My theory from playing last night:

As long as there are two friends in the room, anyone in the room can use WiiSpeak... Otherwise, no-one can use it...

In other words it won't turn on until in a match against someone you are friends with.

While I understand the "need" for communication in some things like that.... I think it is a good thing you can only talk with friends. Don't get me wrong, I would love if the rest of Nintendo's online talk was more like the other two.... ie a bit more existant first of all, then I think I would prefer headsets to the TV thing (though I hear it works very well anyway) but while it can be good to talk to randomers in game, Nintendo would recieve a shit-load of backlash if a parent came into the room and there were a load of young teens swearing at their son. Basically just because they are Nintendo instead of Sony/MS.

Well, I thought that too, but there were some people who I did not know at all who were using WiiSpeak as well... So I think that it's just if there are ANY 2 friends in the room (Maybe 1 of them has to have WiiSpeak, IDK), then you can talk as well...

 

Also, If you bought WiiSpeak a while ago, you need to update. That's why mine wasn't working early last night...

Explain please...

Just go to the WiiSpeak channel, and it will have an update... I'm sure it's just adding a code to the device to allow The Conduit to use it... You'll probably have to update it with every new WiiSpeak game >_<... It's Nintendo's way of making sure no-one is using it without their permission, like 3rd party devs who want FFA chat against Nintendo's will, or so some third parties have to pay nintendo to use WiiSpeak (Like EA, for not using Friend Codes)...
