I can't believe someone has not photoshopped Reggie in there yet.

You people bitch about the wonky camera in Mario Sunshine, then they go through great lengths to improve it for the sequel and this is the thanks they get for it???

Definitely a Google maps thing.
yeah I think everyone knows this but it is just funny it took Iwata for them to see this tech as funny
Yep, which is essentially just Google Maps for WiiU. I thought we already knew this was coming a long time ago. But apparently not? An Iwata asks on this seems weird to me. But I suppose it doesn't hurt or anything.

I hope so, it would mean the US gets this soon too maybe the same day since this is powered by Google
I want to try this, might lose many hours exploring the world
edit: on second thought this is old news and doubt Rich would hype this up

Poor wife. Explain to her nao!
[edit] why is that Gabe picture so funny in context of double Iwata? I'm ashamed of myself for laughing so damn much at that. haha

Nintendo's last bomb. Iwata's going out in a blaze of glory.

You know what'd be cool? If they'd hide Mario, Luigi, Samus, etc., in different spots in the world. Or better yet: a chest (Zelda). They could hide one a month, and the winner could get a bit of credit for the eShop.
He wore this one for the 3DS version
Gaben-chan? *BEATEN*

So it's just Google Street View for the Wii U? Is there anything "special" about it? I can already do what the video shows on my phone. I mean, it's still cool that it's coming to the Wii U, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything every Android phone doesn't already do.
And you guys know the camera thing isn't Nintendo's, right? It's Google's "Trekker", which they use when taking Street View photos in places where only walking is possible.

That camo works really well.
Seriously... wtf with the camo? Jesus.
They probably found it fun. :\
I personally am excited for it.
Also, I love space Iwata

They probably spotted something about "Apple" and "Maps" in the news recently and thought they had to do something about it.

yes everyone knows this is google tech. The Japanese Google guy is sitting down with Iwata to answer questions.
the Gamepad being able to move around the Street View and Navigating are the only differences I see. Except maybe some Nintendo Exclusive stuff like Nintendo HQ tours or something

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
It's bizarre, but when I first showed off my Wii U to a friend, their very first comment was "Can you get Google Earth on it?"

This is a fantastic idea. I would actually buy this app to explore for this stuff.
