The Wii is awesome. Everything about it screams innovation: the controls, the focus on gameplay, the Wii Channels, heck, the design of the machine itself.

Everything... except it's online.

At first it seemed innovative, WiFi out of the box, the WiiConnect24 service, Virtual Console game downloads. Even the newly revealed (as yet un-confirmed, however) Mii Code frend networking system. Yet there's one MAJOR thing holding this entire set-up from possibly being the best on the market.

And that is the lack of communication. It's just plainly a step backwards.

As of the writing of this petition, there have been no announcements of any online games to utilize any form of communication outside of the Wii Message Board. And that is extremely limiting. We don't know if Nintendo is planning to or is allowing a third party to give us a headset of some sort or other way of allowing voice chat, but it's something that's DEFINITELY needed.

So, even if maybe it's in the pipeline for future online games, since we have no idea whether it is or isn't, sign this petition if you think VOICE COMMUNICATION should be a part of the Wii online experience. This will show Nintendo of America, at least, just how many people think the lack of voice communication is a major hindrance of a potentially great system.

I support this petition. I want voice chat. And Smash Bros. Brawl needs to be less laggy as well. Also if the Wii is always supposed to be connected, why can't we connect instantly.

I support this petition. the wii should have voice chat even though the kids are protected but make a game where kids cant play so you can make voice chat online just make one game that is ausome has voice chat and its a online first person shooter with VOICE CHAT it makes it a whole funner and a better way to plan out strategies with friends

We also need a keyboard. It's great having people over for nintendo parties, but then we like to surf internet and look at funny videos. A keyboard is a must!

I really support this, I mean just look at Xbox Live. Maybe if parents don't want their kids hearing smack-talk across Wi-Fi (via headsets if they made them), then they could disable that through the parental controls. Also, the DS got a headset, so why shouldn't the Wii?

I totally agree with this article. The Wii's online gaming experiance would be all that much better with a voice chat option. The online play is great because I haven't encountered any lag in the games. I am also a Xbox 360 owner but I would love to see voice chat enabled to put my xbox live controller down. Thanx,Adam
