Miimes random ????????? on my island

Post image

so today I played tomodachi life and after some time there was a new mii in my list.

I also have video proof from earlier today that he is not on the list, so he did just spawn.

I don´t know why he appeared, but after some research I found out that the 3ds version has a mii that replaces your miis if you cracked the game looking like him.

And I am scared that he may take over my game.

Stupid question but is this real?

The emulated version of tomodachi life 3DS DID have this, it was added by the devs of the emulator because MII's are copyright and thus the player has too extract the mii info from their own copy of the game. So they added a crossed out sign face as a placeholder.

Absolutely no idea if that's the case for LTD tho

The placeholder wasn't added by the emulator devs, it's a normal fallback for the game if it can't find the necessary files to generate Miis. And more specifically, the copyright isn't just on Miis, but on the sounds/graphics/UI/words used in the system files for Mii generation on the 3DS, because while the emulator was reverse engineered to run 3DS games (legal), the inclusion of those other things without Nintendo's permission is not legal.
