Next step of talking in consoles. Video Chat...MS no longer social console king.

zootang5459d ago (Edited 5459d ago )

PS3 has had video chat since launch, free.

Shackdaddy8365459d ago (Edited 5459d ago )

I like all these miiu features. Really thinking hard if I should buy one or not...

NESpower5459d ago (Edited 5459d ago )

If this bad boy can have my friends on the controller in real time while the multiplayer game is on hdtv, then i'll be very impressed! Just a thought...

Video calls are a great addition...

@jere

I agree with 100% I don't care about all this social networking stuff on my consoles, they are for gaming.

And I really would love for Nintendo to create new and fresh IPs instead of living off of the nostalgia.

Question does anyone think the the devs at Nintendo are skilled enough to create new IPs, because all they do is just release their same franchises with different levels in them?

trounbyfire5459d ago

Really guy tables can do this already and PS3 and 360 have video chat

again welcome nintendo to the current gen

NLGSean5459d ago

Um... can the Xbox 360 and PS3 controllers do it?

trounbyfire5458d ago (Edited 5458d ago )

you got me there its not like you'll be near you tv anyway with kinect or the ps eye( up to 6 people video chat) but yeah you just owned me.

GTFOOH with that weak reply, PSv can do the same facetime with front and rear cameras yet we are not talking about it because of the beautiful OLED HD screen and rear touch, and games

wiiu controller is a tablet with a joystick its not even multitouch, get over it
@Stephen5543

its a game controller it will be near you console where you kinect or ps eye is, so yeah

Stephen55435459d ago

It's not an amazing feature by any means, but with the PS3 and 360 you have to be directly in front of where you placed the camera. Since it's on a controller for the WiiU you can just stay within wireless range of the system, and have a video call. So you can do it anywhere in your house instead of just right in front of the tv. I think that that's pretty neat.

Shok5458d ago

Actually, you can walk around your house with the WiiU controller so you can video chat 24/7.....

Pixels in the Blood: The Journey of Rob Hewson

The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.

Best 2D, Mario World, best 3D, Mario 64. Can't say there's been a bad one, although Mario World 2 wasn't a true sequel. The Mario Land games were good (not the first one) and also Wario Land. I thought after Mario 64, Mario 3D World was excellent.
