headsets NO

I've tried endless ocean a couple times over wifi and its simply painful because you can't tell the other person anything meaningful. Its impossible to communicate with the 16 built in phrases. I didn't understand all of IGN's complaining until now. They really need to add compatibility soon.

They have 2 ways to do it to keep it in the nintendo "family friendly" rankings

1. every headset capable game would have to include a friend code system or use the nintendo current version. Only allowing pre-aproved friends to talk on the headset.

This is how they do it with DS games that support voice chat (can only chat with friends, not random players), so I'm assuming they would do they same thing on the Wii if they do it at all.

It's not much of an issue for me but if they can make a headset for DS, why not the Wii? What everyone is saying is true, in that it would have to operate using friend codes. Also, it could be designed so that it would work with previously released online games. There could be a channel (Wii Chat would be a good name for it actually

) which could run while you were playing the game and you could talk freely at the same time. I just can't see what issue they have with stopping you talking to your friends.

LOL they should let people speak thur the Wii mote speaker so that that sound even lamer...LOL

360 headset is too bulky and uncomfortable? have you used it or even SEEN it for that matter?
keep asking for a headset and they might do add it, but it would only be for friends to friends communication. =/

Even if Nintendo released a headset, it would be very very limited. You'll most likely require friend codes to communicate.

Headsets for the 360 are fine, they're free and do the job.

@Lev:

I'd pay $40 for a full year of live. It's good to have options, eh?

I think he was referring to the 360's headset compared to the DS headset which is much smaller. I think that they are both equal when it comes to comfort.

As for Nintendo with a headset, not coming anytime soon and when it does come, it will be in Nintendo FC setup (I'm guessing).

optimis89 · 02-08-2008, 08:54 PM

man your totally wrong

Mojor Skittish · 02-08-2008, 09:01 PM

I'm geussing that nintendo or an other brand will bring it out eventualy like Datel, you will probobly need a fc in most games but games like MOH H2 you will be able to talk online to other people.

The wii menu should show when your friends are online as well.

What's your phone extension at the Nintendo office? You obviously work there and are intimately involved in their plans.
