Hideki Kamiya hopes to make Miis available as a hero in “The Wonderful 102”

Hideki Kamiya reflected on the The Wonderful 101’s development on Twitter earlier today. According to the director, PlatinumGames had attempted to make it so players could bring their own Mii into the game as a hero. This is something he hopes can be done in “The Wonderful 102”, he said.
Kamiya’s tweet in full:
We tried to make it possible to join your own mii with TW100 as a hero. We hope we can do it in TW102.

When asked if players would have had the opportunity to choose which Unite Morph their Mii would have used – based on the original idea – Kamiya said:
Could be. RT @MirbyStudios: Would we have been able to choose which Unite Morph our Mii would have used?

Of course, The Wonderful 102 is not a sure-fire thing at this point. The Wonderful 101 hasn’t done particularly well at retail, though Kamiya has previously expressed interest in making a sequel.

Update (12/24/13): The Wonderful 101 is now down to $30 on Amazon
and Best Buy as well.
Target and GameStop are both selling The Wonderful 101 for $29.99 – 50% off the regular price. Ordering online isn’t an option unfortunately, though you can grab the same in-store. Amazon also has The Wonderful 101 for about $35 if you’re looking for an online option – still a great deal.
