Wii Street U Uses Google Maps to Create 'An Immersive Experience' (Video) [Slashdot]

[DP ServBot]

Nintendo says, "With Wii Street U powered by Google, you can step into Google Street View with an immersive experience that feels like you’re actually there! View a 360-degree Google Maps Street View of locations all over the world using the Wii U GamePad motion controls. Use the GamePad touch screen to type in an address or location and explore, or instantly travel to over 70 fascinating, hand-picked locations around the globe." It all looks lovely, but can't we do most of this with Android phones? And couldn't a smart developer make the Google Street View Android phone experience even more immersive, so we wouldn't all need to buy a Wii U? Nintendo, we love you, but the Wii U still looks pretty dead unless it gets some major rethinking, and this Street View app doesn't seem to be it. http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Wii+Street+U+Uses+Google+Maps+to+Creat e+'An+Immersive+Experience'+(Video)%3A+http%3A%2F% 2Fbit.ly%2F115f2lh) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F13%2F05%2F30%2F1731252%2Fwii-street-u-uses-google-maps-to-create-an-immersive-experience-video%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfaceb ook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://games.slashdot.org/story/13/05/30/1731252/wii-street-u-uses-google-maps-to-create-an-immersive-experience-video?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
