The Nintendo 3DS will carry the Mii Maker to build your own avatar. With Mii make you can either import Mii characters you’ve already lovingly crafted on your Wii, or (and we prefer this option) you can use the camera built into the Nintendo 3DS to take a picture of yourself which will then be transformed into a Nintendo 3DS Mii. The Mii Maker works by using the camera to automatically create a Mii which you can then edit from there. To the left you’ll see the Mii avatar of Ninty boss Saturo Iwata. Your Mii is not just an avatar either: Mii will be shared via StreetPass and will let you play FaceRaisers, an AR shooting game.You can also save the Mii to an SD card as an image, and from there you can use it in the same way as any other digital photo.

Nintendo Wii’s personalised “Mii” avatars are to be transferable to the Nintendo DS handheld console. The news emerged after Nintendo sent US journalists a copy of its Nintendo DS Walk With Me: Do You Know Your Walking Routine? software (Personal Trainer: Walking in the US), the first program to support Miis.
