Daniel_Smith | July 15, 2008 | News | Wii E3 2008

Nintendo are finally going to allow players to talk to their friends over Wi-Fi via Wii Speak.

Not much information has been released about it, but expect more over the next couple of days.

Nintendo has announced WiiSpeak, a community microphone that will allow multiple people in one room to use a single microphone. The device will debut with the release of Animal Crossing for the Wii.

Maybe Nintendo a starting to 'grow up' in the online department.

I hope games such as CoD, the Conduit, GHwt and others jump on the bandwagon.

I just cant wait for Animal Crossing to come out. I really want that game. And according to this story, when we get a release date on this, we get a release date on anmal crossing. But I dont hink world tour will have it, because its not coming out till around november, and animal crossing is going to be the first game to use it.

Now if we can get some kind of update/patch so this will work with Brawl and/or Mario Kart, this will be sweet.
