Fixed an issue that prevented game progression after trying to visit a Mii character from the Mii List at the same time that Mii character entered or exited the Ferris wheel.

Fixed an issue where the camera would zoom in too much when giving a Mii character a head rub.
Fixed an issue where occasionally some objects would not display correctly during Mii News or within the photo studio.
Fixed an issue where a Mii character could have all of the clothing items necessary to create a particular outfit, but the game didn’t respond as if the Mii character owned that outfit.
Fixed an issue where sometimes lingo taught to Mii characters wasn’t always spoken aloud fully.
Other issues were fixed to improve the gameplay experience.

Changes to local play
