In a recent retail product fair in Japan, Nintendo announced a microphone & headphone set for the DS. The peripheral is scheduled for release on September 14 for 1,200 Yen, which converts into about $10, €8 or £6. It’s designed for DS games supporting VoIP, like Metroid Prime: Hunters and the upcoming Pokemon Diamond & Pearl.
Also announced at the retail event were the DS Lite Jet Black for Japan on September 2, a Winning Eleven DS bundle on September 21, and a Crystal White limited edition Final Fantasy III DS bundle with Akihiko Yoshidaon artwork on August 24…

July 29 update: Official headset picture added, not sure if it’s stereo yet, but it sure looks spiffy.

It would be great if there was a way to run Skype on the DS, then you could use the DS as a Skype phone in your house.
theres gotta be a way in the future to do skype and nintendo ds, once cities start becoming wifi, who needs a cell?
hey is it avalible in the us yet?
Amazing. When I was a kid, I had “phones” that played music when you pressed buttons and handheld Tiger games ruled. Now kids have VoIP phones on a Nintendo DS?! Makes me wish I was born much later.
there is a skype for ds, but its homebrew
