Some new details from pure nintendo

With the online for this game. When I go into a match and am waiting for the game to start can I chat with people and while I am in the game chat with people without having them on a friend list or have there code?

wow...I really cant wait to see this game in action. Sounds like HVS has out done themselves.

Sort of, you can add them as rivals which only takes like 2 seconds ... you click on the player and choose add from the menu. I think will be able to talk to them as soon as they accept but you might have to wait till the next game.

L1nkToTheFuture thanks for the info!! I still think it is still a little step past friendcode but not much. What if they do not add me or what not. Pointless!!

this game gets better and better. i hope the headset works like wiispeak i.e. ill be able to use in MHTri and other games. that will give me an actuall reason to buy it...or is it free with the game?

Well they're debating whether to put it in a bundle or not ... i hope they do.

The headset wont work with old games because it needs a driver to run, which is going to be on the disk of new compatible games. They said there is a possibility of patching games to work with the headset and MH3 should be able to get patches since Conduit 2 will and they have thier own servers.

Only thing stopping it from happening is that it will slow down the sales of the wii speak bundle.

@ pimpcoop - both players don't need to add each other. If you add someone they will get a request, sort of like on msn, which makes it easy for both people so i doubt anyone will have trouble getting friends. 

that sucks. hopefully atleast capcom will realease a patch for MHT so it can work. that would make this more worth the buy. still, im probably gonna buy it. been waiting for a headset for years now....

Words cannot express my excitement.

It's shaping up to be far better than the first game....it seems.
