There was speculation that Metriod Prime: Hunters for the Nintendo DS would have Voice chat. It is now confirmed. Excuse me while I go change my skivvies.

Link@!

February 9, 2006 - Nintendo today revealed that Metroid Prime Hunters, the Wi-Fi enabled Nintendo DS first-person shooter hitting the system on March 20th, will be the first game in the Nintendo DS library to support voice chatting over the internet.

Players will be able to chat with players via the built-in microphone on the Nintendo DS before and after a match-up. Players can converse with anyone on their friend's list established through Friend Codes by clicking on the Chat icon in the game's lobby system.

Metroid Prime Hunters will support up to four player deathmatches over Nintendo's free Wi-Fi Connection service. We'll have more on the game as we get closer to its release date.

To get some of the imagination juics for people around here brewing let me add a few more tasty bit of information morsels. as we all know there will be without a doubt connectivity between the DS and the Nintendo Revolution how, however is not clear. But lets look at this for a minute, we know that the Revolution uses some sort of wireless interface. Our Nintendo DS also supports some wireless features. So what if there was a game that used the Nintendo DS as a controller for the game?

Allow me to present this patent for a new voice recognition feature for the DS.

US patent office and trademark office.

Now let your imagination juices flow. Oh and remember, Nintendo is due to release a headset sometime in Spring.
