The flap development..

[Nintendork]

First of all, this is a pretty big secret, Nintendo still hasn't addressed what is under the flap so pinch of salt- mainly because if this is going to get unveiled I'd imagine Nintendo would want to do it themselves.

I knew it would be something more than just SD slot.

http://nintendogossip.com/?p=249

I've never heard of NintendoGossip, neither have I found the image on the netherlands' site.. perhaps it's just a publicity stunt to get some readers for a new site- the image is kinda small so it could easily be photoshopped.

Hard to say but if it is true developments will come through today confirming or denying it.

I think there has to be something more than SD in there, a camera would make sense- close the flap and your privacy is secured.

Otherwise why not just put the SD slot on the top where the gamecube ports are? It warrants the camera being on the front of the system disrupting the clean lines, and it allows for privacy and frequent access.

I've tried to look at it from a design point of view and I wouldn't be suprised if this was legit.

edit: found it- http://www.cubeparty.nl/nieuws/item/23804/

[The fish]

I saved it and zoomed into it, and nope, I don't think it's photoshopped. I'm not a photoshop pro though, so I could be wrong...
It looks like an SD slot, and probably a camera, so it seems that leaked Game Informer (was it?) info was correct...
Which is nice.

[Jack]

It looks very odd. Most people will have the Wii on a desk, and you'd have to crouch down to be level with it. They'd be better off with an external camera like a webcam. That is, if it's real - I honestly think it's just covering USB ports and SD card sockets.

[blender]

thats not a camera, its a 3d holographic projector.

[RedShell]

I think it looks like a Photoshop job, and when you compare it to the other backstage image from E3 you can see there’s a difference:

http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/8117/wiiflap1dv.jpg

But I love the idea of a built-in camera behind the flap, makes sense for the Wii Sports caricature system too.

[blender]

a caricature is not a photo. This is definately a 3d holomatrix like on star trek

[JetSetWilly]

I too think that's photoshopped. And as pointed out above, you can't rely on the console being in a position that's conducive to using a camera there.

I'd like to see that slot used to house a 3.5 HDD. I think that would be a hardware secret in line with Perrin Kaplan's insistence to Matt Casamassina telling hardcore gamers to keep an eye-open.

How about two Wii bundles: core system $199, optional 20GB HDD $249. After all, two bundles is all the rage these days.

[conzer16]

Do remember RedShell that the E3 Wii's were just cases. Not the complete console by any means.

What is the little port below the SD slot? Is it a port at all?

[Domo Kun]

This reminds me of Lost. What's down the hatch!?

Anyway, if it turns out to be true, that's a terrible terrible place to put the camera.

[mariosmentor]

Maybe its an E reader for all those guys who bought e cards and felt ripped off. Swipe the card and hey presto Metriod prime 3!

[mcj metroid]

well face mapping is a sure thing in wii sports.Will this be how its done?

[Domo Kun]

WAIT

not nessesarly, the wii was designed to be positioned vertically, on top of that it is positioned at an angle, perfect for taking pictures i say.
It is a realistic hypothesis, and it doesnt sound completely farfetched.


Ah! You're right!

So will this be a kind of eye toy style camera?

[Charlie]

I thought it was going to be a camera... The console is slanted upwards so it's pointing towards you...

Edit - Booker beat me to it in this thread, although as with all these smart things I post, I posted it somewhere else before him :heh:

[Patch]

If it is a camera, just imagine the following scenario:

You're playing Wario Ware Smooth moves. One of the microgames starts. The screen displays 'Dance!' and you have to hold the controller while performing all kinds of crazy dance moves.

However, unbeknownst to you, the Wii camera is silently snapping away.

Two days later you're the laughing stock of the Internet as Nintendo reveal the top ten worst dancers around the world. :grin:

[phez_boy]

if this has any truth to it then it would be totally awesome! only one thing, its not really a gaming revolution is it?

[AshMat]

This would be a great feature

No it wouldnt be a revolution, but the fhc is in my opinion

[Sooj]

Yeah your right, adding a camera won't be a revolution but then, when I think about it, using a camera with games results in massive potential and I don't think the ability of using a camera with games has been fully exploited so really they can probably create a revolution with this camera but I doubt it but it will be a nice add on :D

[Emasher]

Maybe its an E reader for all those guys who bought e cards and felt ripped off. Swipe the card and hey presto Metriod prime 3!

i have an e reader i'd just like to know if small nes games are 9 "dot codes" how many card would metroid prime 3 be.

[Charlie]

No one said it would be though?

[conzer16]

if this has any truth to it then it would be totally awesome! only one thing, its not really a gaming revolution is it?


That's just people assuming it is a camera. Lets assume its a 3d Holo-graphic-matrix-projecton-type-thingy. Would it be a gaming revolution then?

