PDP brings voice chat to Wii with new headset

Peripheral maker PDP has just announced the upcoming release of the Wii’s first licensed online chat headset.

The headset will be compatible with select titles, one of the first will be High Voltage Software’s Conduit 2, releasing this fall. PDP will show off the new headset this week at their E3 booth.

“By incorporating the new Wii compatible headset into Conduit 2, we are able to immerse gamers into the action like never before,” said Eric Nofsinger, Creative Office at High Voltage. “The microphone allows for crystal-clear communication to your Conduit 2 friends and foes alike.”

Sounds better than WiiSpeak, that's for sure.

sounds better than WiiSpeak, but I'm still not getting it, caz i don't do online gaming with friends on Wii

Wii online play is such a flop.. The friend codes are fine, the redundancy isn't. Just on universal friend code and name would be fine then it would be more practical. If it were like that I would probably still have my wii right now.

+1 to Nintendo WiFi Connection is rubbish. Either implement a PSN ID-ish-like system or GTFO.
