Character interaction and forming relationships between them is critical, as this unlocks lots of buffs and perks that can trigger in battle and can often save your bacon. A period of exploration ends when you find an inn where you can rest and heal, but also interact with your characters. You make your way to various quest objectives and search for missing faces by exploring pathways across the world, section by section. Miitopia doesn’t try to be serious and goes full bore into the weirdness we love Nintendo for. While the story isn’t overly original, the writing well and truly makes up for it, and I can say I honestly laughed many times while playing this game. I found heaps of amazing Miis online and I had so much fun putting some of my favourite gaming characters into the various roles within this quirky story, including Tom Nook as the starting town mayor and Ditto as the face-stealing Dark Lord. If you’re not confident in your Mii making abilities you can borrow ones from your friends, popular Miis from the 3DS version or via codes that can be shared online. The Mii maker has come a long way and there are also new options for bi-coloured wigs for even more hair options as well as really varied makeup. I know many find Miis cringy or creepy but I appreciate them for their creativity and Miitopia on Switch is no slouch in this department. The first thing that stands out is of course the customisability. Most importantly, this RPG allows you to choose and customise every character within the storyline with a particular Mii or you can use the ones provided, the choice is yours. As you progress you recruit a team to help you put an end to the Dark Lord’s mischievous thievery, and you even have a god speaking to you and helping you out based on the amount of faces you save or monsters you slay. Miitopia is set in a world where a Dark Lord steals the faces of its people and you, a hero passing by, are asked to retrieve them. Now ported to the Nintendo Switch with a few changes, can Miis still bring joy all these years later? Miitopia, which was originally released on the 3DS in 2017, is an RPG inspired by the original StreetPass games, in both its Mii-laden antics and quirky endearingness.
It was always fun seeing other people’s Miis as well as seeing how many other Nintendo gamers were out and about in my neighbourhood, particularly at conventions. One of my favourite things from my Nintendo DS/3DS years were the StreetPass games, particularly StreetPass Quest.
