While Mii and Wii won’t save the world, it provides a welcome break from the chores of the day. Mii makes Wii more personal, more social and more fun.

Nintendo will also let users play as their Mii in some games. But TopTechNews reports that Nintendo is expanding the concept by creating a Mii channel later this year that will allow users to chat with, rate each other’s Mii and otherwise interact. Nintendo is pushing its Mii concept forward, adding elements that will let users become immersed in interactivity – in hopes of creating a social-networking community to rival the likes of MySpace.Ī feature of Nintendo’s Wii is an avatar module, known as Mii, that lets users create their own character. Over the past few months, the Mii has spawned a fast-growing secondary market, with more than a dozen Web sites selling T-shirts, beer mugs and statuettes with Miis on them, or simply sharing Mii creations of celebrities, politicians and fictional figures like Darth Vader. Now, another feature called the Mii, which lets users create their own game characters using a selection of facial characteristics to appear on the screen, is sparking a creative frenzy. Journal wrote about one of these secondary markets last Friday:

One sure sign of Wii’s success is that it is creating cottage industries around it. Oh, and, by the way, according a very green renegade, Wii is the most energy efficient of all the gaming systems. It’s no substitute for exercise but it burns a lot more calories than its more sedentary competition. I’m a big fan because Wii changed the game–they created a system that doesn’t require pushing a zillion buttons–they made it simple and simply fun. If you do not have pads of your own, ask to borrow them from a friend or check a second-hand store or consignment shop for clean used items.I’m a big Wii fan and not just because I can occasionally beat my hard core gamer son in the boxing and tennis games. Use duct tape (attached to clothing - not skin) to help secure pads that feel loose or shift too much.If you are not used to them, practice wearing them around the house for a few hours over several days. Pads can be bulky and make it difficult or uncomfortable to move around in.X Research source Finally, tie or strap-on knee of shin guards. X Research source Next, position the shoulder pads so they are comfortable and have someone help you secure them in the front and back. X Research source If wearing one, put the athletic girdle or shapewear on first. To avoid chafing, you should wear a t-shirt and briefs under the pads. You can use old football or hockey gear, such as shoulder and chest pads, shin guards, and/or an athletic girdle. While padding is not necessary, it adds bulk and gives the impression of muscles. Put the boots on by pulling them over your shoes and pants. Secure with flat pins and machine stitch elastic to the bottom of your boot. These are the instructions for building the LEGO Star Wars Battle Figures Darth Vader that was released in 2015. Place one end of the elastic near the right seam and the opposite end next to the left seam. Cut four pieces of elastic that are the same length as the bottom of your boot.Sew the two halves together for each boot, only sewing along the sides and keeping the top and bottom open.Do this twice for each side and then cut-out your tracings. Leave a 1⁄ 2 inch (1.3 cm) of fabric along one side for a seam. Trace the pattern onto your fabric, making sure to include the width of the shoe at the toes and heels, and adding fabric as needed.X Research source Make a pattern by tracing your shoe and pants from the bottom of the sole to your knee. You can sew your own boot covers using pleather material, 1⁄ 4 inch (0.6 cm) elastic, and a sewing machine.You can also make your own "boot" covers to wear over your shoes. Large leather or pleather gloves, and/or cheap black snow boots work as well. X Research source Motorcycle gloves and boots work very well because they are big, thick, and typically black. As a result of his deformities, Darth Vader kept his body covered-up at all times, including his hands and feet.

You will need thick black gloves and boots.
