The new in-game voice chat function for Animal Crossing™: City Folk will be ready to go as soon as the game launches on Nov. 16, using the Wii Speak™ accessory. A separate Wii Speak™ Channel that people can use to chat independent of Animal Crossing: City Folk will be available in December.
The new voice chat function makes use of the new Wii Speak accessory, a microphone that sits on top of the television and allows entire rooms of people to communicate with one another. Only users who have traded Friend Codes can connect with one another using Wii Speak. The accessory is sold separately at an MSRP of $29.99 and will also be available as a bundle with Animal Crossing: City Folk at select retailers at an MSRP of $69.99. The Wii Speak accessory comes with a code that lets users download the Wii Speak Channel from the Wii Shop Channel at no charge.
The Wii Speak Channel will allow friends and family members to chat with one another, whether they live across town or across the globe. When users are chatting with the Wii Speak Channel, they can see each other’s Mii™ characters representing them on the television screen.
Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other Wii features, visit Wii.com.

Other than that, I MAY use it for The Conduit and other games. I never found myself interested in Animal Crossing.
Its coming out in December as thats when Europe (probably the last place to get it) will be getting Animal Crossing the Wii speak bundles.
Do you know how much replay value you are going to get out of this game?
Hahaha! That's just what we need, more channels. I'm gonna find it difficult to have room for the WiiSpeak Channel as it is.
I moved all of my VC/WiiWare games to SD to make space available to GHWT DLC, but most of that's going on the SD also. I have one full page of 12 CHANNELS, and nothing else.
and why are wifi routers a rip-off again? I bought a linksys wireless G for about 60 bucks new, and it's been great. much better than running a 50 ft patch cable across my living room.

nobody likes a debbie downer.
2. I don't think any of my friends are going to get Wii Speak.
3. Of the friends who do get Wii Speak, I don't think any of them will ever go out of there way to get to this channel. They will most likely just try the channel out once and chuckle at some clever thing Nintendo did.
4. The channel will most likely get deleted since it will probably take up another 200 blocks.
Bottomline, Nintendo needs to enable voice chat for their games. Unless I can can continue talking to my friends after exiting the Wii Speak channel, then I really don't see the point. Even if Nintendo were to do that, they shouldn't designate a channel to it because it takes up memory.
Ugh. I'm thinking I'm gonna get a keyboard for Animal Crossing sometime down the road.
ONE BIG QUESTION!!!???
If you launch the great new Wii Speak Channel and connect to your mates, is it then possible to start Mario Kart Wii, Mario Strikers CF, SSBB and every Wii online title and play it while Wii Speak is active?
That would upgrade older games!
Best regards

doesn't work like that. Games need to be built to support WiiSpeak. Wii games don't have the plug-ins to allow for post-release patches to add that functionality.
