A new DSi Speak channel is believed to be on the way, after the new app was mentioned on a customer support page on Nintendo's own website.
The page has been swiftly edited to remove all mention of the new channel, but according to reports, the page for 'error 206602' read: "To redeem a Nintendo DSi Download Ticket number, such as for the Nintendo DSi Speak Channel, enter the number off the Nintendo DSi Download Ticket in 'Settings and Features' off of the main Nintendo DSi Shop page, then select 'Nintendo DSi Download Ticket.'"
It would make sense - the addition of a built-in microphone was one of the biggest hardware changes on the DSi and direct chat between DS units would be very cool.
However, a Nintendo rep has told CVG: "It's rumour as nothing has been announced."
Maybe Nollog. Have you anything else to add, or was that it? If not, sounds like you're having a slow day yourself. Maybe you should go outside and do something constructive with your time.
Can't have had, not if Mike says "the addition of a built-in microphone was one of the biggest hardware changes on the DSi". He is a game journalist after all.
The Speak Channel is a nice bonus for those that have a use for it. I hope it's not too restricted.
Yeah, as a respected games journalist, Mike would never make that mistake. Clearly, I was imagining being able to talk to my friends while playing Metroid Prime: Hunters online on my old full-fat DS.

Actually I had just come back from walking my dog and shopping. Thanks for worrying so much, would you like some bolognaise?
I added whatever I had to say about the dsi speak channel when I first heard of it 2 days ago. "Good news, but I wouldn't buy it, I'd download it if it was free".
