I understand why you and others would want a headset, but the truth of it is, people tend to get angry and use inappropriate language for kiddies who play games. Because of Nintendo's 'family console' they are known for, I find it unlikely they will allow a feature for talking this generation unless they come up with a creative way to keep young ones out of that scene. However, if Nintendo does eventually utilize the feature of team speak, it really becomes of matter of the parents allowing, monitoring, and possibly an addition to the parental control feature. I don't see that as a hard update, but with their current multiplayer set-up, it may be a long while before we see Nintendo follow X-Box in the next step of online gaming.

DS had a headset, so I don't see why the Wii won't!
they could have an option to mute voice chat. that would solve the problem. i hate that online games dont have voice it feels like im playing a bot. mario strikers is a lot of fun but it would be so much more fun if you could at least use the wiiboard to chat
I think one will come out eventually once nintendo finds a way to monitor things, like parental control or something. You know nintendo trying to keep the world safe.

How do you make a "parental control" for verbal speech not text?

There in lies the problem, sounds like it takes alot work right? hence why we dont have one yet, I remeber hearing a while back about Nintendo copyrighting some tech that can convert text and words or something like that. So they my be working something, but there is always a chance that they will allow a 3rd party one to be made.
It would be nice if one were released for co-op games. For something like Strikers, though, I don't think voice chat is necessary. You can talk all you want, but all that counts in the end is the score.

C'mon people, Nintendo just found out that there is a such thing as the Internet like last year. As soon as they figure out a way to piss their adult gamers off when they communicate. Then, we will get a headset. They probably will put some kind of buzzer/shocker on it for foul language like on South Park The Movie.
Assuming that Nintendo followed the Bluetooth standard, there should be no problem linking to additional wireless devices such as headsets (bt standard = 7 devices).
Someone pointed out that the DS has a headset. Well, the first thing is most of those suck. Second, you still need all the friend code information in order to do it. Third, there aren't a lot of games that support voice chat. I would like the see the Wii get voice chat, but I know Nintendo wants this to be a family console. Hopefully, they'll do what they did with the DS and make it so you can only talk to "friend code" people.
I was thinking it would connect to one of the GC ports. Like a wireless reciever would go to the GC ports, like something that resembles a wave-bird wireless thingy. Then the headset would go on your head, and wa-la, instead headset action.

Why use controller ports when the Wii has much more flexible USB ports and BT wireless?

Parental controls just to mute chat altogether would make it easy enough to use chat if you wanted to and keep the kids away from the foul-mouths.Ecezdawg
