Wiinyt

Ifølge NintenDome, skulle der være et keyboard på vej til Wii’en. Nyheden blev, ifølge NintenDome’s kilde, NintendoRevolution.ca, “lækket” gennem en chat log, der er blevet lagt til offentlig skue på wii.com.

Furukawa: We also received a lot of request about adding a keyboard hardware. At this time, Wii is not compatible with an external keyboard because of concerns like cost issues, but I do think it would be useful for text input, and it’s definitely something to think about in the future.

Chat loggen viser også billeder af den endelige version af Internet Channel, heriblandt også videoer der viser toolbarens auto-hide funktion, den nye scroll-funktion, den nye zoom og det nye channel-udseende i channel-oversigten.

En anden ting at bemærke i loggen:

Furukawa: There was even a website that one of our customers had created, that just happened to look like one of our plans we had in the drawing boards here at Nintendo. I think this is the first time a Nintendo product has spurred this much creativity from our customers. I think this is a bi-directional relationship where we created the box, and our customers created its contents. Thinking how it could expand in the future makes me very excited.
