Nintendo Wii headset for voice chat could appear in the future

Nintendo already released a DS Headset for online voice chatAccording to Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, the Wii is clearly capable of the voice chat function during internet play. But there’s hope, as voice chat headset functionality could be added in the future with Nintendo constantly adding and tweaking features through system updates. The issue boils down to locking down the specific technologies and getting the specific peripheral to allow voice chatting.

Mr. Fils-Aime was quoted as saying: since Nintendo found this tech and peripheral on the Nintendo DS, he “wouldn’t be surprised at all” if the feature appeared on Wii. “It’s something we value and constantly look at.” — Via IGN