No. we'll just have to wait for Nintendo to announce something.

[Jamba]

WAIT

not nessesarly, the wii was designed to be positioned vertically, on top of that it is positioned at an angle, perfect for taking pictures i say.

It is also designed to be layed flat. Look at the official press release photos from E3 2005. This is such a desperate thread, with people finding answers that jsut aren't there.

hehe it could be bloody nothing u know.I do believe there will be some sort of a camera though.How do u expect face mapping in wii sports to work?did i post that already?anyway remember miyamoto confirmed face mapping.

[Gaijin von Snikbah]

Flippity floppety flap. It looks like a DS cartridge slot, loflol!

On another note... it does look photoshopped. Thats a very small hole for a camera.

[McMad]

I'm not sure, the inside of the flap itself looks like it's at a dodgy angle.

[Jamba]

Cheers Conzer!

[Stefkov]

If nintendo want everythig all smooth it looks that way from all the pics ive seen, then why have this behind a flap, unlesss the flap aprt will actually come off, i dont know it wont keep to the thing they want by having the flap open while playing games, thats if it just swings open.
aside from that, i have nothing to say

[seamus_aran]

The first holographic drives for standard PC's are due to be released this year. $10,000. There is no way in hell anything holographic is going to be around for atleast 5 years.

ITS RAINING. Oh and thats not the camera. That is still coming in a wireless hand held form.

[Domo Kun]

ITS RAINING. Oh and thats not the camera. That is still coming in a wireless hand held form.

That's probably for the best, because you could always prop the camera up next to the console for eye-toy style functions.

And yes, thank God it's raining. The amount I sweated yesterday was disgusting.

[LazyBoy]

Not buying it, but i'll wait till Nintendo say other wise.

Oh and to those wondering how they'll get their pictures on the Wii - SD cards.

[canand]

it is a SD Card slot and why dont everybodey ask game shops about it and I got a link

http://www.nwiizone.com/nintendo-wii/nwii/sd-card-expansion-slot-on-wii/

[AeroScap]

A) the Wii on display were all dummies @ E3
B) The case was deemed an unfinished design
C) Cameras can get a heck of a lot smaller


I call camera for face mapping and SD card slot for Wii game saves

[conzer16]

Im still hoping (against hope) for that 3D holomatrix projection thingy!

That's pretty old news about GI.When is it out?

[canand]

When is what out

[wackman]

man, this is old.... and fake... IT;S A BAD PHOTOSHOP JOB, and it would be realy stupid to put a camera IN the console itself. If there would be a camera it would come seperate ofcourse... Some people are so easy to fool..

[canand]

You might be wong

[djamb3]

This can´t ever be a camera, cause the flap is done to be closed and the console to be in a desk and not pointing to you.

I don't believe the flap just has SDcards, but it won't be a camera.

[The fish]

What if the little flap isn't a flap, but the top of pull-up handle, a la wheeled suitcase...
Then everyone would by like "OMGWTFBBQ".
I reckon it is what they say it is, SD slot, USB slot (for an infra red wireless keyboard so you don't have to turn the console around), and a camera, on which it bases your face in Wii sports, and maybe also an online profile.

[wackman]

You might be wong

Nintendo could sell some sort of camera, but they would be stupid to place it in the console for the simple reason that people will place that console on different locations. There are some interesting rumors. This one is so stupid.
Just because a word says backstage, people think it's real. If you can't tell this is real, you better hope it isn't real.

Wackman, you do have a point, Nintendo might sell the camera seperately. There is no doubt a camera will be availible for the Wii, but you havent shown evidence to support your claim that the picture of the supposed camera is photoshop.

[canand]

How do you get your face on Wii Sports

[demonmike04]

How do you get your face on Wii Sports
By the camera duh...

[SpinesN]

Or import a jpeg from the SD card maybe >_>

[david.dakota]

With the sensor bay and various Wiimote configurations, I can't see that they would also release a seperate camera. IF there is a camera, it'll be under the Mysterious Flaps of Sony's Ultimate Fate.

Do I think its a camera? Nope. I think a camera would be more suited to the DS line up - and ultimately have some Wii Functionality. I think its a nice, covered little bay for our SD Card.

[Jack]

How do you get your face on Wii Sports
You don't scan your face in. You make a caricature of yourself, in a create-a-character mode. That character can then be used in certain games, like future Wii Sports titles.

[Marshmellow]

lol i never noticed the flap before lol that would be cool if there was a camera there though

[stev2604]

Couldnt nintendo just have put the sensor for the wiimote in there?

[BlueStar]

Three pages and not one joke about flaps. :nono:

If there is a camera hiding there, Phil Harrison is going to explode btw.

[blender]

According to gonintendo.com, there is a flap behind the flap.

