Zelda DS Will Have 1-On-1 Voice Chat!

zeldauniverse.net — Phantom Hourglass is due out this holiday season, and comes with a battle mode that has one player scrambling for pieces of the Triforce while being attacked by their opponent. And now, Famitsu confirms that while you're kick your opponent's ass over WiFi, you'll be able to scream insults at him as well.

  • Klarth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20I *PUT ON* my robe and wizard hat.

    If you are going to quote ancient bits of internet comedy which are now not even remotely funny due to overexposure, at least get it right.
  • PhoenixAvatar2, on 10/12/2007, -4/+23It's cool and all to have voice chat, but it doesn't say anything about letting you do it with people who aren't on your friend code list.
  • TheAkolyte, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16Pokemon will have this too.... and pokemon comes out the 22nd
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17buried for truth
  • JaybeasCorpus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Cue the fearmongering news report describing how child predators will use this game to lure children into their vile clutches....
  • JaybeasCorpus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Well, if you had read the article, you would have seen that a headset is coming out this month.
  • noseeme, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7This will be one of the first official Nintendo games where everyone can hear you yell "FUUUUUUUUUUUCCCK!!!"
  • cozinator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b247/salvamag/1157775914442.jpg
  • PhoenixAvatar2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Yet another reason not to pre-order!
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10My pokemans!
  • br0ck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5The DS headset has been rumored for a long time and the rumors were recently confirmed. http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/nintendo-denies-wii-hard-drive-promises-ds-headset-for-states/
  • DuoPros, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Completely unrelated, but why do you repeat your username when its clearly displayed above your message?
  • Klarth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Contact wouldn't let you play online full stop. The wifisland would have been a bit of a null feature if it slammed random people's profiles into your game; the game's online aspect was absolutely fine.
  • Cyber_Akuma, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Sigh, and of course, im sure voice chat will be limited to only people on your friends list, just like every other voice-capable DS game.

    Hell, contact wouldent even let you PLAY online with someone that is not on your friend list.
  • cayqel, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Metroid Prime Hunters already has this. It's roughly walkie-talkie quality.
  • ijeff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Not only that, the quality of voice chat on the DS is horrid in audio quality and capabilities. It would probably only support voice chat before and after play. Let's just hope it isn't so...
  • nickerbocker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wow. No wonder this game keeps getting delayed. I preordered it when it originally was scheduled for February. I just got my second notification email stating that it will not be out until the end of the year.
  • vertinox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Yeah. Many DS Wi-Fi games have voice chat already, but you can't do it while you play and you can only chat with people that have your friend code.

    Which is a moot point because you can go to a forum and post and get tons of friend code with complete strangers.
  • Blandyman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Rofl. Good thing my girlfriend doesn't know that rule, or I'd never get pussy again!!

    I heart Nintendo
  • erwanl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Right, no voice chat at all in the article.
  • ANTLink, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's true. I hate to rain on the parade here, but the original Japanese article doesn't say a single thing about voice chat. The Zelda Universe guy is either making it up or just seeing what he wants to see.
  • wageslaven, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What, no VOIP quality, tiny-wireless headset goodness?
  • Blandyman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2You doesn't know?

    Get the ***** outta of here.
  • spokesandspools, on 05/07/2008, -3/+2bfd

    pokemon diamond/pearl has it and that somces out in a week
  • grumbel, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Don't worry, friend codes will make it impossible to talk to anybody you doesn't know already.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1It's coming out in June.
    And.
    Pokemon Diamond and Pearl has voice chat too.
    Not too big a thing.
  • markhp, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I can't seen anything in the original japanese about wi-fi voice chat, only 1 on 1 wifi battles. I have no idea where the author got it from, it's like he's appened it to the end of what was, up to that point, an OK translation.
  • answer42, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Was that supposed to be some kind of joke?
  • ScarlemNocturne, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4Let me show you mah pokey mans!
  • TroyBenedict, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Great! This is awesome. Now I can chat with my friend in the same room thru my DS! (because we all know that voice chat over WiFi will be so damn complicated that it sounds better on paper than it will be in utilization- see Metroid Prime Hunters)! Thank you Nintendo!
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1ahahah you need a friend code to talk to someone... more broken stupid ass nintendo kiddie *****.

    you grown men who are into ***** nintendo can suck my dick... thats the closest you will ever get to getting laid..

    ***** ***** nintendo loving little *****.. will ***** everyone of you up in real life you ***** pussy ass *****
  • Asianwaste, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1I'd say this feature would make it worth the wait.
  • openaddy, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2Yes. I can imagine Chris Hansen entrapping potential predators w/ a DS on those Dateline "Predators" specials. If you haven't seen those, check MSNBC. I think they run various "episodes" of it like 300 times a week, in between the hour-long specials about life in various penitentiaries. "wuld u like to come over n play pokemon w me? lol."
  • datalife, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3I am in your base killing your d00ds
  • Jeffler, on 10/12/2007, -12/+7I take out my robe and wizard hat...
  • bpapa, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3Wow, to me this is just a waste of resources and time. Why the hell would I want to talk trash to some guy over... ZELDA?
  • D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2Will they make headsets or will I have to yell at my DS?

    I don't think my DS would like that....
  • cybercam34, on 10/12/2007, -9/+0I cant wait for Zelda PH!!!!
    Yerrrr!!
  • iburyfamilyguy, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1It'll sound like this:
    tshh-shhof-psssf
    I've heard the mike, it sucks.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -13/+3Good, now I can get back to my predator ways
  • Domanic, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1Yay! I've been waiting for a game like this.
  • EnvyOurLove, on 10/12/2007, -10/+0Whoo! GOO ZELDA!
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -15/+2*****
  • guitarh3ro, on 10/12/2007, -16/+3Good. I'm tired of only being able to talk to my friends. It should be more like Xbox Live matchmaking.
  • IntoTheWired, on 10/12/2007, -16/+2Socially awkward Zelda gamers everywhere rejoice!

    ...waitaminute...
  • CapnCornflake, on 10/12/2007, -26/+6Don Imus diggs this, for great justice against nappy headed hos everywhere.
  • Link740, on 10/12/2007, -26/+2Beautiful! THE MIC HAS SOME USE! PRAISE HOJO-I MEAN THE 3 GODDESSES!
