Nintendo is developing a new 3DS Pokémon game in which Pikachu can copy your facial expressions, Japanese broadcaster NHK has revealed.Snippets of in-game footage show a 3D model of Pikachu that is able to mimic your smiles, gurns and laughs, as captured by the 3DS' internal camera.Video footage of your face is translated onto a 3D model of your head, with eyes, eyebrows and mouth movements tracked. The same movements are then applied to the in-game model of Pikachu with moderately successful results.The game will be featured more fully in a TV interview with Pokémon Company president Tsunekazu Ishihara, due to be broadcast on 28th October, NHK's schedule reveals (thanks,NeoGAF).
