As discovered by Nintendo Wire, the Nintendo Museum will require users to make a Nintendo Account to gain entry to the facility and its activities, thus tying each guest's Mii to their ticket. This detail was found in the User Guide section of the Museum's web page, which explains how guests can assign tickets to multiple entrants in a single party. Fans are likely to remember the debut of the Mii on the Wii console, though the customizable characters are still present on the Nintendo Switch and a number of its games. Players who enjoy games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are likely familiar with their Mii, and it would seem Nintendo has not forgotten about the virtual caricatures.

Nintendo Museum Will Include Miis On Tickets

With the release of the Nintendo Wii console, players were given the opportunity to create their own customizable characters to use in many games and communal online areas. After the recent shutdown of servers for the Wii U, many were saddened by the loss of functionality for these virtual characters, though they do remain present in some modern Switch titles. They may not receive the same amount of attention as they used to, but the inclusion of Miis on the Nintendo Museum tickets has come as a welcome surprise and nostalgic detail for many Nintendo fans.

Despite never achieving true mascot status like Mario, the Miis have remained synonymous with Nintendo and its technological innovations over the years. As audiences turn their focus towards the opening of the Nintendo Museum and await news of a Nintendo Switch successor console, many are hopeful that the Miis will continue to be a part of both Nintendo's history and its future.
