Once apprehended, he'll be sentenced to 2000 hours of Wii Music.

Less posty, more gamey.

They probably have a real photo of him, knowing them. Mii's are so ambiguous that they're going to have lots of people reported.

This is really silly. I bet the victim is pissed off with a sketch like this instead of an artist's impression!

Unless the victim was the one who came up with it...

Still, very silly and trivialising IMO.

I'll laugh if this actually leads to a conviction. Smilie

Awesome. How mad do the japanese get? They dont stop at putting popping candy in cady floss, they make wii business cards, and inline for their new game: Wii convict!

. Mii's are so ambiguous that they're going to have lots of people reported.

If something is created from memory, sketchs are made deliberately vague.

The idea is to only put in details the victim remembers, even if this produces an unrealistic picture, its better then adding features they dont know for sure.

Much like how old photo-fits used sets of eyes,nose's and mouths cut together.

As crazy as it seems, the vagueness of the Mii's is probably just right for this sort of job.

It may be time to holster the indignation. Most countries now use cut and paste technology rather than skilled sketch artists... However not from a video game console.
