WII DELETED YOU

I got a Wii on my 7th birthday on November 28th, 2006 (about 9 days after the Wii was released). I still remember the moment when my dad gave me the present and then I quickly ripped it open, “Wow, a Wii! Thanks, dad!” I exclaimed in happiness. After that, I begged my dad to help set it up. When he was done, he finally helped me set up the Wii in the living room. What surprised me about the Wii is the controller, because it reminded me so much of a TV remote. After my dad set it up he left me to play. I was going to play Wii Sports but something else caught my eye, the Mii Channel. So I opened that up instead. But, when I got into the Mii Channel, There was a single Mii. I clicked on him and found that the Mii’s name was… eteled. the name eteled didn’t make sense to me until I looked really closely at the letters. Then I found out that eteled is actually delete spelt backwards.

I took a good look at eteled. He was bald, with a big smiling mouth, giant eyes, and a small nose. He was starting to creep me out, so I deleted him. Then I started to make a Mii version of me. So I clicked the button to make a new Mii and named it Kyle (my actual name). But when I got back to the Mii plaza area, eteled was back…. with the same creepy look. So I deleted him with the first chance I got. I was a little creeped out, but I decided to forget all about it and play Wii Sports. I liked Wii Sports, mainly because it was a compilation of 5 sports: Tennis, baseball, bowling, golf, and boxing. I decided to play bowling because it was my favourite sport. my Mii was in a bowling alley with other Miis and sometimes I see the Mii in the lane next to mine to throw the bowling ball. And then I saw it.

The Mii hit a strike and turned around to celebrate, but his face looked exactly like eteled’s, and I assumed it was him. so I quit Wii Sports and went back to the Mii Channel. Before I deleted eteled, a dialogue box appeared saying, “Why are you trying to delete me?” and I started to get creeped out. I spoke out loud. “Wha-wha-wha-what do you mean?” I said. I didn’t think he would hear me, but strangely, he did. “Oh, you know what I mean!” it said. “I…I just don’t want you on my Mii channel, I’m sorry.” I said, and the words changed again. “Oh really? Miis have feelings too, you know! How would you feel if I deleted you?!” it said, and that’s when I realized it: I was talking to eteled.

The dialogue box disappeared and it revealed the scariest picture I’ve ever seen. It was a picture of eteled’s face. With the same creepy features. but more gruesome. his eyes were replaced with gaping holes of blood pouring down. I was so scared that I clicked the home button and ran to my dad. He was on the phone so I waited for him to finish. “D-D-Dad, There’s something wrong with my Wii!” I said with a scared voice. I let my dad into the living room, and I turned off the home menu. and surprisingly, it looked normal. My dad said I was probably playing too much and said I should take a break. so I did. I pressed the home button again and took a 15-minute break. but when I went back to the Wii and turned off the home menu, a dialogue box appeared saying, “Goodbye, Kyle…” upon which the Mii channel automatically turned off and went back to the home menu. I tried to go back to the Mii channel but every time I did, a dialogue box appeared saying, “Wii Deleted You” and it took me back to the Wii menu. I soon realized that eteled somehow deleted me in a way that I couldn’t make any more Miis, and that meant that no matter what game I played, I always had to play as eteled. The largest change to the story was in the form of a two-part spinoff titled "Corrupted Data: Revived", exploring the backstory of The Corrupted Mii, showing him to be a man named Austin who was diagnosed as a sociopath before working at Nintendo, where he was then murdered by Henry Morris due to him being jealous of Austin climbing the ranks so fast despite Henry working at Nintendo longer then him.

After Corrupted Data: Revived, the animatic lore would continue with a bonus series called Wii Deleted You: Aftermath, with five announced episodes, but it was canceled before the release of the third episode. The first episode, titled "Christmas With The Sanders", focused on Kyle and Jonathan Sanders going to visit a grave of a fellow family member, only for it be revealed that the family member is Austin, who is related to the Sanders in the animatic's lore. The second episode, titled "Eyes Wide Shut", followed Mike Scottsville going to find his boss Todd Kennington after discovering Austin's body in the server room during the events of Corrupted Data: Revived. He would then tell Todd what he saw only for Todd to threaten him to stay quiet due to fearing that if people found out someone died right before the Wii released, Nintendo's reputation would be dramatically impacted. Mike agreed to not tell the public, but on being questioned by the police, he said that he found Henry suspicious.

The unreleased third episode, titled "Ghost Stories", would have focused on Kyle and Nathan Bernardez reuniting many years after the events of Part 2 of the original trilogy, The events would have taken place one year after Sam's story but other then that not much is known about the plot but KiwiBurd a writer of the episode said the title is a hint to what happens in it. From the small teaser image released, the untitled fourth episode is presumed to have been centered on Henry in some way. The untitled fifth episode has very little information, so nothing is known about the episode.

The Corrupted Mii's appearance as seen in the thumbnail for Sam's Story Part 5, heavily resembles a shadowy, corrupted version of a default Mii, with a wide grin similar to Eteled. Nuclear Blue explained that this was because he wasn't able to make his design an actual Mii.

In Sam's Story 6, Sam describes The Corrupted Mii as: "[A] Mii but extremely disfigured. This thing was tall, it had the head of a Mii and its eyes were giant black dots. Its jaw was hanging from its head and its teeth were so sharp to the point it just looked like lines. The rest of its body was made of metal, as if it was a robot. Its hands were like claws, and its feet were also like claws. It had wires hanging all over its body and there were sparks flying from them."

The Corrupted Mii is shown to be sadistic, twisted and malicious. He actively tortures Eteled, with his main method of torture being strapping him to an electric table, mocking and taunting him the entire time, such as by saying "my friend" while dragging him to the delete icon. He often insults Eteled whenever he gets the chance, continuing to belittle him even after Eteled's memory loss from the electric shocks. He shows no sympathy or remorse for his actions when Sam pleads for him to stop, even seeming to take immense joy in the harm he causes. He is also shown to be quite intelligent and cunning, notably with knowledge of concepts from the outside world, such as calling Eteled's torture "therapy". This is strongly implied to be referring to Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), a real but somewhat controversial form of therapy. He also tends to be very dramatic and often shows off, telling Sam during a one-on-one "Why so angry Sam? Is it because I gave Eteled some therapy?"
