[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"] -Video chatWhy is this a bad thing? This is the feature I'm most excited about. I don't voice chat with strangers online, but for talking to my friends while playing a game like Smash Bros. this thing will be a godsent. This feature is actually implemented to enhance the quality of games, not to make it look like PC.

-Multitasking with apps -The 3DS already does this.

-Facial recognition -The 3DS does this too.

Just seems like nothing Nintendo would do and something MS is probably doing with Kinect (which is what they pushed at E3 2010).

What, how? Where was I when this came along? Last I checked, it didn't do it.

How many games actually used the facial recognition on the 3DS? All I remember is Star Fox 64 3D's multiplayer (which still looks to be as mediocre as it did on 64) and it was rendered pointless after that.

Well if Nintendo tries to be Nintendo for the sake of being Nintendo it loses meaning. They put in features that enhance games, and voice chat is one way to do it. You can already voice chat in games like Pokemon, Diddy Kong Racing and Zelda so it's not as if Nintendo has never done this before. You can read the internet while playing games. Face Raiders counts. I'm sure Spirit Camera did as well. Anyways, the point is that the 3DS CAN do facial recognition, so I don't see why having the seam feature on the Wii U is a bad thing or how it makes it more PC like. (Can a standalone PC do facial recognition even? Not even most webcams do).

All those features sound great to me. I just hope they turn out to be true though or I would be disappointed. Thankfully E3 isn't too far off now so I won't have to wait long to find out.

Nintendo is only adding achievements and apps ebcause people incessantly demanded it. Now that they add it, people are still going to complain.

Nintendo is copying Microsoft, GOSH, they are such copycats

microsoft stole avatars from the wii....its the circle of life

sony didnt even give anyhting to MS...they just straight ripped them off.
