Microphone accessory with Harry Potter on the Wii

potter

It appears that a site broke embargo at GDC during an IRC session, using an anonymous nickname “Raid” to leak the details of an upcoming Harry Potter game for the Wii which will use a clip-on Microphone attachment. So what’s the big deal? Spoken spellcasting with Wiimote “wand gestures” could be a killer app, not to mention lots of fun for apprenticing little magicians from the J.K. Rowling cult. Visually speaking, the source says the game is similar to Ico. That’s enough to get me excited, Seaman microphones or not.

Here’s the full log file of the chat with all the naughty details. Hopefully it will be due out before Q4 so we can actually have a Wii game this summer to look forward to.

    (http://www.digitalguilds.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1593 ) On this link they say, they heard about rumors of the microphone, and that everyone is looking for information anywhere posible. So this “Raid” faked info to the gullible people at the gonintendo chat, saying he was at the GDC keynote and that he saw this and that… it’s a joke to piss us all xD

    That chat log is fake, keep looking more deeply ;)

    P.S. Sorry for the double post. The text was deleted somehow ???

    Here in the good ol’ south we’ve recently had a mother demanding the Harry Potter books be ripped from library shelves in one metro-Atlanta county because they teach kids witchcraft. I can’t wait to see how the holy rollers react after seeing their children cast spells as well!

    “Abra Kadabra!”

    I thought I had already read about a mic-featured game somewhere weeks ago. Maybe it wasn’t this game, but I know it’s a game that’s towards the fourth quarter that supported a microphone.
