TVGB's Matthew Razak got to sit down while waiting for his press time with Nintendo and experience the Wii Speak microphone for himself while playing Animal Crossing: City Folk with none other than "Mario" (actually the voice actor behind Charles Martinet) on the other side of the mic.
NE: "Today, we're looking at how the next Animal Crossing game on Switch 2 could significantly improve its multiplayer with new features."
A new Animal Crossing or a Kid Icarus: Uprising remaster would be perfect on the Switch 2.
The Animal Crossing franchise may lean towards casual gaming, but it has laid the foundation for a future title to have a survival mode.
So now we'll probably get voice activated controls in addition to waggle. Nintendo's on a quest to eliminate those pesky "buttons" once and for all.
Maybe they'll get their own version of Sega's Seamen or Tom Clancy's Endwar.
i would imagine that their would be an echo, from the tv speakers. i hear that all time online with people with headsets and the tv loud.
you know I never even thought about that possibility
he said there wasn't and its not a head set soo
This thing must be able to read the mouth opening and closing for it to work properly. If it's driven by sound, you will either have to hear everything times ten as an echo when you speak with someone in game or, play your games with no sound which will kill the experience.
Was it so hard for nintendo to instead just develop an wireless mic?
