Nintendo does have some pattents regarding microphone input that they have not used yet. Like the patent where spoken text would be converted to typing so whenever you see a 43 old warrior in an RPG, you wouldn't hear the 13 year old's voice playing him.
So a microphone is an option, but build in the wiimote? Dont think that verry usefull. Just think of playing metriod, aiming your microphone at enemys whil you trie speaking in it. Nah, thats not gonna happen. They might add a headset or something. But who knows, just another rumor on the huge pile of em.
I dont get why people get pissed at new designs either... I mean whenever you buy simethng these day's, the second you step outside the sotre it is already old. So it is oke if you buy a cellphone and a new one arrives 1 week later but it is not oke if a new version of the DS arrives 1 year later... Same for pc's, radioīs tvīs etc. And most anoyingly, when the new smaller Playstation hit the market it was cool. What is that any different then this?
Now just think shiney white, because it is going to be shiney white (this is just a prototype) and it looks a lot better then the original one :). But the best of it is and will remain the smaller size/less weight factor. I am surely going to get it when it release. Now I just have to decide if I am going to 'tune' my old one or sell it...
Rumor: Wiimote with mic, VoIP support