[BlueStar]

Behind the flap is actually a picture of Baby Jesus and a piece of medicore chocolate in the shape of a snowman. It's a promo for the Wii version of Advent Children.

[phez_boy]

i think that the small black dot is a camera, or projector, or my personal favorite a detachable kaleidascope! that would deffinately make it so we see games in a whole new way!

[Fierce_LiNk]

Hahahaha. That was awesome. :)

If the rumours of a camera are to be true, then we have to be sure that there are only three possible ways it could be implemented:


It is hidden underneath the flap at the front of the Wii
It is a USB camera and attaches, by a lead, to a USB port at the back of the Wii
It is an attachment that fits into the Wii-mote (this seems really unlikely, imo)

[Migraine]

Err... Hang on a sec. Go Back and look at the 'behind the scenes' picture of the bloke opening the front flap. I know the inside looks different but... is it me or is there a small raised white circle just above the black void? I'll try do some photoshopping when I get home to illustrate this a bit more clearly... if someone hasn't already, that is.

I was thinking that myself but i wasnt sure so i just kept my trap shut!

[The fish]

Damn, the more I look at it, the more it looks like a pull up handle. :heh:

[Stefkov]

Or import a jpeg from the SD card maybe >_>
thats a good point. Why cant you take a picture of yourself on a nomal camera, and with some software nintendo release, you can preview the picture on a wii sports character. then with the sd card in a port somewhere, being recognised etc, itll ask if its ok, you can make sometweaks, and then copy i to the card.
then you load it up on the wii. much more simpler than adding a camera behind a flap. imo

[Nintenchris]

http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/8968/wiiflap1dv8ba.png

Im not sure... hmmm its so hard to tell if theres anything there

[ViPeR]

It's very doubtful that Nintendo would use real life images to put onto characters in games. Some of you might remember this feature was originally going to be included into Perfect Dark but was scrapped last minute as Rare thought it wasn't a good idea to allow people to stick faces of people they didn't like/friends onto a game character, which could be shot and killed. Imagine the public outcry from all the nancies. Also having a camera in that position would be pointless, my console wouldn't be at eye level that's for sure.

[BlueStar]

If it is a camera, and Sony (or their fanboys) start going "See! See! All that whining about Sony copying the Wiimote, and Nintendo copy Sony innovations!" will they have a point?

[Stefkov]

theycould have apont but the eye toy only trakc movement etc doesnt it, not exactly take pictures. thsi will take pictures, unless they implents some eye toy thing in it, which i dont see why with that kind of controller.
but i dont think they could go on saying nintendo copied ssony with a camera.

Actually, the Eye Toy does take pictures.

Also, Remember the GameEye that was announced for the GBA, before Sony named the Eye Toy (im guessing the'll make a "brand new" one for PS3 called the iToy). Nintendo then forgot about the GBA camera.

[wackman]

Wackman, you do have a point, Nintendo might sell the camera seperately. There is no doubt a camera will be availible for the Wii, but you havent shown evidence to support your claim that the picture of the supposed camera is photoshop.

Because it looks very different on a real photo behid "the flap". The SD card slot is much bigger and no camera like thingy (thank god). That's not to say that there won't be any more surprises. But let's hope this isn't a camera.
A projector woud be equally ridicilous. A good projector is expensive and doesn't fit in a Wi console (unless they came up with some amazing cheap laser projection technology......).

Have you read this (http://nrevolutiona.blogspot.com/2006/06/wii-battery-supply-in-feature-possible.html)? He attempts to apply logic to the "projection" theory.

He basically fuels the conspiracy theories but maybe his ramblings might have some substance in the realms of possiblity?

[Nick]

...Some of you might remember this feature was originally going to be included into Perfect Dark but was scrapped last minute as Rare thought it wasn't a good idea to allow people to stick faces of people they didn't like/friends onto a game character, which could be shot and killed....

Actually, it wasn't removed because of that, Rare was having difficulties in raising the frame rate of the game when it was applying such pictures. The whole reason why they went for the expansion pack in the first place was so the game could use the extra 4 megs of RAM in order to get the game up to speed.

After no success, they dropped the GB Camera idea and opted to continue using the expansion pack anyway.

In terms of the Wii, it'll have a camera, somehow, but I think that this isn't the way Nintendo will do it.

Okay, i give up. Sure, there will be a projector in the Wii. A projector with better quality images than a high quality tv.. And all this for just 200 dollarino's.

And the best thing is, you can play on this projector the whole day and in full light. it doesn't even have to be dark like with normal projectors (very sensitive to surrounding light sources), no, this projector is special.
The only thing you will need is a piece of perfect flat white wall that you can project on. And if you don't have a wall in the huse, don't worry, you can project 3D images in mid air. Amazing how cheap these technologies are these days.

