Well, the conference call wrapped up, so I wanted to just make a quick post of the most important bits that Reggie mentioned.

Voice Chat on the Wii - It is something that Nintendo cares about. They have worked on that feature for the DS, and they put out the DS microphone. This is proof that they do enjoy the idea. When it comes to Wii, voice chat is definitely possible. There needs to be a peripheral created and finalized. Reggie said he wouldn't be surprised if this is a feature that would come to the Wii.

GameStop raincheck program - Nintendo and GameStop will be working together to provide a Wii raincheck system. This offer should kick in on Dec. 20th and 21st. No details on if it will run longer in December. If you go into GameStop and pay off a Wii in full, you'll get a raincheck to pick one by the end of January. Tens of thousands of Wiis will be offered. A press release with full details on this offer will hit sometime later today.

Toys R' Us, Best Buy, Kmart, Target, Sears, Circuit City will all be offering Wiis this weekend. Walmart will be offering them all week long. These sales should be advertised in flyers.

The entire phone conference had a ton of interesting information. Please click here to read my live blog of the conference. You can catch all sorts of info on sales, production, quality of Wii titles, DS talk, and a lot more.
