I made a joke that Sakurai loves Iwata's hair and that's why he was telling us it's a must watch. Looks like I was close to the truth.

So wait, is video chat the only way to communicate with friends?
No text or voice chat directly with friends or in a party?
That's weird, love that I can accept video calls while playing a game though.

They don't redub videos if that's what you're asking.
No there is no US equivalent, that's probably still coming.

For a moment, I feared to see Iwata writing "sex". Seriously. :lol
Did anyone else catch the Nintendo TVii icon in the pause home menu? Definitely looks like it will also make it to other regions other than North America.
By the way, Joysound Wii was just released in North America last week, if anyone is curious about the karaoke game. The Wii U version looks absolutely killer. Personally, I'd seriously consider buying a Japanese Wii U just for this if I could scrounge up the money...

You can send messages to friend privately via Miiverse (accesible via the Home button during play).
The Home button will flash blue when someone is trying to call you during play.

Any word on voice chat while playing online (in Black Ops 2 for example)? Do I need to buy a headset, or can I use the microphone/speakers on the Gamepad?
A US equivalent is what I'm really looking for.
Edit:
Until then I guess the subbed version it is then.

just started watching. The president is doing the unboxing? Thumbs up for Iwata!

For those with an insight into Japanese culture, are there any comparable home karaoke machines with the same features as the one for Wii U?
Do you think this may turn out to be a killer app in Japan?

Lol at that Wii U chat video. Iwata starts just writing about Wii U but Reggie starts drawing a heart on the screen, pretty funny.
BTW, what game does the character with devil horns represent?

Huh? This was covered weeks ago. No voice chat via the GamePad mic if only for the most obvious reason that the noise from your hands on the controller and the game sound would totally render this unusable.
Tekken.
once again i would like to thank cheesemeister for the translations!
your are doing a very good job man thank you cheese-san!
the direct was incredible.
nintendo is in a good direction and i believe that they the potential to create something huge with miiverse

I think so too. It'll be interesting to see how Sony & MS will respond to this. Vita's activity stream was a nice try, but ended up lifeless as you can only write things to comments.
Strange that it's 8 bit. Was hoping for a secret Nintendo game lol.
Well after that ND, Wii U certainly feels next-gen to me.

Most people in Japan go to karaoke boxes when they want to sing with their friends. It's a big industry. Singing at home might not go over so well, as dwellings are tightly packed, walls are paper-thin, and the neighbors would likely be able to hear.

I figured that instance with Black Ops 2 was simply chalked up to being a launch game. That "obvious reason" is a silly one, considering the Vita and even 3DS let you do voice chat that way. Hell, it would basically be a glorifed Wii Speak. The more opitions the better I say, especially one that gives anybody the ability to voice chat out of the box instead of needing to buy an accessory to do so.
Hopefully they release a patch one day to allow it ( if it already isn't allowed).

I'm guessing that had to do with Nintendo taking as much time as possible to finalize everything (don't want to announce something that might later be cut), and I'm sure Nintendo was also worried about competitors stealing their ideas (as always).

No, but considering launch consoles require a day-one firmware update to add this stuff, I think the reason they haven't showed it up until now was because it simply wasn't finished.

Say what you want about the music, but this looks awesome. The art style is a huge step-up from NSMBW imo. I absolutely love the look of the water-ghost world.
Isn't it just one week away now?
