Wii U Version's Mii Feature

I really enjoy the ability to put ourselves into games like ssb4. Maybe for Mii integration they could make it so we could use them in things such as the Challenge or Dungeon mode possibly? It could make sense for online co-op as well, so that we don't have two Miriam's running around. I am not sure how programming these would work though, or how much effort they'd want to put in just for one specific version of the game. It may be simpler integration than what we believe.

No.

Platform exclusive content is a horrible, horrible idea that causes divide in the fanbase.

Is the Vita touchscreen support a exclusive feature? How about Xbone-PC crossplay? Trophy and achievement support?
Implementation of platform specific features is not exclusive content.


Adding completely new characters with unique movesets and functionality is.
You're not asking for a Mii character to just replace the appearance of a familiar (which would be a non-issue), you're asking for a completely new familiar.

Hmm, maybe it could pull off a Shovel Knight and add something unique to every system. So for Wii it could have the Mii as skins for the playable characters. For PS it could maybe have the "Bloodborne" default Hunter skin, Xbox I am not sure about since I don't really keep up with it, and then for PC I am not sure either. If skins for characters is too much, then maybe skins for familiars.

I had a different idea for Mii integration.

I think they should use the faces from Miis on the system more subtly--Mii Easter Eggs. For example, there could be a certain enemy that has a spider-like body with a Mii head. Which Mii it has changes every time you encounter it. Another example would be to have paintings/sculptures in the background with Mii faces.

Another simple use of Mii integration I have seen in other games is using a Mii as the icon for a save file (as in Metroid Prime Trilogy on the Wii).

But more than anything, I want there to be Mii-VERSE interactions as opposed to in-game Mii use. Bloodstained really needs to have the ability to take screen shots and post questions/comments on Miiverse. Additionally, there should be some kind of in-game marker (purple wall torch, purple smoke cloud, etc--hey we all like the purple forum theme, right?) to indicate where other users have stopped to post to Miiverse. That way you can stop and read the messages in-game without launching Miiverse. (Also include the ability to turn these markers on/off. Not everyone wants to be warned of what to expect coming up in the next room.)

I don't think any of that stuff I mentioned would hurt the other platforms. Just cater to the features of the Wii U.

Well then again, Speedrunners are a minority in gaming, so really why water down a game in order to cater to them? I apologize if I come off as rude, but I wouldn't want to miss out on possible extra content if its because competitive players, or speederunners are whining about games 'being fair' Whats the point in releasing a game on multiple consoles, if its going to play exactly the same, and there is no benefit to buying any specific version?

Eh, opinions, what can ya do?

Personally I disagree with you, and lets just keep it at that.

How would you go about including Mii's in the Wii U version then? We know they are going to appear in game, just not to what extent. If not as a familiar, what would you have them do?

Mii's are essentially in-game player avatars. Every Wii, Wii U, and 3DS that is on the market has you create a 'User Mii' assigned to that console. The Wii U uses Mii's as avatars to represent multiople users on a console. Players are capable of creating multiple Mii's after their Console Representitive Mii is made, and players can use a 3DS or Wii U game pad to scan Mii QR Codes to get Mii's other people have made onto their system. When Mii's appear in a game, they are usually meant to serve as an avatar for the player to insert them selves into the game. Games like SSB4, Mario Kart, Mario Golf, Mario and Sonic Olympic Games, and various other titles.

Since the Mii's are confirmed to appear in game, given the history how Mii's are incorporated into games, its likely they will appear physically in the game to and interact with Miriam to some extent. Again, basing this off what I've seen.

Mii's cant use altnertae costumes outside of games they appear in. In the Wii/WiiU/3DS's Mii Plaza, where miis are stored on your console, they are limited ti either a shirt or dress, depending on the Mii's Gender, that is colored different colors like purple, pink, or white. So if there was a Miriam themed alternate costume for Mii's, it would have to be made available for another game, as dressing a Mii up as Miriam in Bloodstained would be ... odd ...


Again it's been said the Mii's will appear in-game them selves, so limiting them to just pictures/windows or icons would be going against what they've already claimed they would do with them, based on how Mii's have been used in games in the past.

Really The only game I can think of that included Mii Features where they were only icons was Super Smash Bros Brawl., where they were used for online player icons alongside other things such as series emblems.

Thats fine, not everyone is a fan of them.
