Recent reports out of Japan confirm that Nintendo is teaming up with other companies, such as Communications giant, NTT, to develop and research Speech Recognition technology.
The stated purpose is to help disabled children to take notes in class by having their DS do it automatically for them, but one must question: What other uses for this technology does Nintendo have in store?
FuRyu revealed on Friday its Exstetra fantasy role-playing game is getting an HD remaster that will launch this summer on Steam.
FuRuy has opened a Twitter account called “Project Alice” teasing a new game announcement on April 25 at 20:30 JST.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
Good for disabled children but not as a feature. I doubt they could improve upon siri and even that is slloooowww. Its quicker to just do/type it yourself. And they wonder why they are haemorrhaging money.
Nintendo says...
Tomodachi Collection uses voice recognition a lot(which is why it wasn't localised) and was a multimillion selling game in Japan. Nintendo can definitely afford to splash out on voice recognition.
I'm sure kids would love to be able to call out their attacks in Pokemon. I'd never use it, but if I was still a kid, I'd love that shit.
