Mii
From the Nintendo Wiki, your gateway to information on everything Nintendo
Miis are customizable characters that were debuted alongside the Wii via the Mii Channel. Their name is obviously a reference to the name of the Wii and the fact that the character can reflect yourself (and of course others as well). They've since become a phenomenon and arguably the mascot of the console.
Once you've created a Mii, you're then allowed to place your character in a game of your choice and turn them into a playable character.
Miis are set to appear once more on the Nintendo DSi.The only game on nintendo ds that uses miis is Personal Trainer: Walking. It is unknown why the name has been retained, though it's assumed that they kept it because of the characters' large popularity. As of yet it is unknown exactly how the Miis will be integrated into the system's software, though so far we've seen various Nintendo employees performing a variety of activities such as singing.

The Wii series of games includes the likes of Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Fit and Wii Music. These games' main characters happen to be Miis, and they're used in nearly every mode of each game. If the mini-game doesn't suit the Mii, then they're usually seen in the background (example: In Wii Play's ping pong game, they're seen around the table cheering you on).
