While the Wii isn't well known for its awesome online scene (friend codes and slow connections), Nintendo is interested in improving the product. Reggie Fils-Aime said that while they have no interest in adding online multiplayer to Virtual Console titles, voice chat could be coming to the Wii all the same.
Below is the quote from the big man himself.
"In terms of voice chat... certainly our system has the capability for online voice chat, what it comes down to is finalizing the peripheral... I would not be surprised to see that capability come to this system."
What this means is that there's a capability of adding voice chat to the Wii fairly easily by way of Bluetooth headsets (which many of us have already). And if you think that he's just dork-teasing with his "would not be surprised", execs usually don't even get to that base unless they're actively in development of something. However, the chat will only be available for Wii games and not Virtual Console ones.
