Topic: Now Wii speak is offical dead. Sorta

I know we had this topic before https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/wii/wii_speak_is_officiall... but the thread was locked so I couldnt add this there.

Apparently this is officially from Nintendo that only a limited amount of retailers will carry the Wii speak. However if it proves popular enough they will bring it back.

Heres the full story.

Heck I thought that was already the case. I bought mine at HMV after they slashed the price in a bid to unload all of them.

I've sold it on and I'm not looking back. The Headbanger is tethered, but I'm not that far from my TV and it'll be nice not having to deal with the calibration/positioning issues and having to raise my voice/tolerate echoing to be heard.

Totally dead, but thats not bad, its the beginning of the new Nintendo wireless speak system.

I guess this means no Hey You Pikachu (not that I'd get it anyway ).

Did anyone use this anyway? It came with my endless ocean game and I never took it out of the plastic wrap, both were a waste of my time.

I used it for the Conduit and (less successfully) for Uno. The main hassle I found was the set-up. Either the mic was too sensitive or not sensitive enough. I had wanted it on top of the TV, but it refused to calibrate so it had to go on the cabinet at the front before it would work. I like the idea of a non-headset option, but practically speaking you have feedback and placement issues that make it less practical.

I use it for Animal Crossing, Monster Hunter Tri and UNO.

I look forward to use it in Endless Ocean 2, Mix Superstar and Tetris Party Deluxe.

I used it for Animal Crossing & Mix Superstar, but have yet to use it for EO2.

I'm wondering if I should get the headbanger headset for BO. Is it any good? It sure would help out in zombie co-op.

@Z.Bone the headbanger headset had really good reviews. The PC compatibility made it a huge plus for me, because the quality of the voice in PC is really good! If you want to check it out on youtube. Search it up. The voice quality is surprisingly good!
