Nintendo brings forth double joy with the announcement of the Wii Speak Channel for use with the Wii microphone. You and three other friends will be able to chat via the channel, and its downloading coupon is bundled with the microphone. Apparently little else is known about the channel so answers to questions like, can we use another mic, or release date, price; and what else can we do with the channel besides speak; all have to be put on hold till we gather some story on this.
