Black Ops Wii Headset Beats Game to Retail Shelves

Kinda funny how this is the only news we have on Black Ops for Wii, and it's not even from Activision.

Holy ****. Wii is getting better every time.

Too bad nobody in my neighborhood will play this game...or they have different consoles.

Not a fan of the wires, but... AWESOME!

Sweet, too bad this won't be compatible with Wii Speak games though.... I'd love to have this for Monster Hunter Tri as well....

I'd gladly pay more to make it wireless. Might as well just wait until Conduit 2 releases.

This made my day.

Better late then never Nintendo.

I hate the Wii speak

it's late about 5 years to late i'm going out to buy a xbox360

But will it only work for black ops and conduit 2? I guess the game would have to program in having a headset. Or is it sperarate from the game itself? But will this work for goldeneye?

@Marvelousmoo
No, Goldeneye will not support voice chat. This is pretty cool, but its kind of late now. And I guess its only compatible with Black Ops and Conduit 2.

Please let this be compatible with Wii Speak games, Nintendo! I hate SHOUTING LIKE THIS WHENEVER I'M PLAYING ANIMAL CROSSING with friends.

Here's the way I see it... This is Nintendo's late-inning trial, much like the Wavebird for GameCube and reliable online for Wii starting with Mario Kart (though sadly too late for Smash Bros.). Let Nintendo realize that the headset is the way to go, they'll then come out with one for Wii Speak games, and the ultimate headset will be made available for Nintendo's next-generation game-changing console.

The next Nintendo console... it's only the second thing to ever kill Chuck Norris!

I'll wait until Conduit 2 rolls around before picking one of these up.

I'll be too busy with Goldeneye to get this... it's a shame that Goldeneye doesn't support online chat. Speaking of which, anyone know why we have loads of screenshots and vids of Goldeneye (which is awesome) but none for CoD: BO?

If it comes with the game then I will be happy, if not, i won't. Most will be too lazy to go out and buy it.

Call of Duty isn't really my cup of tea ,but I'm glad to see Nintendo is stepping up their game. With more traditional mics, you know instead of the Wii speak thingy, I think Nintendo will satisfy plenty of online Wii gamers. Good move Nintendo, even if it is a bit late.

God I hope Conduit 2 turns out good...
So that peripherals like this are more commonplace.
Wii so badly needs it's own Halo/Killzone to give its hardcore image a push.
So far we've had games that prove the concepts work, but not many that actually have depth and ambition. C2 looks to be such a game, with everything I've heard they are really pushing this one.

I agree. However C2 turns out though, I don't think it's going to get enough recognition to change many people's image of the Wii.

Oh yeah, it also needs to sell well.
I guess I'm hoping it at least becomes a powerful brand, that Wii owners can feel proud of, and that High Voltage will continue to improve on the next console. More good games to raise the standard of third parties a little.

Looks like it's time to bag Wii Speak then. No big loss for me. Is this thing wireless with a USB base-station of some kind? I cannot see having a cable running across the floor just for voice.

HOLY S#$T THATS EXPENSIVE! Well, not really. Ill probably get it.
