Creating Mii characters is a fun social experience for any player, and now this popular feature from the Wii console is available on the Nintendo 3DS system with some exciting new touches.

It's easy to create a Mii character from scratch, choosing each facial feature to represent yourself, a friend, or some fanciful character. The real fun happens when you create a Mii from a photo. After choosing just a few basic settings, take a photo of yourself or a friend with the built-in camera, and let the Mii Maker application automatically generate your Mii character. Then make any final adjustments, and voila! Your Mii is ready.
