The Wii – One More Thing. . .

This one has been guessed at in recent days, but it looks like GAME INFORMER is confirming it:

Wii will include a built-in decent resolution camera that can be used to add your face to character models and add innovation to games. These snapshots can be tweaked as well. It is still being decided whether to allow camera to record and stream video. Mention made to have this feature be a strong feature in online play.

I’m not sure that’s anything I need — I don’t want to see my face in a video game. But for many others, it’ll be the Coolest Thing Ever. Good for Nintendo.

Update: Wired’s Game|Life blog has even better coverage of this. If you’re going to click through on one story for this, make it theirs.
