"In terms of online voice chat, as you know, we are constantly making updates and changes available," said the exec. "Certainly our system has the capability for online voice chat; what it comes down to is finalizing the peripheral that would allow you to speak during gameplay, and the fact that we make this available on the DS certainly suggests that it is something we value and something that we are constantly looking at, and I would not be surprised to see that capability come on our system."

That would be awesome. Otherwise online play is useless to me. :(

Would this be the wrong thread to say that, thanks to Zack & Wiki, Mario Galaxy, Geometry Wars Galaxies, and Trauma Center, the Wii is having an amazing Christmas season? It's getting the bulk of my playing time for the last two months, easily.

The f'n Wii Zapper is impossible to find in stores. Anyone have any suggestions of how to get one before Xmas?

The reviews have been universally poor and you still want one? Is your head screwed on right?

It's been proven over and over again that it isn't.

probably wants it for a gift or just for links crossbow training, which is the only reason to buy it. Though Link's Crossbow Training has to show up used at some point in stores.

Link's Crossbow Training has also been universally panned, so really, why bother?
