Today during a conference call Nintendo’s Reggie mentioned this about voice chat on the Nintendo Wii.
Voice Chat on the Wii – It is something that Nintendo cares about. They have worked on that feature for the DS, and they put out the DS microphone. This is proof that they do enjoy the idea. When it comes to Wii, voice chat is definitely possible. There needs to be a peripheral created and finalized. Reggie said he wouldn’t be surprised if this is a feature that would come to the Wii.
Thanks GoNintendo
This would be an awesome feature in Super Smash Bros. or a multiplayer rendition of Metroid Prime, I think!
