During an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, MTV's Stephen Totilo threw out a speculative question: Had Nintendo experimented with using Miis in Zelda: Twilight Princess? Miyamoto answered that, in fact, the developers at EAD had in fact been playing with that feature! After completing the game, the team started experimenting with putting Miis into the Twilight Princess engine, just for fun.So, working at Nintendo is so awesome that programmers continue working on their games after they've shipped for recreational purposes. That is a shining endorsement if ever there was one.
The MTV Multiplayer site is set up so that it's impossible to link directly to the story; you'll have to scroll down or search for "Nintendo's Miyamoto On One-Handed 'Mario,' Miis In 'Zelda".

So that's why they had to push MP3 back.

they should allow that.
"Online Twilight Princess Update:
Replay Zelda with your Mii of Choice!"
i'd replay Zelda just for laughs with my own mii.
it'd also be a nice treat for people who are just getting thier hands on Twilight Princess.

Has anyone else found this system glitch?
When I have a Gamecube Controller plugged into the Wii I can't connect to my wireless internet.
I discovered this because I couldn't connect to the internet and then a friend told me he had that problem if his GC controller was plugged in, but it worked fine as soon as he unplugged it.
I unplugged the GC controller and now the internet works fine.

i think people who make crappy web sites should be shot in the face because it is so easy to make a decent web site

Hearing this, and the unreleased Kirby game, makes me want a "Developer Channel". Just a channel where they put up patches for things the devs have toyed around with like this, unreleased games, betas of games in progress (but not production quality yet), etc. They wouldn't have a problem going all the way back with it, with the VC's emulators and whatnot.
Hell, I'd gladly pay for the privilege.
