Played the demo, not rating cuz it aint the full game

The "mii" variety of games are essentially my last bit of good will towards Nintendo. There's a certain innate charm of making a bunch of crude approximations of you, your friends and various pop culture characters and making them do wacky shit. Didn't pick this game up initially because it came relatively late in the 3DS life but playing the updated version is probably the most fun I've had with a first party nintendo game in a while. The new mii maker is absolutely insane with the amount of depth added letting you make complete abominations and masterpieces like never before. As an RPG, it's relatively simple, but still fun enough: There's enough interesting ideas (the powders, safe zone) that make it engaging enough, and while at first I thought no direct party control was a bad thing, it makes a game run faster that's already pretty easy. Social sim stuff is as great as ever too! Same kind of charm that something like tomodachi life had.

Overall, excited to play the full version! I dunno if I'd finish it immediately, but this def seems like a lot of fun in short bursts.

You'd best just take it in short bursts like you said. One of the issues I had with the original when I played it is that it winds up feeling way too padded and bloated in the lategame, which makes it particularly bad to binge. You've got the right idea in that sense! I really hope you have a good time with the game when it comes out
"Last bit of good will"? Did a Nintendo employee burn your house down?
