Celebrity Miis hit Japan

Owners of a Japanese Wii can now head to the Mii Channel to be greeted by two new Miis in their plaza, sent as a gift from Nintendo.

The two Miis are of Japanese celebrities Shuzo Matsuoka, a professional tennis player, and Sanma Akashiya, a famous comedian.

Nintendo's choice of celebrity is linked their appearance in Wii advertisements, according to Kotaku.

Who knows, maybe UK owners will receive Miis of boxer Ricky Hatton and retired footballer, Ian Wright, who both appeared at HMV's UK midnight Wii launch event in London last December.

We'd prefer a Miyamoto Mii though. Oh... and maybe one on Reggie 'The Regginator' Fils-aime.
