Wii headset

[kevmaster]

Its about time! Any news on when?

No word yet but I imagine we'll hear something in time for the Holiday Season.

With MKWii recently being confirmed to have a "chat" like mode, a Wii Headset is a high possibility even more so than before. It's unspecified if this "chat" can be through voice as well (I'd assume it's text), but still, the door's open now, more than it was before I guess.

Very nice! I will definitely be buying this.

 

[knuckles_sonic8]

Scratch that. Confirmed that MKWii gets predefined text chat so no Headset yet, guys. If I had to make an educated guess, I'd say October-ish if not, then start of next year for games like ACWii.

Aaaawwww.... I wanted to have full-scale chats! Stupid Nintendo...

In the words of em101: "Nintendo... Just stuff for kids!"

 

[knuckles_sonic8]

Pssh. Well they are doing their job, after all, they did position the console as being trustworthy for parents, essentially. I for one am pleased with them, especially since it can easily get messed up with idiots posting offensive messages.

Everyone looks at this decision so critically but I for one am pleased.

Haha, Nintendo probably thought that the taunts on Brawl were "CrAzY!" haha, what if they say a naughty word!

I guess it's ok if there's an eavesdropping feature on the voice chat, but I'm glad that normal ones coming out too, some people that play a Wii are older than 11 years old.

There is no filter on comments, so swear words and rude messages all work.

Nintendo is too afraid of law suits. Nothing has happened with Sony or Microsoft, has it Ninty?!?!?!?!

I wood love voice chat, especialy for sumin liek medal of honour so you can shout at people as you shoot em

yea it will be like : hey you there ! ( he turns around ) and you shoot him with your bazooka

 

[knuckles_sonic8]

kev: They mostly want to take precautions against offensive messages and swearing, as Sous touched on.

I mean c'mon. The CMO Channel (Mii Contest Channel over there in UK) is riddled with inappropriate Mii's and although that doesn't relate directly to voice chat exactly, it makes them wonder if they're giving us "too" much freedom, which is probably why they had MKWii have pre-formatted messages you can send. Same for Dr. Mario WiiWare.

Now I just hope that we can use this for GH3 and SSBB....
