Nintendo Network Does Mobile Phone Notifications, Video Chat

Posted on Sunday, June 3 @ 15:20:55 Eastern by

In today's Pre-E3 2012 Nintendo Direct video conference, Satoru Iwata revealed that players will interact in more places than at home in front of their TVs on the Nintendo Network.

A video demonstration showed how a player could send out a comment about a game he was playing and someone from that player's friends list could get a notification on their mobile phone in a supposed Nintendo Network app. The player could also video chat with another person via the Wii U controller.

We'll be bringing more as the Nintendo Direct conference continues. Be sure to check out our E3 coverage at our tag page.

    Yup, next-gen's big focus will be socializing EVERYTHING. That's why single-players games are getting asynchronous multiplayer thrown in based on the scoring systems (Hitman: Absolution for example).

    I have a feeling we're going to see a lot more SSX style multiplayer... Maybe even with the next Mario Kart.

    Stop calling it multiplayer...they might think we're accepting it. Seriously, ghost racing is so 1999...

    Starting to sound more like superfluous crap that has nothing to do with gaming around here.
