This is just my two cents, but pause and think about what this 'new' piece of technology could do, especially if used in cojunction with word-specific patterns (as seen with Hey You Pikachu, as an example) in possible new releases for the Nintendo Wii.

It could give a closer bond between the player and the game. Imagine, for example, you're playing an RPG that suggests that you're the main character. You could say what you want your character to do (boring) or you could 'talk' to the NPCs and the like. Your tone of voice, any use of profanity or polite manners, as well as (obviously) the words themselves could effect their reactions.

Example 1.A: Shopkeeper: "Hello. Welcome to my humble store. Is there anything you'd like?"
"I'd like to buy something, *****."
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?! GET OUT OF MY STORE!"
"Whatever, *****."
"OUT!"
[You get thrown out of the store.]

1.B: Cleric: "Greetings and well met, traveller. Have you come hither for healing?"
"Please, milady."
"Before I cast the spell, I am required to inform you that this service, though I would readily so do it, is not free. It costs 10 gold coins for a single healing."
"All is well, lady cleric."
[You get healed, but...]
"I'm sorry, kind sir, but I must insist. You are... you are the first customer who has spoken ever so kindly..."
[You ended up paying only 5 gold coins.]

1.C: Enemy Soldier: "Feh. No use fighting against this one..."
"COWARD! BRING IT ON!"
"EH?! Do you have a deathwish?!"
"JUST SHUT UP AND FIGHT ME!"
[You get impaled through the head with a pike. Idiot.]


It could also allow, obviously, communication on the Wii.

2.A: [Mario Kart Wii]
"Yes! YES! I'm gonna win!"
"More like, you're gonna fall off the cliff..."
"Eh?!" [Kart knocks into a goomba and falls off a cliff.] "NOOOOOOOOO!"
"Heh... Eyes on the road there, bub."

2.B: [Pokemon whatever]
"Hmm... No, he might have a Fire type... I'll go with... Blastoise!"
*other player hears him muse out loud, so he selects Bellossum*
"Aw hell..."

2.C: [Super Smash Bros. Brawl]
"Hey. Wanna do a Zelda fight?" "Sure!" "I'm game!" "LET'S DO THIS!"
*all players enter the fight as Zelda*
o_o "Guys... I meant Legend of Zelda."
other three: "oops..."
Random guy: "I CAN SEE UP EVERYONE'S SKIRTS!"
Not random people: o_O;

LOL on 2.C.

And Medi that is a grand idea and would allow many voice related things.

The plus side: You get to communicate with whoever has it and you talk about whatever and... yeah you get the picture.

The negative side: Trust me, you will expect crap like people screaming into the mic, playing crappy music through the mic (causing an annoying static), others being disruptive and perverted...

Let's just say that if it does not go too well, it may end up like the retards on Xbox LIVE.

Still, I support this idea. At least it will be a much faster way to communicate rather than typing out messages with a Wii-mote.

Only thing they could do is a swear filter, that automatically bleeps any swear word that is spoken.

You're forgetting that Nintendo will think of this and make voice chat Friend Code only, Cody.

All I'm saying is "This better be good." In the E3 preview, the reception was perfectly clear and they say it can hear a whole room of people. Let's all hope this isn't a lie, like Brawl's WiFi...
