So, now that we know that...

1) MP:H will feature voice chat, and
2) that the DS Lite still has the same headphone plug-in to accommodate a headset...

Does this mean we'll see some headsets – possibly first-party – coming out soon? A headset with a mic right up in your face would provide for clearer communications and less background noise, I'd wager.

Look if you could download demos online than someway or another someone will
start to hack it. I don't want someone to hack Nintendo's website I download a new demo
and my DS is permantly broken because some guy with a PSP is angry he has crappy games so to get revenge he makes a virus.

I don't want a DS virus or Worm or whatever when gonline. If I have to go in store to download them
no big deal.

How much you wanna bet it will be similar to how they did that Nintendogs thing a while back.

I'll probably buy something if I have to go to Gamestop or reserve something.
God knows when I play mario kart at mcdonalds I usually buy food.

Metroid voice sounds cool to me. I can't wait to download Brain games.

I'm glad to see the option of voice chat has been considered at all by Nintendo.

If the Rev went without it, it'd be one more thing the MS fanboiz would bitch about the Rev not having. I know whining is inevitable, but don't leave dry sticks where you don't want fire.

I heard The Younger Plumber does a very good Peach impersonation.  Or maybe it was Mario.....or....Toad?  I can't remember.

My voice varies from deep, resounding and almost gruff to high pitched or kid-like or completely weird, depending on current mood and company present.

"OMG! I'M PLAYING METROID WITH CROCODILE DUNDEE!!!11!"

I share Hostile's problem. Voice ranges from "Scary Trucker" to "Laughing Child".

And I also do a fantastic impression of the weapons dealer from RE4.

If this supports my theory in any way, don't expect to see it in an E-rated game.  Prime Hunters probably got away with it because it's rated T and it's audience is expected to be more mature.  Whether it is or not is a whole other story.

Any game that offers voice chat (or any chat) with strangers typically has the ESRB warning of "Rating may change during online play" stamped on it.

Basically, "We can't control what strangers are going to say to you."

"Experience may change during online play". Prolly because some ratings can't go up a lot.

Why not?  Its limited to only people on your friends list.

Yeah but the whole friends list thing is done to make that concern moot.


Also will MP:H allow you to play with people outside your friends list minus the voice chat or will it be resitricted?

I was hoping I could at LEAST play against random players like MK does.

If you don't want voice chat, you should be able to turn it off, plain and simple.

all online games come with the "experiance may change during online play" so E rated games can have voice chat and whatnot.  my only concern for this is the power of the mic and the sound quality we're going to get out of it.  might be hard to understand anyone.

A lot of folks are hoping for a headset for exactly this reason.

DS has replicated my voice almost perfectly whenever I heard it (Nintendogs, Electroplankton).  I'm just shocked that a handheld with a mic like that can manage that sort of task.

been away for a few days and just read the awesome news. I must say I am shocled that Nintendo is actualy getting agressive with thier onlione plans, but I was hoping for it all along, because it shows me that they ARE taking MS seriously and doing everything they can to match everything MS has. Thats good news indeed.


As for Voice chat in games, well Im a little iffy on that anyways. I dont know how I feel about talking to total stranger while playing a game, its bad enough getting online and 'talking' to people I dont even knwo but actualy voice chatting is totaly different.



But its an experience i plan on trying at leat to see what its like. I also look forward to hearing what some of y'all sound like in person. I wont try and describe my voice instead I will post a link to a song I recorded that will have my voice recorded on it for those who are interested. cuz I DO talk alot better than i type for all your haters.


I still cant wait for Tetris DS and now I have to chose between that or Metroid. What to get first thats gonna be a tough one for me.

I'm guessing this is the DSpeak program being implemented, so that sort of stuff shouldn't be a problem.  Go read IGN's impressions of DSpeak, the quality is supposedly cell phone-like, which is good enough for me.

As it has been said, you can download demos online, and use a ralink 2500 card to send them to the DS. Plus, the Super Mario 64 download has been hacked to boot DS code from the GBA slot. However, this just lets users hack their DS's. AFAIK, no one has actually been able to transmit the code they want executed over wireless, though. The executables are signed, plus I very much doubt Nintendo would be hacked. Downloading demos over the net would be pretty safe.

Of course, if someone could hack the DS online, they could do it from the store.

Downloading demos from the net would still require a way of sending them to the DS. Since an unmodified WiFi card can't send the right signals that wouldn't work and you'd need to change the DS to accept some signal a WiFi card CAN produce.
