Sounds great to me

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

This sucks. There is no other way to describe it.

4 people limit = pathetic.
Friend code required = pathetic.

How about just being able to jump into a Conduit deathmatch and being able to speak to everyone in the game?

How useless they have made this.

Don't be silly, mun.

The Wii Speak channel is just for chatting outside of games.

The way Wii-speak will be used in game is completly different to how it's used outside of games. Games like the conduit will feature the "normal" FPS chat features

Wrong. Four room limit.

IGN: And you can have up to four groups of people on the WiiSpeak Channel.

Cammie Dunaway: It's up to four rooms of people. You could have an indefinite number of people. I think that's what a lot of people will do, particularly around the holidays. One of the things that I think is cool about it is how you can share photographs very seamlessly. So I come back from a Thanksgiving trip and have photographs that I want to share with my brother in North Carolina and my mom, and you can share the photographs and comment on them.

@KylieDog: You've got it all wrong. You CAN talk to whoever you want in The Conduit (assuming the developers choose to have this feature). The WiiSpeak channel is a Skype-like channel on the Wii's main menu.

I have it wrong? I hope so.

I loathe the friend code system.

Well the Wii Speak channel will probably be tied in with the main Wii code, althoug I will lol if it requires it's own code.

but yeah, games that use it will be different.
