Nintendo Switch Sports, a spiritual successor to Wii Sports, will allow players to create and play with unique avatars. But that doesn’t mean Miis is going anywhere.
In Nintendo Switch Sports, players can create a Sports Mate, a detailed avatar that they can create and customize. But in the original Wii Sports, players could use Miis as their sports partner. Well, they still can in Nintendo Switch Sports.
In the official Nintendo Switch Sports trailer, Nintendo detailed the process of creating a Sports Mate. But for Miis fans, you can still use your custom avatar, although their head will be attached to the body in a bit more detail as you can see in the image below.
