Custom Mii buttons for the social Wii player
It seems completely frivolous, but you can’t deny how cute it is. Some enterprising fellows are offering different sorts of services that’ll help you show off your Mii to the outside word. In one case, it’s not only a way to show it off, but also a way to exchange your Wii numbers with your new real-life friends for a virtual round of Wii Bowling.
It’s called Mii Buttons. Basically, someone is taking orders from people who want to have a pair of buttons with their Mii avatars on it. These one-inch Mii buttons will also carry your 16-digit Wii number, so if you wanted to trade Wii numbers with someone, you can just loosen up that button and show them your invitation.
The only thing we have issues with right now is that there’s no name behind the person making it. While the idea is cool, some additional form of public disclosure would make it seem a lot less like a scam or an attempt to amass Wii numbers (for what purpose, we’ve no clue). Still, if you’ve got US$ 3.50, some time, and don’t mind taking a chance for some new buttons to adorn your pack, then it sounds like a worthwhile trade.

Ordered two sets, never received them. Emailed them and nothing. Out $7 and one disappointed daughter.

I am hoping to pick up where this person apparently took off. I’m working out a design for my buttons that will have a similar look. Feel free to visit my website and email if you’re interested. Examples soon.
I wish I could get a hold of the previous poster, I’d love to make it right with his daughter and get her a button.
