Wii U can output different audio to the GamePad and TV
Posted on August 11, 2012 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U
According to Toki Tori 2 maker Two Tribes, the Wii U can output two different audio streams. Developers can send one sound to the television and another to the GamePad. This is somewhat similar to the Wii in that the controller’s built-in speaker can produce its own sound.
Two Tribes tweeted earlier today:
“We’ve got the first audio code running on Wii U. You can send separate audio to game pad and TV. Not sure yet if and how we can use that.”
While Two Tribes isn’t sure if they’ll be using this functionality, it’s possible that other studios will be incorporating it into their future projects.
