Metroid will be the first game to sport the Wii headset!

mmm, sounds fishy

-There is also word that Nintendo in private sessions has big plans for the Wii headset. Talk is, that Nintendo wants to lean away from having the headset only for online capability. They are wanting to go further. Having the headset of course include a microphone for use in games is a given. But there was also talk of a late to launch release of this “gyroscopic headset” that would be supported by the sensor bar as well. To sum up the theory we were privy to. The headset would be somewhat sensitive to movement that could be translated into the game. Such as if you get up and move to the right of your television something might correspond for that in the game. Such as dodging things, looking around corners etc. It was also mentioned that it might have a unique look and non-obstructive lightweight design.

yeah, ummmm, when you turn your head with the headset, how are you going to know whats going on on the TV?!?!?!?!

There's no info on multiplayer and most interviews about the game have stated there will be no focus on multiplayer. Infact most sites list it as a 1player game so odds are it'll be 1player.

 

[Wiitime]

all i want is a headset that works great for online play for SSBB, THE Bigs, Mario strikers, Madden 08 ( if it ever has online) and what more

yeah, but since the last 2 Metroid games have had multiplayer (echoes and hunters), why would they break the trend when releasing a game on the first nintendo console that will really support internet (opera browser, mii parade, games, etc).

 

[Wiitime]

and this is why Nintendo needs to start release information. release something. tell us about a headset and what games we will be able to use it on. Come on Nintendo, release info!!

IDK, you'd think they'd talk about it if they did have plans.

EDIT: there we go, DS headset, straight from EBGames

That because the Wii uses Wi-fi and most likely the headset will be wi-fi. Duh.

Whether its real or not, Still is a cool concept.
