If you saw today's Nintendo Direct Pre-E3 event, you may have watched a very bizarre (at least to me) commercial featuring the new Wii U console:

Nintendo's bizarre Wii U zombie shooter commercial must be seen | Joystiq

If you look through the commercial - at the 47 - 49 second mark - the guy is typing on a keyboard; at the top of it are word suggestions as what occurrs on the Playbook.

Is it possible that the new Wii U console is using the same software that RIM uses for the predictive text?

I guess you didn't like the Mii Wara Wara name either?

The Wii did the same thing when typing in the Opera powered browser.. nothing new.
I believe OS 2.0 runs a version of SwiftKey whereas Wii has it's own preinstalled dictionary and predictive texts

Perhaps the new Wii console is using SwiftKey's software?

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOO much Darlaten for the link. I completely forgot about the Wii U at e3.

Yah, wii u sounds weird. It clearly doesn't flow. Maybe because English is a second language for the people who picked the name, so they didn't really notice the gaffe.

P.S. That commercial was filled with so many dou ches, including octo.
