– Out just before Christmas
– Update adds new mini-games using the GamePad camera
– Free for existing owners
– New consumers will need to pay
– “it will probably be ‘a couple of bucks.'”
From producer Dajana Dimovska:
“Our theme for this update has been the camera and the GamePad. We explore a lot of different technologies in the GamePad such as the gyro, camera, facial detection, thumb sticks and even smile detection. The GamePad will be held used in ways we haven’t seen on Wii U yet.”
Don’t Laugh
– Two players stand next to each other with their faces in range of the GamePad’s viewfinder
– Audience will do what it can to get the players to smile or laugh
– Whoever does so loses
“What is really great is that we take pictures with the GamePad while all this is going on. So after a minigame, you get to enjoy pictures of yourself looking silly. Oh and these pictures will of course also be saved in a gallery so you can laugh at them later.”
Act Like an Animal
– One player holds the GamePad facing another player
– The player looking at the screen will see an image of an animal
– They’ll need to mime the creature while the person holding the GamePad has to guess what animal their partner is indicating
– 6 rounds of animal acting
– GamePad will capture various images
