Extra Life Mushroom said:Well it looks more and more to me like we will have to wait for the next generation of consoles to rear their heads before nintendo gets the idea of voice chat approved across the boards.
Although I'm sure it will be limited to only be used with registered friends and probably will be dubbed over t sound robotic just for extra safety measures.
I mean hell in the eyes of nintendo there isn't a gamer with an IQ over that of a 5 year old so obviously we're incapable of being trusted with voice chat unless it comes equipped with fire retardant, childproof safety locks.
If not for my love of classic games I would've scrapped my wii for a 360 by now. :sick:

Now imagine grandma getting online to play some Mario Kart and some teenage kid starts swearing at her because she wont get outta the way. Well now she doesn't want to touch the Wii ever again. Now Nintendo starts to loose this large crowd of casual gamers that simply want to have fun. Not devote there life to playing games.
It's a buisness decision people, and based on the large varried audience on the Wii, it's a smart move because we all know how other online chat works. Get over it already they have annouced Voice chat is on the way. Will it be censored and protected "obviously" probably why its taking so long in the first place. They have to please a very large audience all at once, not just the "hardcore".
If you bought the Wii for these type of online features your pretty naive and probably should have researched all the consoles first. There was never a guarantee we would even get this type of feature in the first place.
