Overview
- A photo of a Japanese magazine advertisement published by gaming outlets shows a playable Mii beside the series’ Sportsmate avatar with noticeably long arms and legs, and that image is the first public look at the Mii body type for the new game.
- Nintendo has confirmed Miis will be playable in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, which is being released for Nintendo Switch 2 and will return the series to the Wii-era location Wuhu Island and include 12 sports.
- Fans on social platforms reacted quickly to the advert image, with users on Reddit mocking the stretched proportions and sharing screenshots and comments about the visual change.
- The Mii reveal came through a third-party advertisement rather than an official Nintendo statement, and there has been no detailed clarification from Nintendo about the new Mii proportions.
- The return of Miis follows criticism that the prior Switch Sports lacked playable Miis, and the new design could influence player expectations for character customization and early reception before the game’s October 22, 2026 release.
