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.[2][3]
Currently, Animal Crossing: City Folk is the only first-party game confirmed to use WiiSpeak.[3] The Conduit has also been announced as the first third-party game to support WiiSpeak.[4]
WiiSpeak will be sold separately at an MSRP of $29.99 USD.
