Finally, Data Design Interactive has gotten the message, and added the single feature to their Wii offerings that audiences have been clamoring for since Ninjabread Man: knockoff Mii creation. And the NuYu system looks pretty okay! It's easily one of the better things this particular company has done.
Now that they've finally added support for user-created avatars, which we're certain was the only impediment to a larger audience, have you been convinced to try out Crazy Mini Golf or to keep a closer eye on other upcoming Popcorn Arcade series games?

Considering it ranks slightly above Ninjabread Man, that's not really saying much. :p

I don't understand why more games don't just offer Mii intergration. Maybe I'm in a minority here... but it could actually make a difference in me buying a game or not. I thought about buying Carnival Games or Game Party, and if they had Mii intergration it might have been enough to push me towards buying them or other games.

Agreed. But if you ask me, Mii intergration is perfect when it comes to the more casual side of the spectrum. I'm not so sure I'd want to integrate Miis all that bad in, for instance, a Metroid game.

I agree! However since some people love Mii intergration, and some people don't seem too, I think some games should offer it as an option, -this way everyone is happy.
And yes, no Mii intergration in Metroid... or Resident Evil for that matter! Maybe they could somehow work it into the Lego games?

Why not just use Miis? That's what they're there for...

Apparently, Nintendo aren't planning to give third parties the code for Mii integration until 2009/2010. I can't remember where I heard it from, but it might answer as to why the NuYu people aren't just using Miis. So it's useful until 2010 or so.
