Japanese WiiU - 15 Minutes Presentation in FULL HD
- Thread starter gamingeek
- Start date
I really wonder what is keeping Nintendo of America from putting up their own videos and updating their website. Giving current videos their own section again on the 3DS eShop. They're still there for anyone interested but you have to search for them by typing in Wii U. The system is launching in 9 days!!!
NoA doesn't give a flying tanooki about us.

It launches a week from Sunday, so I'd expect to see the |OT| appear then.

Wasn't Christel harassed for not being "pure" Japanese a few years ago? Good to see she's busy.
They do 15 minute ads on TV in Japan?

I was right about the Miiverse having the Families Miis show up first on WaraWara Plaza those are the accounts on the system while the others walk in from outside

The presenter is Christel Takigawa. This looks like a very rudimentary explanation video. Not much is new, though the footage of the Miiverse interface in sections 5 and 6 is worth seeing.
1. It's in HD! You connect it with an HDMI cable. The graphical quality is much better than on the Wii.
2. GamePad features! Off-screen play.
3. Browse the Internet mid-game! Open the curtain to show what you're seeing on the TV. Play streaming videos and browse for others at the same time. No need to huddle around a laptop. On-screen keyboard, touchscreen interface.
4. Wii U Chat video calls with other Wii U users! Talk to grandma. Wide field of view on the GamePad camera, so the whole family fits in the frame. No additional cost associated with video calls, only the cost of Internet service.
5. Look for game recommendations! Miiverse. WaraWara Plaza is the first thing you see, where other users comment on games they're playing. Click on a game icon to access its Miiverse community board. Text messages, hand-drawn images lined up in a feed. Follow other users. View screenshots. When looking for a game from a certain genre, other users' feedback may be helpful.
6. Empathize with others playing the same game! Write what you feel mid-game and read others' comments, as in NSMBU. Post your message! Several hours later... See lots of text and drawn responses! See a new, deeper perspective on the game your playing through the eyes of other players.
7. Turn your living room into a karaoke room with Wii U! Connect to the Internet and choose from over 90,000 songs, updated monthly. Wii U Mic, 1,890 yen. For offline users: Mic w/ Trial Disc of 10,000 songs usable for a month, 2,940 yen. Enjoy with family or practice singing in private.
It's a Super Wii, encompassing lots of new features not on the original Wii.

are they not trained to speak like this? I think I heard many Japanese lady presenters have this tone of voice when talking about a product
I do not understand what she is saying but I find it easier to catch each word, they don't seem to melt together - which I had her as the voice in my Language Learning Tapes
Think you do it via the on screen menu pause button.
Off screen play isn't a mandatory function. It's up to developers to decide whether they want to implement it in their games. Usually, from what we've seen games enable off screen play through the games on UI on the touch screen.

Christel Takigawa, born in Paris, France
now I have to hear her speak in French :3
I knew I heard that voice before I use to follow FNN streams a lot when she was on

Yeah. I thought the same thing.
I actually really like it. I like the idea of introducing a little Japanese language into the US, and in this case the sound rolls off the tongue very easily.

I like how they censored out the tennis match.
Wii isn't, which I guess is the whole point. They want to differentiate the new system from the old one.
I completely disagree!

Miiverse reminds me so much of Steam's Community and Game Hubs.

Nintendo of Japan is on a much higher level than Nintendo of America. I wish they just ran the whole company.

Someone who doesn't understand that Nintendo of Japan DOES run Nintendo of America... The problem is they control TOO MUCH not too little. If Reggie was free to persue any marketing strategy he wanted, we'd assuredly be seeing a lot more. This man was a marketing genius over at Pizza hut after all.
According to google translate WaraWara is 笑笑, and 笑 is smile or laugh ( I don't know Japanese, but Chinese uses the same character). When they said the background noise in the crowd was like WaraWara I just assumed they meant it was something like laughter.
However, if the Mii crowds sound like the words "wara wara" the naming still works. Calling something the smiling/laughter plaza is pleasant enough.
