Wii Speak, In Action

By Luke Plunkett on November 15, 2008 at 2:30 PM


Have you seen the Wii Speak microphone in action? I haven’t. So let’s watch, as this sweet, innocent Japanese teenager “meets up” with a friend in Animal Crossing and “does stuff”. Can’t understand much, but it’s clear they both recognise a lobster when they see one, one of them is very insistent they eat chicken for dinner, and they both find the whole experience overwhelmingly cute. If there were a hell for Xbox Live users, surely this would be it.

    @Dreamwriter: This is a good question. For "family" gaming, the Wii Speak sounds like the best option, but otherwise the 360 solution sounds best. I prefer the latter one.

    what about all the background noise? that mic position seems like a bad idea to me.

    I forgot to mention that this commercial is the lead annoying thing I have seen out of Nintendo in a while, though that may be because its Japanese. I forgive the gleefulness as an inherent Japanese trait, and I have to assume they are laughing at something genuinely funny. It at least tricks me into seeming realistic, which is far more than can be said for most other Japanese Wii commercials, and ESPECIALLY FOR ALL NOA COMMERCIALS.
