Just as crazy as I expected<\/h2>

When I was younger and played through the SNES Final Fantasy<\/em> games, I would always change the name of characters when I could to fulfill my childhood fantasy going on a grand quest with my heroes, like Phil from Rugrats<\/em>, Bill Nye from Bill Nye the Science Guy<\/em>, and Carlton from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air<\/em>.<\/p>

I was a weird child.<\/p>

Anyway, I eventually reached an age where I would keep all the names the same, partially because none of these characters looked like the people I was pretending they were, but mostly because I thought the practice was childish. It really wasn’t until the advent of the Miis and release of Tomodachi Life<\/a><\/em> that I rediscovered my love of doing this. That game is filled with all of the famous people I admire and Zendaya for some reason. Hopefully next year, I’ll be able to take some of my friends and neighbors on a grand adventure in Miitopia<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>

Japanese gamers are just a few days away from its release and Nintendo unleashed a long trailer to drum up interest. I didn’t understand a damn thing said in its eight-minute run time, but I like what I see.<\/p>

<\/iframe><\/p>

Miitopia<\/em> looks like the game I had hoped Nintendo would have released on the Wii when Miis were at their most popular. Oh well, looking at that trailer, it appears it will be worth the wait. I mean, just look at this turkey:<\/p>

<\/p>

In case you are wondering, yes there will be amiibo support in the form of costumes.<\/p>

<\/iframe><\/p>

Miitopia <\/em>releases December 8 in Japan. A western release has not been announced, but I can’t imagine this game not coming to North America, Europe and Australia.<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":193127,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[398,1,104],"tags":[642,290,1377,1378,107],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":13,"display_name":"CJ
