Online voice chat a possibility for the Wii

Reggie sure had a lot to say today, didn't he? He may have crushed our hopes for online features coming to the Virtual Console, but in the process managed to dangle another carrot (a voice chat flavored carrot, that is) in front of our faces. To quote the man himself, "I would not be surprised to see that capability come to this system." He also stated that the Wii has the capability for voice chat, it was just a matter of making a peripheral.

That's definitely better than some of the outright "no" statements that we're so used to hearing.

Virtual Console: Online features are for suckers



During the same conference call with Reggie, the notion for online features in Virtual Console games came up. And, like a huge megaton hammer, Reggie came crashing down on the notion with enough force as to completely shatter each and every dream we'd ever had, from ridiculous to surprisingly plausible. It's a shame, because it wouldn't be that hard to give us something so small as online leaderboards.

For those of you looking forward to updates to these past titles, much like the norm on the Xbox Live Arcade, grab a box of Kleenex and sit with us. It's just not going to happen. It's okay, cry. Let it out. We're here with you, doing the same.
