Hiii! Demonstrating the Wii Speak Channel voice message process [update]

Not to burst your bubble, But the channel was released already. :S

i got the wii speak channel on monday but it said the service would be active today.

That was cute. I don't necessarily need the Wii Speak Channel, nor do I even own a Wii Speak. It is welcome, but the whole idea of Ninty trying so hard to satisfy gamers who think that the 360 and PS3 are fine examples of gaming consoles is disturbing. So what if you can flame preteens in Halo, I don't want to do the same on my Wii. Then again, It's not mandatory I have this service anyway, so I should watch how I complain. There has to be someone else here who agrees that Nintendo should not be trying so hard to make the Wii into some souped up media hub, DVD player or anything else not related to gaming at its purest. I like how simple the ii is. I don't even own a HD TV. I live in the Caribbean, so I can say I have lived a live more underprivileged than an American or European citizen.

But one thing I've learned in my life is that all this 'HD" bull isn't necessary. People still enjoy the old NES Super Mario Bros. a lot. Doesn't mean that Ninty should make a HD remake for anybody. Surely if Nintendo were to make a new HD system that at least matches the competition in graphical capabilities (although the Wii can pack a punch depending on who's developing games for it), but costs slightly more than what the Wii costs now, I will not hesitate to purchase it. Though if I wanted a gaming system with a HDD, I'll just build another PC and wait a year for the good 3rd party titles to get ported. I never owned any other system than Nintendo systems; Gameboys, NES, SNES, N64, Cube and Wii. I never had the luxury of storing streamable video on a built-in HDD, or voice-chatting with other people over a heated battle with a system made by Nintendo, and I don't need to.

Still, it is good that the Wii Speak channel came out because it does post some great features. I have a friend in New York who I rarely get to keep in contact with. I am more than sure we can chat with each other on a Friday afternoon at least every month if he has time. I can even send him voicemail to keep him informed on what's going on in my neck of the woods. Seeing as they decided to deliver these features of voicechat to the Wii rather than just using it in online gaming for nonconstructive flaming purposes is a good thing in my book. And they keep their place in providing friendly and safe products and features. But I bet Fox News is gonna pull some crap about child predators using Wii Speak to trap your children or something. That's why I don't trust the media... crackpot newscasts like that make me sick.

They had a info ticker on the preview channel saying it "will be released for download on 12/5!"

I wish Nintendo would focus on getting more good games on the Wii rather than junk like this.

well fishfood on my opinon it is better to have wii speak because you could actually talk to ur friends in messages instead of wasting all ur time writing (even though its only 10 second clips wat a meltdown for me)but still it will be pretty kool,And u know wat else?maybe we could all talk to each other live on other games.
well thatz all i have to say



P.S. can u talk to eachother live on the wiispeak channel?????????
