Miitopia's big changes seem frontloaded once the full version releases, fans will probably spot a lot of small changes down the road. For instance, the game adds Outing Tickets, a new kind of excursions that helps Miis become better friends, get items, and even earn a little extra experience sometimes.

There's tons of other little additions and changes in Miitopia too. RELATED: Miitopia for Switch Might Mean More Mii Games Game balance doesn't seem significantly affected by the loss of the touch screen, and that's probably a good thing. Nevertheless, Nintendo has gone to great lengths to rearrange mechanics and make them work with traditional button controls instead of a stylus. That's one thing that made a Miitopia port seem unlikely. The Switch doesn't have the two screens or the touch screen functionality of a 3DS. One more thing has changed about Miitopia that's a little hard to spot initially, but fans of the 3DS version will be acutely aware of it. Players don't usually get to make Mii-like animals, so the horse is definitely a unique opportunity. On top of all that, the horse is highly customizable in the spirit of Miitopia. It even has some special interactions with each of the different jobs that a Mii can have. It can fight in battles and provide other support outside of combat. The horse provides all kinds of benefits and builds relationships with the Mii party members. Early on in Miitopia, players will find a horse following the party, and the group decides to tame and befriend it. Players on the Miitopia demo have proven that Miitopia's Mii editor is highly versatile, capable of producing really accurate renderings of characters that previous Mii makers could never dream of assembling.Īnother addition that Nintendo seems pretty proud of is the horse. Nintendo has taken the liberty of adding a wig system to spice up hairdos, and what's more, there's now a really elaborate makeup system in Miitopia. There's plenty of traditional makeup choices like mascara, eyeshadow, blush, and so on, but there's also all kinds of abstract shapes and other tools available. The Miitopia change that's getting the most attention right now is the Mii editor. RELATED: Miitopia's Wild New Mii Maker Should Become Nintendo's New Standard Here are a few of the biggest changes that set Miitopia on Switch apart from the original version on the 3DS. However, Nintendo has found lots of ways to spice up Miitopia. It only seems right that the game gets shaken up a little in its move to Switch. Similarly, the simple combat system still only lets players control the main character, and friendship is a core mechanic in the game. The core structure of casting Miis as everything from the player character to the most minor NPC remains in place and promises all kinds of hijinx. Miitopia is mostly the same as it was before. Nintendo surprised everyone when this quirky RPG's return got revealed, but based on its reception from players so far, its future is bright. That's not all that Nintendo has chosen to revive for its current console, though - there's not much time left before Miitopia releases for Switch. As for the future, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword's HD remaster for Switch promises to make a splash this summer. Super Mario 3D All-Stars made waves last year as a part of Super Mario's 35th anniversary. A fair few of the Nintendo Switch's biggest titles, past and present, are ports and remasters of some kind.
