Not exactly. I'm pretty sure games/gaming consoles are able to remember fights and progression in story lines. Even the DS can do this. The Wii U could most likely handle something like this very easily. 

Besides, the Wii U isn't a "relatively weak" console.


If voice recognition is so simple then why does Siri run off of a server farm?
And yes the wii u is relatively weak compared to say an i5 3770k. 

So what if Siri uses a server farm? Many things use voice recognition other than Siri. I doubt it's that hard.

*smh*
Do you have any technical knowledge of voice recognition? It is incredibly difficult. Please don't just guess at things. 

Um, this whole debate is pointless since voice recognition is not a good description of Siri, only a small part. Siri is a conversational search engine that utilizes voice recognition. All of the behind the scenes 'magic' that happens after the voice is recognized is what's hard, voice recognition has been around a long time. So no, a natural conversation as described in the 3rd post on page 1 is not possible if only processed on the Wii U (or any other inexpensive hardware), but more limited things that are still neat could be done. On the other hand, if it utilized a cloud based system similar to Siri, it could theoretically be done.

I guess I should have been saying speech recognition, as in understanding the sentence structure at the same time instead of just recognising a voice. Still, it's not a fast process.
Using a cloud system is very viable but costly. Maybe if a company made the cloud system for multiple games to use that is when it could financially become viable.
