Wanna know when those Americans can check Mii out? Bet you do...
The Check Mii Out Channel that got announced earlier in the year final has it's debut date in America!
In a press release, it states that the new channel can be downloaded on the evening of the 11th of November, just shortly before Mario Galaxy gets released.
In the Posting Plaza, users can submit, exchange or just browse Miis posted by others in their region or worldwide. The channel offers the ability to look at a random selection of 1,000 Miis or to see just the current or all-time favourites. Players have a variety of ways to search for specific Miis, including by the name of its creator or by a number specific to each Mii. Once users have found that "special Mii," they can even tag their favorites or import them to their own Wii systems.
The contest section of the Check Mii Out Channel challenges users to submit Mii creations to represent a specific person, character or theme. These could include historical figures (Abraham Lincoln or Vincent Van Gogh), fictional characters (the Tooth Fairy or the New Year's Baby) or descriptive themes ("the biggest bully ever" or "the overbearing boss"). Users can then vote on Miis submitted by others to determine the Mii that best fits the challenge. Each contest will generally last two weeks: one for creating and submitting Miis, and the second week for people to vote on the results.
As usual the channel will be free to download by via the shop channel. Whether Europe will get it at the same time or soon afterwards is not yet known. Stick to N-Europe for more...
