Yeah, I'm in Canada, and don't have WiiSpeak (never been able to find it).
Wonderful! I hope to see you around then. Don't worry about the WiiSpeak, I can think of only a few people who have one, and even less who actually use it. Stratos is really the only one who likes it. You should get one just to talk to him, he needs someone to talk with, I feel bad.
Any USB keyboard will work, too.
Well, weren't Killer Man Jaro and KDR wanting people to play with?
I'm not sure if Killer_Man_Jaro has the game. I remember that the main reason he wanted it was to join the club, and once he found out about the region limitations, I think he passed on the game.
