Wii U Rumors

As far as I am concerned, these are just rumors.  However, I felt that since E3 is less than a week away, it would be fun to post them.

According to a source over at NeoGaf, the latest Wii U dev kits allow for the following features;

• Video Chat is available, but must be from the main menu of the system (not while playing a game).
• Voice Commands are available (similar to this rumor we heard about the 3DS maybe?)
• Facial Recognition (similar to features of the Xbox Kinect)
• Ability to suspend games, similar to 3DS.
• Ability to share achievements with friends by sending videos or screenshots with drawings on them.
• Watch a friend play online
• Multitasking (example: keep a text or video walkthrough open from the site while playing the game, swap back and forth as needed)

  

Oh, and a new game has been announced for Wii U – Jett Tailfin, an underwater racing game.  This game certainly doesn’t look that impressive from the screenshots of the mobile version, but I will reserve my judgement until I actually see it in action on the Wii U.
