'''Wii Speak''' is a microphone accessory for [[Nintendo]]'s [[Wii]] home video game console. Connected to the console via [[Universal Serial Bus|USB]], the device can be placed near the video display, which allowed [[voice chat]] to be conducted within entire rooms across multiple households.<ref name="filter">{{cite web |url=https://www.wired.com/gamelife/2008/07/how-nintendos-w/ |title=How Nintendo's WiiSpeak Mic Works |access-date=2008-08-02 |last=Kohler |first=Chris |author-link=Chris Kohler |date=2008-07-24 |work=Game{{!}}Life |publisher=Wired |archive-date=2016-03-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305082538/http://www.wired.com/2008/07/how-nintendos-w/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The device features an [[Light-emitting diode|LED]] indicating when the microphone is active.

Wii Speak was announced at Nintendo's 2008 [[Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3]] media briefing. It was released on its own, as well as in a bundle alongside ''[[Animal Crossing: City Folk]]'', on November 16, 2008 in North America, and on December 5, 2008 in Europe.

The Wii Speak accessory was succeeded by the embedded microphone on the [[Wii U]]'s [[Wii U GamePad|GamePad controller]].<!-- The official Wii U karaoke microphone is not direct successor to Wii Speak, but is actually the successor to the licensed karaoke microphones which were bundled with some music Wii games --> Nevertheless, the Wii Speak hardware is still compatible with the Wii U.

[[File:Nintendo-Wii-Speak.jpg|thumb|right|The Wii Speak shown with its USB cord]]
According to [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], the microphone was designed to "clearly capture many different voices being spoken in a room at the same time and convey that over the Internet."<ref name="Miyamoto" /> Addressing concerns over background noise due to the placement of the microphone near a television set, ''Animal Crossing: City Folk'' producer [[Katsuya Eguchi]] stated that the device was designed to [[Filter (signal processing)|filter]] out video game sound from the audio speakers.<ref name="filter" /> Miyamoto noted at the time that the quality of the noise filtering functionality in the Wii Speak is "very good", which may have contributed to the cost of the device.<ref name="Miyamoto" /> An on/off switch was originally planned, but the microphone was ultimately designed to only turn on when a compatible game wants access to it.

In addition to the standalone accessory, the Wii Speak was also made available as a [[product bundling|bundle]] alongside ''Animal Crossing: City Folk''. However, it was not originally Nintendo's intention to release such a bundled product.

At E3 2008, when asked why the device would not be bundled with ''City Folk'', Nintendo senior managing director [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] replied that cost was the factor behind the decision, adding that some users may prefer playing the game without a microphone, and that others may want to use Wii Speak who are not interested in buying ''City Folk''.<ref name="Miyamoto">{{cite web |url=http://wii.ign.com/articles/890/890133p1.html |title=E3 2008: Miyamoto Talks WiiSpeak |access-date=2008-08-02 |last=Casamassina |first=Matt |author-link=Matt Casamassina |date=2008-07-15 |work=IGN Wii |publisher=IGN Entertainment |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120318140417/http://wii.ign.com/articles/890/890133p1.html |archive-date=2012-03-18 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Despite these initial statements however, Nintendo later revealed that a bundle of the Wii Speak, along with ''City Folk'', would indeed be released.<ref>{{cite web |author1=James Stephanie Sterling |author1-link=James Stephanie Sterling |title=Animal Crossing Wii bundle just got priced |url=https://www.destructoid.com/animal-crossing-wii-bundle-just-got-priced-102826.phtml |website=[[Destructoid]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090729014305/https://www.destructoid.com/animal-crossing-wii-bundle-just-got-priced-102826.phtml |archive-date=July 29, 2009 |date=September 7, 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref> This bundle was a [[limited edition]], and was released the same day as the standalone products.<ref name="Cammie">{{cite web |url=http://wii.ign.com/articles/915/915864p1.html |title=Interview: Cammie Dunaway |access-date=2008-10-14 |last=Casamassina |first=Matt |author-link=Matt Casamassina |date=2008-10-02 |work=IGN Wii |publisher=IGN Entertainment |page=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081019071627/http://wii.ign.com/articles/915/915864p1.html |archive-date=2008-10-19 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

On October 2, 2008, Nintendo announced that Wii Speak would have its own [[Wii Channel]]. The Wii Speak Channel could be unlocked for download with a 16-digit "Wii Download Ticket" included with the Wii Speak package upon purchase. Only those who entered the 16-digit code on the Wii Shop Channel (prior to its closure) were allowed to download the Wii Speak Channel, which officially launched on December 5, 2008.<ref name="WiiSpeak Channel">{{cite web |url=http://wii.ign.com/articles/915/915632p1.html |title=WiiSpeak Gets a Dedicated Channel |access-date=2008-10-02 |date=2008-10-02 |last=DeVries |first=Jack |publisher=IGN |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081005034408/http://wii.ign.com/articles/915/915632p1.html |archive-date=2008-10-05 |url-status=dead }}</ref> If for any reason the download ticket was lost, or used on another Wii, users could at that time obtain a new download ticket by emailing Nintendo. Prior to launch, customers could download the "Wii Speak Channel Download Assistant", a channel which gave information about the release of the Wii Speak Channel. Following the release, the Download Assistant updated and converted itself into the actual channel.


