October 2, 2008 - Consumers that purchase the $30 Wii Speak microphone peripheral for the Wii will be able to immediately use it for more than Animal Crossing, according to Nintendo.
The microphone comes with a code that unlocks the Wii Speak Channel, a chat system for the Nintendo Wii.
Up to four players can chat together on the Wii Speak Channel at no charge.
The user's selected Mii appears in the channel, mimicking the user's mouth to make it appear as if the avatar is speaking.
The channel also allows user to leave audio messages to other users, as well as make audio captions for their stored photos.
The Wii Speak Channel launches November 16.
