Nintendo amplía los dev-kit de Wii

This looks like it was an interesting session with Takeshi Shimada from Nintendo discussing the handwriting and speech recognition tools used in Brain Training. He's directs 3 teams working on development tools and software libraries for Nintendo and third parties.

At the end Shimida discussed some new development tools they're working on for Wii:

Quote:
He also briefly touched on some Wii development tools in the works that will be made available to both first and third parties. He highlighted a development tool called NintendoWare, developed by Nintendo and HAL, that emulates Wii hardware on the PC so that artists can view an accurate representation of their special effects without loading their code onto a Wii development kit. He also noted that his group is working on easy-to-incorporate fur-shading middleware and predictive input (so the game can guess what you're about to do based on prior motion). NCL is also looking into the utility of text-to-speech for Wii.

Text to speech sounds interesting, I wonder if it could be used in the Wii interface and channels, so the news, weather, etc, are spoken to you?

Parece ser que Nintendo va a ampliar los dev-kit de Wii, tanto para first como third-party con estos 3 rasgos principalmente:

- Text-to-speech: Pasar de texto a habla (supongo que podrá leer en voz alta lo que aparezca en los canales, por ejemplo)
- Fur-Shading: Se presupoen shaders optimizados para 'pelos' (preparando para el Starfox... xD)
- Predictive input: Para que un juego pueda predecir cual será tu próximo movimiento, con lo que el movimiento podrían ser mucho más reales y se podría eliminar cualquier latencia.

También comenta que se incluirá un software para poder emular en PC la Wii y no tener que montar cada vez el código en un kit de la Wii.

A ver si esto se traduce en mejores juegos 3rd party de una vez!!
