game art, Mr. Fuggles.
What I want to know is: can we eliminate the necks and bodies on these Mii figures? I want to appear as a furball, not a human with a furry head.
Mr clean with Karen hair scares me

@Pacmanrace It takes one to know one.
Old? Really? It's not old. Mario 64 is old. A game that came out like 6 years ago isn't old.
