Phantom Hourglass Chat Feature

April 14, 2007 in News comments 6

Chat features availible in Zelda the phantom hourglass according to translation of the latest issue of Famitsu magasine

I'll admit it, I'm not very good at Japanese, but there's one piece of news that I was able to dig out of the Phantom Hourglass feature in the latest issue of Famitsu... Phantom Hourglass will allow players to voice chat with each other!

So I've been only trying to learn Japanese on my own, so it takes a long time for me to translate anything decently. But from the little I know, I was able to piecemeal this together from the main text of the article. Now let's just hope I didn't screw anything up in translation!

"The Nintendo DS reaches its full potential in the latest work of the Legend of Zelda series! The game's greatest trait - the stylus control system! In this series's latest game, you use the stylus to draw the moment of the boomerang and other weapons, as well as the ship's route. Also, the game employs the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection to allow people to compete and even voice chat with each other."



People outside of Japan have been waiting a long time for the DS Chat Headset to come out, and it will first see the light in America on April 22nd along with the newest games in another classic series. The DS headset will be used to help promote Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, but it looks like Zelda fans will probably have a reason to get their hands on one of the accessories as well.

    Awesome find! The Wi-Fi for Zelda is going to be amazing. I don't know if I'll like the chat feature or not, but I'll be testing that out with Diamond and Pearl. I can't wait for this game to come out.

    Very cool, I loved the chat feature on Metroid Prime Hunters so this will be looked forward too, especially in combination with the headset.

    Is this legit? If it is, that's the most awesome news I've heard for this game and for the DS. I've wondered why voice communication was never really good. I was revolted when I found that MPH didn't have in-game chat. It only worked in the lobby.

    Seems legit, if the guys translations were accurate. Can't be totally sure though but if it's true it's a quite nice step.

    Woah, that sounds really cool! I'm getting tired of the type-chat you have to use in games like Animal Crossing: Wild World. Being able to hear voices and stuff... that would be awesome. Not sure how clear it'll come in, but it's still something. I'll add this to my list of reasons why I can't wait for the game. ^^'
