Iwata, Miyamoto compare Wii U to Japan's karaoke scene
“In Japan, karaoke is very popular. It comes with a remote control, and on the larger screen it displays the information of the song that’s currently playing, and the person who’s up next is selecting the song on the screen of the remote.” - Miyamoto
“It’s very similar with how in karaoke, the information of the song that’s playing now is being displayed on the bigger screen, while someone’s choosing what to sing next in the palm of his or her hands. So including that structure, it’s critical that this environment is available to everyone from the very beginning.” - Iwata
Surely a system that’s based on a karaoke delivery method can’t be a bad thing?! Everyone enjoys a bit of karaoke every once in awhile.
