Well you can't get more authorative than this, Mr. Satoru Iwata, complete with white gloves, as he unveils Nintendo's great hope.
Alf The Helper: There's no optical audio support...
Elderly: What!? Alf I wish you'd stop doing that..
Alf The Helper: Just sayin, jeezh!! ....
Elderly: Wait... your telling me theres no optical sound option.... but..
Alf The Helper: There's digital output in the form of a HDMI cable, so if you've got a HDTV with HDMI output hooked up to a soundsystem with HDMI input your laughing, provided of course your TV coverts the sound properly.
But we're going to need to buy a HDMI to Optical decoder if you want to hear in 3D... less your HDTV has an optical output, though I must warn you many is the HDTV that has optical output but dosen't convert multi channel sound.... like yours mr.Elderly!!
Elderly: :( how much for a decoder...
Alf The Helper: a half decent one about $200 or €160....just hope that some third party bring out a HDMI cable with an optical inset, like ye old Xbox cable
Elderly: :( I need to sit down now....

Yikes. All that optical audio stuff has given me a headache! Wii U looks cool though!
Yeah sorry bout that, Alf's a bit intense sometimes :)
Wii U does indeed look cool, and an extra screen for gaming goodliness is sheer visual gluttony!
