Kotey Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Remember the WiiSports Tennis game at the end of Nintendo's E3 press conference? The one that had those goofy renditions of Satoru Iwata, Shigeru Miyamoto and Reggie Fils-Aime? Everyone got to talking about how neat it would be if you can do that with your own face, with your own system. It just so happens that we will be doing that with the Wii, or at least with games that support it. According to Chris Kohler's Wired Games blog, the functionality to create caricatures of people's faces is built in to the Wii hardware. Profiles on the console can assign a custom face to characters in supported games (WiiSports is apparently one of them), or choose from a variety of presets. It's also interesting to hear that Nintendo is planning to use a profile system for Wii. This could possibly mean that having a centralized profile on the console would eliminate the need to deal with the different save/load structure of different games, among other things. While we've always wanted to put our face in the game, this might not be exactly what we were thinking. Creating simple caricatures will work for the graphically simple stuff, but what about realistic games like Red Steel or other first person shooters?
