Vidyo, the company powering the Wii U’s chat application, appears to be working on new functionality for the console. An official PDF document from Vidyo suggests that “multi-party conferencing” and communication between a Wii U and a mobile device could be on the way. There’s also a mysterious mention of something labeled as “video-powered game experiences”.

Along with the hinted additions mentioned above, Nintendo has previously teased plans to improve Wii U Chat in other ways. For instance, in an Iwata Asks discussion, Satoru Iwata suggested that it may eventually be possible to chat with other system users without having to turn off a game.

Surprised they don't mention the 3DS, but this is more or less in line to what I was expecting, the multi-party is just a bonus. What do you think "video-powered game experiences" means? Online video feed for future online MPs or video chat while playing?

Me neither, although I had a french account constantly trying to engache on a conference last month...

Online MP versions of NintendoLand and StarFox came to mind as well.

Cool feature, but I won't use it.

I thought this has been known since last E3 when MiiVerse was first showcased?

Nintendo always said it would roll out to the internet and mobile platforms during the first year. I think its pretty cool as I like MiiVerse and can't wait to see how its implemented on the more open PC/Phone/Tablet platforms.

Cool new feature on a great and improving system. Only problem is there is no one to talk to yet...
