Hacking wii speak

[motionballer]

Wii Speak is a microphone accessory for Nintendo's Wii video game console. Connected to the console via USB, the device can be placed near the video display, allowing voice chat to be conducted with the entire room.

This seems pretty cool, and as far as I know its compatible with ACCF, and the Conduit.
Has anyone gotten it yet, it was released today. November 16, 2008. If so how is it?
And are there more games compatible with it?

This should be in hardware, But... when's the Wii Speak channel coming out?

EDIT - Also, are Wii Speak/Wii Speak channels region locked? It's only USB

Actually, if you go to the Nintendo Wii Shop Channel,

They have an option to register it and download software for it.

Yes, but you don't have the access number you can't download it.

When you put in your access number you get a stand in channel for it. That will let you know when they real channel is out. Which is sometime in Dec.

I haven't used the wii speak yet , but dam it's small. Take your senor bar and cut everything but the middle off.
Right now AC is the only game that uses it. From now on new games starting next year. Should use the feature.

Wiispeak is worthless unless you are playing with other people that have it... and not many here do... damnit 30 bucks wasted!!
