Nintendo Wii News | Built-in Camera, Improved Hardware and More!

DigitalBattle.com are reporting that an upcoming issue of gaming magazine Game Informer has been leaked, it allegedly contains some very interesting details about the Wii.

As previously speculated the console will include a built in camera allowing users to take pictures of themselves and scan them onto characters within the game. This technology was shown by Nintendo many years ago using the Game Boy Camera peripheral, could it really be making a comeback?

For those that are worried about the Wii being underpowered thus not allowing for an intense gaming experience similar to those provided by the XBOX 360 can rest easy if these reports are true. The Wii will feature a specific physics processor complete with 32mb of dedicated ram!

As if that weren't enough a headset will also be available (or may even be included with the console itself) putting fears of a poor online system somewhat to fear. Whilst Nintendo have revealed they will be sticking to the online system present with the DS, a headset reeks of XBOX live which is surely good news for broadband fans.

Finally the article states that Nintendo will release official SD memory cards that range from 2Gb up to 7Gb, however there is no final price as of yet.

Keep it locked to Cubed3 for more details soon...

I won't get my hopes, but I really hope this is true. Anyone have an idea when the next issue of Game Informer will be out?

No it wasn't. There was a Mario Paint spin-off 3D modelling tool on the 64DD, and a dropped Perfect Dark feature that allowed you to use the GameBoy camera to put your mum's face on guards.

at the moment this has no more credibility than that other article, but if the mag does break the news all that unbeleivable shite in that article suddenly becomes believable shite.
