Yesterday Nintendo revealed its brand new "Check Mii Out" channel which allows Wii owners to share and exchange their Miis with others over wi-fi. You can upload your Miis, give them initials, and give them a category that describes their "profession" i.e. exploration, gourmand, acting etc. You can also search for other Mii's, view the most popular ones, and "favorite" the ones they like.

The channel also has a contest section where users can submit Miis and have them compete in popularity contests such as "Mario without his cap on". After a certain time, 6 days for the Mario contest, people will be able to judge and vote for their favorites.

The channel also makes users create a "Mii artisan" upon submitting a Mii which is pretty much a Mii avatar that keeps track of your popularity (number of people favoriting your Miis) and your stats.

Overall the channel is a great idea that lets people finally show off their Mii. There have been websites online now for a while that let people do what this new channel lets people do, and of course it makes it much easier. I already uploaded several of my Miis...and yes I entered the Mario contest! In the end, it's just a big popularity contest.
