Hacking Mii was Originally For DS

[[M]artin]

On the Japanese official Wii site, some interviews, similar to the ones we can understand on the english speaking Wii site have been underway. Iwata spoke to the developers of the Mii channel, and discussed how it was originally a DS concept, and some screenshots emerged detailing the transition.

Screenshots A-Go-Go!

Interesting, I´m still thinking that it fits better on the Wii

The DS had alot of extra promises that it didnt hold up on at the last minute.
Like finding other DS users that walk by you with a scan running almost constantly.
Though that would drain batteries, it sounded like a nice feature. Instead we just got some small effort to enable that Chat interface check.
Ive never been in the DS chat with more than one person, wich is about ten feet away from me anyway.

Still, woulda been cool to see Mii's on the DS.

Though they could always apply it to newer games and mess wit hthe firmware again like the WFC works.

This feature will never be used in my DS since I rarely take it out and the town I live in has no DS users.

There are other DS owners around here, but taking a game out and playing it in public isn't really something people do in the UK. Maybe on a long train journey yes, but it's very rare to see someone in a cafe or on a bus playing who isn't under the age of 10. Another reason why shop download stations would be a bit redundant over here.
