When Nintendo launched its Wii games console last year, many were surprised at just how quickly it took off (quite literally, for many). With every Wii comes a Mii of course, but for those uninitiated in such techno-babble, a "Mii" is simply a character you create on the console to represent yourself to friends and the Nintendo community. Here's the key, though: Miis don't have to look like you. Maybe you'd like Mr. T to be your gaming face? Or is Jay Leno more your style? Why not abandon celebrities and go for someone more historic, like Einstein or Honest Abe? Browse through the thousands of creative characters who have already crowded the Mii public square in categories like cartoons, science fiction, and music. We're pretty sure you'll find something here that'll make you wave your Wiimote in the air with joy.
