Mii characters on Nintendo consoles have long been a source of creativity, chaos, and sometimes, surprisingly heartfelt moments. One of the strangest trends to emerge from Mii culture is the concept of using these quirky avatars for wedding proposals. While popping the question through a custom video game character might seem bizarre, it has actually worked on multiple occasions. Here are some of the weirdest Mii proposals that resulted in successful engagements.
1. The Tomodachi Life Proposal That Predicted the Future
Tomodachi Life, a life-simulation game where Miis interact in unexpected ways, has inadvertently played matchmaker for several couples. One notable instance involved a player whose in-game Mii proposed to his girlfriend’s Mii without his input. Amused and inspired, the player took it as a sign and recreated the proposal in real life, leading to a joyful “yes.”
2. The Miiverse Proposal That Went Viral
Before the shutdown of Miiverse, Nintendo’s social networking platform, one gamer crafted a meticulous proposal using Miiverse drawings. Each post revealed a different part of their relationship, with the final image spelling out “Will you marry me?” alongside their Miis holding virtual wedding rings. The post exploded in popularity, drawing thousands of comments before the lucky recipient said yes.
3. The Mii Parade Flash Mob Proposal
Using the Wii’s Mii Parade feature, one creative fiancé gathered dozens of customized Miis representing friends, family, and favorite pop culture figures. When his girlfriend booted up the game, she was greeted by a Mii version of herself surrounded by all these familiar faces—each with a speech bubble spelling out the proposal. The effort paid off, and she accepted with a mix of laughter and tears.
4. The Animal Crossing Wedding Simulation
Although not strictly a Mii proposal, Animal Crossing allows for Mii-style characters to be integrated into the game. One determined player spent weeks crafting an in-game wedding chapel and invited his partner’s character to a “special event.” When she arrived, her avatar walked down the aisle to see a ring waiting for her—along with a real-life one in her boyfriend’s hand. She said yes, making it one of the cutest virtual-to-real proposals ever.
5. The Wii Sports Championship Bet Proposal
A couple who had spent years competing in Wii Sports Resort had a long-standing bet: whoever won 10 matches in a row could make any request of the other. The boyfriend seized his chance, revealing a pre-prepared Mii proposal message after winning his tenth game. Stunned by the clever trick, his girlfriend laughed and agreed, making their rivalry even more legendary.
6. The Mii QR Code Hunt
A tech-savvy gamer designed a scavenger hunt using Mii QR codes, hiding them around their city. Each code led to a different location tied to their relationship, and the final one revealed a custom Mii holding a speech bubble that asked the big question. The personalized adventure ended with a real-life proposal that was just as unique as the game itself.
7. The Smash Bros. Battle of Love
Super Smash Bros. allows players to use Mii Fighters in battle, so one gamer crafted a special match for his proposal. Using custom Miis, he designed a stage where the final message, “Will You Marry Me?” appeared as platforms. After “winning” the match, his girlfriend found the message and joyfully accepted.
8. The StreetPass Engagement Plan
On the Nintendo 3DS, StreetPass allowed players to exchange Mii data when passing nearby. One dedicated fiancé carried his 3DS everywhere, ensuring that whenever his girlfriend passed by, she’d get new messages from his Mii, hinting at a surprise. After weeks of buildup, the final message appeared: “Marry me?” She excitedly said yes, proving StreetPass wasn’t just for collecting puzzle pieces.
9. The Custom Mii Proposal Video
Some gamers take customization to the next level. One ambitious creator used Mii Maker and video editing tools to create an animated short featuring their Miis going on a romantic journey, ending in a heartfelt proposal. The attention to detail and effort behind the video made it impossible to refuse.
10. The Mii Music Game Proposal
Using the Wii Music game, one gamer composed a custom song with lyrics that spelled out his proposal. He invited his partner to a casual “music session,” where she unexpectedly heard a chorus of Miis singing, “Will you marry me?” The surprise factor, combined with the effort involved, led to an immediate yes.
Nintendo’s Mii characters have been the unexpected stars of many creative and weird marriage proposals. While unconventional, these quirky digital engagements prove that love, much like gaming, is best when it’s a little bit fun, a little bit weird, and totally unexpected.