[conzer16]

Okay, there's no need for that. I f you read and comprehended my previous post you would see that all I said was he might have a bit of credulity. I cant say whether he is right or wrong, I'm not a tech head.

Jeez!

[phez_boy]

its not that i think its 3d projection. its just i am so sure its not something we would expect like a camera or microphone. all these secrets on nintendos part would have us believe it was something bigger. some thing that will make it so we have to have this console.

[wackman]

I also think there is still something that will amaze us. I have absolutely no clue what it will be, but even if there will be no more secrets, i'd buy the Wii in a heartbeat. It seems like so much fun.

[Patch]

Truth is, no-one came anywhere near close as to guessing what the first secret was (the controller). And yet it's something that can be manufactured cheaply and to me is still a little bit futuristic.

I guess my point is: Er, anything's possible.

[DCK]

Nah, that's not entirely true. Everybody was expecting motion sensing at the time - the biggest surprise however was that the controller was a remote and it didn't use gyration to do it but something cheaper. The controller is cheap because motion sensing just isn't that hard to pull off - it's been used for years now.

When people start thinking holographic 3D in the Wii, they're asking for things that science has only begun to make. It's impossible for the Wii or even for its succesor to have that.

Cheap, producable things Nintendo could do to expand gameplay, are a camera and touch screen expansion for example. Only relatively simple things are possible for a broad audience.

[Patch]

Nah, that's not entirely true. Everybody was expecting motion sensing at the time...

Really?? OK then. In that case, since everyone's expecting a camera, it's probably a camera. :bowdown:

[mcj metroid]

[DCK]

But why would you like to have a camera, seriously?
A camera can see what's going on beyond the Wiimote and nunchuck. With EyeToy, things need to be kept simple because it could only analyze a 2D image. With the Wiimote and nunchuck however, the camera has reference points in 3D space. You could then put in real motion with your entire body without having to strap a Wiimote on them.

If Nintendo had a camera with two lenses they could actually make a 3D image of the room itself, but I think that is too complex and too expensive.

[Pestneb]

When people start thinking holographic 3D in the Wii, they're asking for things that science has only begun to make.


I saw a 3-d holographic photograph back in 1998.. ok thats only 8 years ago, but the tech being used wasn't new, even then. and look at CD's, DVD's and now blu-ray - none of those have been round for very long

[DCK]

In-air 3D like that will never be ready for production as it demands huge devices to do it. They're not made for mass production at all, unlike Blu-ray and all that which were made to be available for everyone. The only technology that'd be feasible for homes, lighting up air molecules, has only been shown a few months ago.

That's not entirely true. They could integrate it into the sensor bar since it does have to have line-of-sight with the controller and therefore your general direction.

good thinking. i doubt they will do that however. but you are always in line with the sensorbar when you're playing, so it's more logical than in the console

Why are you (indirectly) having a go at me Jamba? I was just trying to point out the actual (probable) reason why the Wii is sloped up (when it is in its stand). I know it is not because there is a camera in there, as indeed it can be laid horizontal aswell. I think you misinterpreted my post and I apologize if it was too confusing and making you think I'm an idiot.

HEY GUYS!!!
If Wii has Bluetooth, and BT can connect to 7 wireless aplications (@spelling, my eng. spelling is bad), and Wii will have four controllers max, doesn't that leave 3 spaces for other aplications (again @ spelling) to connect.
If it does, it could very possibly be camera, and still have 2 spaces left.

Welcome to the boards zora_prime :smile:

A camera will probably be connected by wire - otherwise you'd have to change batteries over and over and that's just crazy for a thing you don't take everywhere. The only thing I can imagine the left over Bluetooth space (if Nintendo hasn't got it limited to 4) to be used for is a future handheld with Bluetooth.

Aye, welcome to the boards zora_prime.

I think DCK is right (usually is:p). I can't see the camera being wireless as it would be a drain on its batteries. But, you never know with these things. I still don't see what the problem is with it connecting to the USB port by a wire. That's my bet anyway.

possibly a camera that is wirless (dosent have a cable going to the wii) but is still pluged in to power.

... What would be the point of that?

Woohoo no wires to the Wii but a big fat cable taking up a power socket... That's just silly :heh:

@DCK&Fierce_LiNk:
Thx for the welcome, sorry for offtopic, and don't worry for th, I probably won't post very often (I've been watching this forum for about 7,5 months and just registred), and also THX for reply, I guess that is logical because of the batteries.

Talk about building yourself up for a fall. This thread is full of complete nonsense.

i have no excuse im young and stupid........:bouncy:
dont beat yourself up. you're not that young...

anyway. i agree with Jamba. any camera attachment will be external. we should just wait until nintendo reveal whats under the mysterious flap, and then be disappointed. rather than go:
"OMFGZOR!!!11one!11 i beT teH sySteM iS SIDEWAYS COMPATIBLE!"
