I'm sure this will be fine. but I cannot for the life of me understand why they replaced Miis with some of the most generic avatars I've ever seen in any Nintendo game. I understand less why people think the characters are worth defending when it bills itself as a Wii Sports sequel. and I understand even less why they would even bother with making entirely new soulless copypasted avatars when the Miitopia Mii Maker is one of the best character creators of all time

edit: right, I can now talk about it a bit from an actual gameplay standpoint since I did play some of the demo! the online was a bit janky and the Sportsmates are much better in action than anticipated but still horrifically bland after Miitopia showed us just how great Miis can be if Nintendo put a little more juice in them. I'd just get Go Vacation or wait for a sale and there's more content overall honestly

I know you can use Miis but it does not change that Sportsmates are still used in all of the promotional material and as background characters meaning I cannot just ignore their existence ❤

I've personally always hated the Mii's, I've always thought them quite ugly 😂 so I much prefer these new avatars, but do agree they're quite generic at the minute because of limited outfits and hairstyles. Hoping they get more diverse as time goes on!
