The “Mii meets Indie Rock” Mix

March 15, 2007

For those of you who are proud owners of a Nintendo Wii console, you know there’s a certain joy in creating those lovable little avatars called Miis. Recent TV Commercials have shown you can even impress your boss by making a Mii that looks like him. Needless to say, Miis have now taken off, spawning websites dedicated soley to creating and sharing your Miis.

As I was looking through Mii Plaza the other day, I found two interesting entries in the music category – Viva Voce and Inara George (both created by an “artist” by the name of Kyattsuai) and I decided to see what other Indie artists had been Mii-ified. Here’s some of my favorites complete with sample MP3.

If you have a picture of any other artists that have been Mii-ed or know of a better way to say Mii-ed (cause that doesn’t sound right) then leave it comments. If you really have alot of time on your hands, you can go to Mii Editor or CreateMii and create your own, then post them here (because Wayne Coyne and Colin Meloy are just asking for it.)
