Mii? My Mii. Unfortunately there's no way to capture a Mii directly from the Wii to a PC (although apparently you can do it with a Mac), so I snapped a photograph of it on the TV. Everyone thinks it looks a lot like me.

Emulating Mii? There's a website where you can re-create your Mii, and here are the results. The emulation is rather different from the actual Wii Mii generator, though. I suspect that whoever created the emulator was young, and was biased towards styles and looks for younger people - the idea of a full beard was apparently beyond their comprehension (or, perhaps, their technical ability). I suspect that eventually Nintendo will allow Mii captures or emailing or something - apparently they do plan to do more things with Miis. I have to say, it's mesmerising just to watch them interact in the Mii Plaza. A Sims-like game would be really cool.

you already can send your mii to other wiis. you just need to know both your own wii number and the person on the other end.

For more information check out these web pages...

Thanks for the info. I'd heard about that, but do you know if there's a way to then get your Mii into a format that would allow it to be posted on LJ? Because you can't include your Mii in an email to a non-Wii address.

If the TV card in my PC was working, I suppose I could videotape the Mii and then take a screenshot of the video. But unfortunately my TV card never worked at all.

I saw somewhere that a Mac could do it, but I'm not switching over to a Mac just to get a better image of my Mii. :D

yeah, besides video capture direct from the output of the wii, i can't think of an easy way.

The actual Mii certainly does look a lot like you.
