GameRecoil -> -> WiiSpeak Channel Activated in Japan

• 
  

  

  The Japanese have all of the luck when it comes to release dates, it seems. The Wii Speak Channel is up and running now for Japan-only Wii owners. Don't worry though, a North American version IS going to be available (unlike the Japan-only Wii fortune telling channel).

  The free WiiSpeak Channel will allow WiiSpeak users to chat with each other, trade pictures off of SD cards, make voice tone adjustments and mute certain parties. You'll be able to display 6 of your Miis on the channel to represent yourself and other parts of your family, friends, et cetera. If you're lucky like me, you won't even have 4 people as Miis on your Wii because you're so lonely... so there will be plenty of room on the WiiSpeak Channel.

  There is a catch to this "free" channel, though. You must own the Animal Crossing WiiSpeak sets or the solo WiiSpeak peripheral in order to receive a download ticket for the channel. If you bought a used WiiSpeak you can request a ticket from Nintendo; they're simply limiting the channel to those who can actually use it. This makes sense to me.

  Even if you won't own a WiiSpeak peripheral, you can take advantage of some of its features. People with WiiSpeak can record and send 10 second messages to people with or without the microphone peripheral and channel.

  I have a feeling my 4 friends with Wiis will be getting some late-night, drunk, WiiSpeak recordings.
