Topic: Wii Speak is officially dead.

No Wii Speak = No Hey You Pikachu.

Not that anyone would get it.

Under the product specks, it says "Discontinued by the Manufacturer?: Yes". That says more than enough.

That says nothing.

That says they're not making anymore. Unless Nintendo lost all they're senses, I doubt they're not gonna support something they no longer sell.

Of course. Mix Superstar and Tetris Party Deluxe with Wii Speak support have just been released and then Wii Speak is dead?

Yeah yeah! Let Nintendo OFFICIALLY(!) announce Nintendo stuff, and not some website that knows nothing, ok?

Oh right, I forgot who I was talking to. I think I'm done here.

That's pretty much what i was thinking, but since i don't have one and won't be getting one it doesn't really affect me at all one way or the other.

WTF I didn't even use it in a game yet >:[

I've e-mailed Nintendo. Of course, this might be news to their customer service department. They might not have a clue.

Then try one:

1. Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City
2. Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep
3. Jeopardy! (NA ONLY)
4. Mix Superstar (WiiWare) (NA ONLY)
5. Monster Hunter Tri
6. NBA 2K10
7. NBA 2K11
8. NHL 2K11
9. Tetris Party Deluxe
10. The Conduit
11. UNO (WiiWare)
12. Wheel of Fortune (NA ONLY)
13. Wii Speak Channel

@SKTTR I have The Conduit, MH3, and (obviously) the Speak Channel, but no one seems to really use it anymore lately :/

Hate to burst your bubble but they never announced that they would discontinue the USB Wi-fi adapter, and they did anyway

To think they maimed Monster Hunter Tri for this piece of garbage. >:/

This. Until they discontinue the Wii Speak service itself, we can only assume that they're discontinuing the physical product. This could mean an improved version will be on the way... or it could not. Either way it's just speculation at this point.

And personally, I'd rather have a microphone on my coffee table than on top of my TV. My games room is pretty big and I don't know if a mic on top of my TV would pick up me on the couch.

I used Wii Speak in Animal Crossing. I'm not playing it anymore - I got 400 hours out of it and collected almost everything and then stopped wasting more time on it.

I still use Wii Speak in Monster Hunter Tri. It seems most people don't know how to turn down the volume of the music and sound effects from 8 to 1. I guess these are the people who say Wii Speak is worthless. Of course it's worthless if they have music and sound effects on max volume. Normally I play with loud music and sound effects too, but in this game I want to understand what my team is planning. I could turn off the music and sound effects completely (to zero) but I don't want to disable the ambience of the game. And yes, there's a another option, I think.. Wii Speak sensibility or something, you have to manually change, somewhere hidden in the vast chaos of options this game offers. We all have the Wii Speak sensibility on Very High. The few online friends I play this game with use Wii Speak all the time. Makes fighting big baddies much easier and the game more fun.

I have one friend I play UNO with sometimes. Of course we use Wii Speak so we can not only play cards but also chat. It's quite ok.

And that's it I guess.... I only used the Wii Speak Channel once, to test it.

And yeah, I'm going to buy Endless Ocean 2, Tetris Party Deluxe and Mix Superstar at some point, so this makes it 6/12 games I'll use Wii Speak with.

Whoops, looks like it's not discontinued after all...

therefore... move along, people, nothing to see here :3
