Can a Mii be transferred to the Switch from another Nintendo console

nintendo-switch

Miis are not as prominent on the Switch as in other Nintendo consoles, but they can still be created and also transferred to Amiibos.

Is it possible to transfer a Mii from a Wii, Wii U or 3DS to the Switch?

Best Answer

Yes, but only if you have an Amiibo to transfer it (which it sounds like you already figured out).

Nintendo answered some questions Kotaku had. This was in one of the responses.

You can send/receive Mii characters through local wireless communication between Nintendo Switch systems, or use an amiibo figure to transfer Mii Characters from Wii U and Nintendo 3DS systems.

Having said that, it sounds like this is a uni-directional transfer as Switch Miis have some new properties that previous Miis did not have.
