Tomodachi Collection: It looks fun! Mii Making Book Miis

Tomodachi Collection: It looks fun! Mii Making Book is physical media.

In 2009, Nintendo partnered with the National Caricature Network in Japan to promote the Japan-only game Tomodachi Collection. The result was the Tomodachi Collection: It looks fun! Mii Making Book being published sometime in 2010 (exact date needs to be confirmed). The book mainly consists of three parts. The first part contains many useful tips for recreating people's faces as Miis. The tips provided seem very useful, though they are only written in Japanese. The second part of the book contains many custom-made Miis in different in-game outfits and room interiors. The third part of the book, and arguably the longest, contains 150 Miis made in Tomodachi Collection, all based on real people, including celebrities, historical figures, sports players, and other prominent people in media around the time. Almost all the people chosen are from Japanese media, but there are a handful of Westerners as well, including historical figure Matthew Calbraith Perry and 44th president of the United States of America Barack Obama. As this was before the release of the 3DS system, and thus, before QR codes were an easy way to share Miis, this book instead displays the parts selected for the Mii along with the values to adjust the part. It appears this process was automated, as instead of instructions being formatted like they are on the Mii Library (example: "move the eyes downward by 2 presses from the default"), the instructions are the raw values in the Mii data file, and explain how to repeat this to the user. The only data not provided is unused Mii data (which is simply replaced by a dash instead of a value) and the height/build of the Mii. For the purposes of the Mii Library, the best estimate of the height and build is provided, but may not necessarily be accurate. Additionally, no names are provided, simply grouping the Miis by categories (example: "Female Singers", "Soccer Players", etc.). Thus, it's entirely possible the person represented by the Mii may be a different one listed on the Mii Library, and some Miis are still unknown as to who they're meant to represent. If you feel you have a good idea of who an unknown person may be, feel free to contact me to contribute this information.

This physical media is heavily based on the following game(s):
