I finally got the chance to read up on all of this news and watch some of the interviews. Color me impressed. While the messaging system is something we should've had from the start it'll still be greatly appreciated. The video recording feature is also a nice addition, especially if the uploading online info is true.
However, what I'm most excited about is the news about Mario Kart 7 supporting communities. You can bet we'll be setting one up for Pokecharms if the system is as flexible as it sounds. Can't wait to see it in action.
