Q: I heard that on animal crossing wii ( 11/16/08 ) you can talk to other people on this new wii speak microphone. At the E3 confrence they make it sound like you can talk to pretty much anyone around the world without even a friend code because it might be a MMO game. Is this true? Also, can you connect to the ds version from AC wii?
A: Sold separately for a suggested price of $29.99, the WiiSpeak peripheral is not handheld or tethered to a headset, but instead acts more like a speaker phone. The stationary microphone picks up the sounds of whoever is in the room and allows voice chat for gamers who are already Wii Friends. I believe this game is not a true MMO, you will only be able to play with three other people in a town at one time. I also believe that you can play with "friends" or with "anyone."
