9:46 am: Bill Trinen is showing off the “Mii” channel, which lets you create your cartoon-like avatar to represent yourself within games. To
demonstrate the flexibility of the Mii character-creation utility–which lets you pick hair styles, skin color, facial features, and so on–Trinen is creating a rather, uh, loose interpretation of Samuel L. Jackson. After finishing the Mii, he’s got it running around with pretty accurate Mii versions of Iwata and Miyamoto.
9:50 am: The second component of the Mii concept is transporting your Miis elsewhere, since they’re stored on your remote. Head to a friend’s house, play tennis with your controller, and you’ll see your Mii pop right up in the game.
