There&#8217;s clearly a lot more options than I even really bothered with such as layering some of the items to make your own things or playing around with colors more&#8211; I would say Make-up easily has more to work with than wigs though. The wig choice is&#8230; okay? I like how much more fluid they seem, but for one, most of the hairstyles are longer ones so if you wanted to use them with shorter haired characters, there&#8217;s <i>very<\/i> few options. Bang choices also felt only okay.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/Random\/Miitopia\/switch3.png\" border=\"0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/Random\/Miitopia\/switch3.png\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Despite that, I ended up just using a ponytail very similar to my Mii&#8217;s usual one as the longer one felt too high, but my biggest disappointment was that once again, the wavy\/ringlet-y\/curly hairstyles were restricted to pigtails&#8230; It&#8217;s really not that hard to make a ponytail version when you literally have it as pigtails. I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;m surprised because it&#8217;s definitely a common issue in a lot of games&#8211; especially those made in Japan, but it&#8217;ll never not be super disheartening for me. <\/p>\n<p>For the most part, there aren&#8217;t THAT many changes between the Switch and 3DS versions between demos. There&#8217;s better graphics, but otherwise, the only big differences I noticed besides entirely new systems (Hair, Make-up, and the Horse) were some new cutscenes and the Outings system.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/Random\/Miitopia\/switch5.png\" border=\"0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/Random\/Miitopia\/switch5.png\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I genuinely do find Outings really cute, but I do have one concern with them and that&#8217;s lessening the chances for money. When I first heard about them, I thought they were just changing the other trips we could get, but those are actually still here too and still just a&#8230; silhouette cruise to an island so if you want cutscenes, you should go for outings.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/Random\/Miitopia\/switch14.png\" border=\"0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/Random\/Miitopia\/switch14.png\" width=\"225\" height=\"127\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/Random\/Miitopia\/switch17.png\" border=\"0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/Random\/Miitopia\/switch17.png\" width=\"225\" height=\"127\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/Random\/Miitopia\/switch22.png\" border=\"0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/Random\/Miitopia\/switch22.png\" width=\"225\" height=\"127\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This little luncheon scene was also new which I guess is like&#8230; the lobby of the hotel?

Experience earning is just as slow, the food stat boosts are tiring, you only have control of your character still (so everyone else in your party does your own thing), and less money opportunities also makes it harder to gear up. <\/p>\n<p>I heard there is additional endgame content, but mostly in the sense of harder battles which, at least for me, just means even more grinding. For me, Miitopia&#8217;s highlights lie in the silliness of it all&#8211; the crazy plot, watching your Miis&#8217; silly antics, seeing what kind of crazy scenarios happen next, etc., but the combat is just kind of okay and without any kind of way to get through that easier on my second time through, the rest of it just can&#8217;t carry the main gameplay mechanic to make it enough of a replay for me. <\/p>\n<p>But maybe there will be some better options added in&#8211; at the very least, I&#8217;ll likely keep an eye on it.
