Not only will you be able to vote on other peoples Mii’s but you will also be able to compete in recreating famous celebritys and vote on which Mii looks most like the real deal.

And at the end of it all, you’ll be able to download peoples Mii’s from the service and see them pop-up in your own games.

Carry on reading for the official word.

Check Mii Out Channel (name not final): Launching in 2007, this free new channel builds on the huge phenomenon of Wii owners creating fun caricatures of themselves, their friends and celebrities. The two main components of the free channel include an area where users can post Miis they have created to let others vote on their artistic abilities, and a competition element that lets users test their skills to create the most accurate likeness of individuals or other themes suggested by Nintendo. The Check Mii Out Channel joins the lineup of cool channels on the Wii Menu, which includes the Internet Channel, the Everybody Votes Channel and the Forecast Channel, among others.
