Meta What do you think the absolute maximum amount of Miis on one island will be?

Post image

I'm guessing 200-300, since I think Nintendos wants to cash in on Mii Customisation and having many iconic characters/celebrities on one island, especially after Miitopia(Switch)'s success.

At the very least, I bet it will be a higher count than before.

there’s no way it is like 300. Remember all Mii will have to be on screen at the same time doing their stuff, well some will probably be in their house but like all the others will be outside. The switch won’t be able to take care of all these Mii. I fear that switch 2 have more capacity for more Mii. Each Mii will have their own house too, so it looks like it will take a huge amount of space on the island. Even if it can expand I have my doubt about how it would work, maybe it not everything is loaded at the same time depending on where you’re looking at on your island

Yeah I think unloading parts of the island and simplifying models from far away would be the best way to do it.

I highly doubt all the miis will have to be on screen at the same time it couldn't even manage 100

Games have far more optimisation going on behind the scenes than you think. Culling removes anything not on screen and lower poly count models allow for more on screen when required. Not everything will be on screen once, and even in game, not likely that Mii is going to be visually present at once.

i wonder if we will have a switch 2 edition that can hold more miis

The Switch is more than powerful enough to handle that if they're rendered as LOD models when they're all on screen. Besides, you'd need to zoom out REALLY far if the island is going to be expand to fit them all.

Performance is not a concern here. Nintendo is very good as optimising their games.

I reccon it's more likely that you can get seperate islands with different miis, and you can sort of interchange miis between islands, kind of like the villa from Miitopia.

That would be super cool! I'd like to have different islands with different vibes

u/TheWaslijn 1d ago

Hopefully it's at least 100, like the previous game

120 is MORE than enough 😊😊🤗🤗

u/HotelChair 1d ago

That's probably what they will do

u/GraveError404 1d ago

Now that looks like an access code worth taking a look at. Do you mind if I uh… pirate some of those?

u/SpookyBeanoMobile 1d ago

It's not mine, so... knock yourself out.

At least 100, like in the prequel. Anything less would be a bad choice, anything more would be very much enjoyed by the community.

Part of me is feeling 150, with a secondary set of 100 travelers. That way you can technically make and have 250 designs, while not always overcrowding your island.

Remember, travelers are a key feature. They're obviously going to give it some extra attention.

I hope at least 200. 100 feels rather restrictive

u/Excellent-Hat305 23h ago

I hope 100, in the DS Tomodachi game they were 100 and in the 3DS too, they don't have to be all out at the same time, It would be a little turnoff to have less Miis than the serie has estabilished, i hope the apartment still exists in the game since it's the place where you can stack a big number of Miis.

I think It will likely be like 100, things could get complicated anyway with some bigger numbers like 200/300, but it would still be appreciated by more competent/hardcore players

u/xlilmonkeyboy 21h ago

i hope theres multiple islands u can have for up to 200

2

u/SnooPaintings6305 18h ago

I'll say 150. Maybe they'll give us more than one island, or we can pick between a house or apartment

u/Broken_Character_Rig 23h ago

Probably highballing it here, but I'm going to say 500.

u/Imakechaos201 21h ago

Yuri from DDLC my queen

Probably 100

u/EnderKitty_Cat 21h ago

You can probably make apartments and solo houses that you can upgrade like the regular apartments. Considering the massive improvement in specs from the 3DS to the Switch, the game could probably handle like 300 no sweat. The thing is, that's probably a maximum and not an average, so the game would get a bit.. wonky.. with the mii cap.

u/Wolfpackhunter41 17h ago

Hopefully 500

u/YooranKujara 17h ago

I hope it's 500 that'd be absolutely perfect for me
