Apparently the very hyped Wii Speak not so great a thing... You can install it with a serial code ONCE and never again. You can't take it to friends house, use it on another Wii, or sell it.

it really makes the wii look stupid, i mean, (since head phones are microphones backwards (a little fun fact)) i can plug head phones into the input of my computer, and receive audio just like a microphone. nothing fancy, just plain headphones. the wii is going to require download codes, a whole new channel, AND the the peripheral it self has a box in the middle of the cable, telling us that the wii can NOT take a simple audio input? thats ridicules. even the psp is more advanced than the wii in terms of audio input!!

Nintendo keeps making me more and more angry. First of all, when i got my wii, it would not take my wifi. I have 2 wifi hotspots in my house, and even though my DS could take both from the same point as the wii, my wii could not take either. So i had to buy a cord, to hook up the wii with a wired connection, something i could do without buying the cord on my play station 2

Then there is that whole motion plus business. Selling us something that should have been there in the first place seems like rip off to me.

Then there is the fact that nintendo seems to take it upon themselves to make sure that everything is kid friendly, so we might be getting a voice filter for our online games, if voice ever happens anywhere other than the animal game and the conduit

Super smash was such a disappointment it was a mediocre game all around, it was fun for almost a week, i liked melee 10 times better (and still play it)

If i buy this wii speak, (a personal mic would be way better and simpler) this this will be the 5th cable running out of my wii, and getting in the way.

well, i have said what i willl say.

What's the deal with the lack of Super Smash 64 on the wii shop channel. No, instead we get stuff like SnowBoard 180!

What if you buy a Wii Speak and your Wii breaks and you have to get a new one? Then you have to go out and buy a new Wii Speak. Or maybe you try the Wii speak and it doesn't work a well as you hoped, well you can't sell it.

I agree with neder. Its not the best but not the worst. (That remind me of ROB the robot for the nes) What i cant understand is why cant nintendo make a normal headset for the wii. For example if i am talking to a friend through the wii speak using its channel and my mom is right next to me having a conversation on the phone, my friend wont be able to understand since two people are talking.It would be a decent deal if The Conduit came with a wii speak for the same value as animal crossing with the wii speak.

just another reason not to buy it. i might consider it if someone makes a headset for it, or it comes as a package deal with the conduit. other then that i think it would be a waste of money.

George Orwell once said,
"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

We ask for truth all the time, but when that truth threatens to tear apart the fundamental beliefs of your world, can you still accept it?

AHHH I am confused if I get it for the conduit then ill make the game even more awesome than it all ready is but ill only use it for that and thats like throwing away 30 dollars. Also if I dont buy it, instead I can buy De Blob.

I agree, 1 time use? What a rip off, and the only reason I would buy it is if my friend got it, and the conduit, and he probably won't. Maybe if it was cheaper, like 10 bucks or something, but 30, I don't think so.

Hopefully later on Nintendo will allow a third party to release a headset although they probably won't because no one would buy Wii Speak not that anyone is going to buy it anyway.
