When we add the U.S. and 6 major countries in Europe where we have been conducting similar surveys, the total number of people with their own Mii characters exceed 180 million.  The Mii concept that Nintendo first proposed with the launch of Wii appears to have constructed a firm base in the global society.
Of course, the existing Mii characters can be used, but we have intensified the Mii characters for Nintendo 3DS by increasing the number of components you can choose from, for example.  We have also made efforts so that Mii characters are more accessible for your communications. 

If you are shy about designing your caricatures, you can take a picture of yourself with Nintendo 3DS and use the automatic Mii-designing function to create your own Mii just by selecting the colors of your skin, eyes and hairstyle, just like the options you can see on the screen.  All you need to do is make a few adjustments to the existing components.  Even if you lack confidence in your ability to draw pictures, you can relax and enjoy.

This is from the video you have just seen. (pause)  Now that you can more easily create Mii characters by using the camera, the Mii population will hopefully further expand.

This is how you create a QR code from your Mii.  (pause)  The QR codes and Mii picture data are output to SD memory cards in commonly-used formats so that they can be used in various ways such as by pasting them on your own web page.

You are now seeing how to generate a Mii character from a QR code. (pause)  Just as you see, it’s pretty simple.  We would like to use the system to widely distribute and expand the use of Mii characters.

Here, as a result of StreetPass, an increasing number of Mii characters are gathering.  As you can see, each Mii has the icon of the software which was played on his or her Nintendo 3DS most recently.  When you select each Mii, you will know such information as how many minutes ago the StreetPass took place, how many StreetPasses that Mii has realized and what was the last software played.

So that as many people as possible can experience this unusual feeling, Nintendo will preinstall software, which is called “AR Games,”(temp; direct translation from the Japanese) that includes several games with the AR technology.  We would like everyone, not just the purchasers of Nintendo 3DS but also the people surrounding them, to enjoy experiencing this unusual feeling.

In the previous video, you have seen how Web Browser can be used during the game play.  (pause)  As you can quickly return to a game, you will find this function very handy.
