One of the best things about Wii is creating Miis - cute little caricatures you create to use as characters in a variety of Wii software. Store Miis on your Wii or load them onto your Wii Remote and take them over to a friend’s house to use on their Wii. Why not get everyone in the family to create a Mii for their own Wii Remote? Find out more at the Mii Channel.
