What is the “Wii Speak”?

Leia — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 16:05:00 +0000

You might have seen commercials for Animal Crossing: City Folk showing off the new Wii Speak. So what is the Wii Speak? It’s essentially a USB microphone that connects to your Wii.

A Wii Speak Channel will be launching in December, which will allow you to talk to other Wii Speak users. Your Mii will lip sync to your spoken words. You can also chat with users in Animal Crossing: City Folk and The Conduit.

One complaint circling the Internet about the Wii Speak is its requirement for an unlock code to use. The code is included in the Wii Speak package. What this means is that you won’t be able to resell it or give it to a friend if you don’t like it, since the code will already be used.

The Wii Speak is out now. Will you be getting one?

NYKO’s Wireless Sensor Bar, the one that got such great reviews, is on sale at Amazon right now. Amazon has it for $15.99. Our original sensor bar died months ago, and we were forced to get a replacement, so we opted for this one. It has increased the distance you can play from the TV by about 15 feet!