The Wii Speak Channel allowed one to chat with Wii Friends (who also had the Wii Speak and the Wii Speak Channel) within one of four "rooms".<ref name="Cammie" /> There was no limit to the number of people that could be in each "room".<ref name="Cammie" /> Each user was represented by their [[Mii]] avatar, whose mouths were [[lip sync]]ed to the user's spoken words. In addition, users were also able to leave audio messages on the [[Wii]] message board for other users, as well as make audio captions for their stored photos. Users could also share photo slideshows and comment on them.<ref name="Cammie" />
'''''WiiSpeak''''' is an upcoming accessory for [[Nintendo]]'s [[Wii]] [[video game console]]. It is a microphone attachment that can be placed near a television and allows multiple players to speak into a single unit. The device enables room-to-room communication between Wii owners. ''WiiSpeak'' was announced at Nintendo's 2008 [[E3]] media briefing on [[July 15]], [[2008]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://wii.ign.com/articles/889/889633p1.html |title=E3 2008: Nintendo Announces WiiSpeak |first=Jimmy |last=Thang |publisher=[[IGN]] |date=2008-07-15 |accessdate=2008-07-15}}</ref><ref name="ACCF Confirmed">{{Cite web |url=http://wii.ign.com/articles/889/889629p1.html |title=E3 2008: Animal Crossing Coming to Wii |first=Jack |last=DeVries |publisher=[[IGN]] |date=2008-07-15 |accessdate=2008-07-15}}</ref>


The Wii Speak Channel was also available via the Wii U's "Wii Mode", though it had no functional use, as the Wii U's Wii Mode has no friend codes. However, the Wii Speak peripheral itself does function on the Wii U with games that support it. The Wii Speak channel is no longer available for download due to being discontinued, and any download codes that are used result in an error message stating that the channel is no longer available.
Currently, only ''[[Animal Crossing: City Folk]]'' has been confirmed to be compatible with the WiiSpeak. Other games that may utilize it have yet to be announced.<ref name="ACCF Confirmed" />

The Wii Speak Channel ceased functionality after May 20, 2014 when the free Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service was discontinued. The Wii Speak Channel was succeeded by the Wii U Chat videochat app for the [[Wii U]].

Lifespan

Wii Speak is a microphone accessory for Nintendo's Wii home video game console. Connected to the console via USB, the device can be placed near the video display, which allowed voice chat to be conducted within entire rooms across multiple households.[2] The device features an LED indicating when the microphone is active.

Wii Speak was announced at Nintendo's 2008 E3 media briefing. It was released on its own, as well as in a bundle alongside Animal Crossing: City Folk, on November 16, 2008 in North America, and on December 5, 2008 in Europe.

The Wii Speak accessory was succeeded by the embedded microphone on the Wii U's GamePad controller. Nevertheless, the Wii Speak hardware is still compatible with the Wii U.

Design

[edit]

According to Shigeru Miyamoto, the microphone was designed to "clearly capture many different voices being spoken in a room at the same time and convey that over the Internet."[3] Addressing concerns over background noise due to the placement of the microphone near a television set, Animal Crossing: City Folk producer Katsuya Eguchi stated that the device was designed to filter out video game sound from the audio speakers.[2] Miyamoto noted at the time that the quality of the noise filtering functionality in the Wii Speak is "very good", which may have contributed to the cost of the device.[3] An on/off switch was originally planned, but the microphone was ultimately designed to only turn on when a compatible game wants access to it.

Software

[edit]

In addition to the standalone accessory, the Wii Speak was also made available as a bundle alongside Animal Crossing: City Folk. However, it was not originally Nintendo's intention to release such a bundled product.

At E3 2008, when asked why the device would not be bundled with City Folk, Nintendo senior managing director Shigeru Miyamoto replied that cost was the factor behind the decision, adding that some users may prefer playing the game without a microphone, and that others may want to use Wii Speak who are not interested in buying City Folk.[3] Despite these initial statements however, Nintendo later revealed that a bundle of the Wii Speak, along with City Folk, would indeed be released.[4] This bundle was a limited edition, and was released the same day as the standalone products.[5]

On October 2, 2008, Nintendo announced that Wii Speak would have its own Wii Channel. The Wii Speak Channel could be unlocked for download with a 16-digit "Wii Download Ticket" included with the Wii Speak package upon purchase. Only those who entered the 16-digit code on the Wii Shop Channel (prior to its closure) were allowed to download the Wii Speak Channel, which officially launched on December 5, 2008.[6] If for any reason the download ticket was lost, or used on another Wii, users could at that time obtain a new download ticket by emailing Nintendo. Prior to launch, customers could download the "Wii Speak Channel Download Assistant", a channel which gave information about the release of the Wii Speak Channel. Following the release, the Download Assistant updated and converted itself into the actual channel.

The Wii Speak Channel allowed one to chat with Wii Friends (who also had the Wii Speak and the Wii Speak Channel) within one of four "rooms".[5] There was no limit to the number of people that could be in each "room".[5] Each user was represented by their Mii avatar, whose mouths were lip synced to the user's spoken words. In addition, users were also able to leave audio messages on the Wii message board for other users, as well as make audio captions for their stored photos. Users could also share photo slideshows and comment on them.[5]

The Wii Speak Channel was also available via the Wii U's "Wii Mode", though it had no functional use, as the Wii U's Wii Mode has no friend codes. However, the Wii Speak peripheral itself does function on the Wii U with games that support it. The Wii Speak channel is no longer available for download due to being discontinued, and any download codes that are used result in an error message stating that the channel is no longer available.

The Wii Speak Channel ceased functionality after May 20, 2014 when the free Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service was discontinued. The Wii Speak Channel was succeeded by the Wii U Chat videochat app for the Wii U.
