Nintendo Showcases Voice Activated Mini Game

Apparently, Nintendo held a little behind the scenes show at Leipzig. A select few were allowed to test out a little mini game put together for the show. The game involved using voice commands to control a character on the screen, and get him to go where you want. From what I have heard it sounded as if you controlled a Lakitu. The demo took place in a mushroom kingdom setting. I have also heard that the group of people involved were yelling, screaming at Lakitu telling him what to do, and were having a blast doing it. Perhaps this is some of the control we can look forward to seeing on the Revolution? I have some screens of the event, and PLEASE keep in mind these are not Revolution graphics by any means. Its obvious that Nintendo spent a lot of time focusing on the voice controls, and then slapped together a rudimentary graphics setup to go along with it. While not pretty, it got the job doen. Nevertheless, check the pics out.
