The Wii U's second screen gets most of the press regarding Nintendo's new console, but there's another interesting oddity bolted into the new machine's controller: a camera.
The camera is front-facing and, in the launch games I've played, barely used. When it is used, it's a reminder that there are lots of new possibilities available when something is standardized and included with every console. In fact, the Wii U controller's camera is the first camera that is included, by default, with every console of its type. Two generations of PlayStation cameras shipped separately with the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3, respectively. The popular Kinect sensor doesn't come with the Xbox (my best industry sources continue to maintain that the next Xbox, the one coming out late next year, will include the new Kinect).
Front-facing cameras are more common on portable devices: on phones, tablets. Sony's PlayStation Vita and Nintendo's own DSi and 3DS machines. On many of those, as with the Wii U, that camera can be used for video chat. On a Nintendo machine it's surely going to be used for gaming, too.
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
Super Mario Maker's last level has been beaten, after Trimming the Herbs was revealed to be totally bogus.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "With Tears of the Kingdom being so recent and Nintendo’s next system likely coming soon, it’s safe to say we won’t be looking at another big Zelda launch title this around and it’ll likely be years before any ruminations of the next game start to surface, but in the meantime we can always speculate. Breath of the Wild changed things for the series by multiplying its popularity manyfold, so it would seem only logical that the franchise will continue along the path Breath of the Wild started, however a look at the series’ history shows it might not be as simple as that. So, let’s take a look at what the future of this legendary series might have in store for us, blending in equal parts qualified theorizing and wishful thinking."
Yea don't forgot they going to use it to spy on you. j/k

Why bother with a P.O.S. camera? Rhetorical question.
