It's at wwww.smashbros.com on today's announcement. SSBB, the game with the most people working on it at Nintendo, would make use of voice chat if the option was available. They're really trying to put everything in this game and they would no doubt include it. If the September Surprise was voice chat... then why do we have to communicate by speech bubbles?

I've seen speech bubbles before, and I'm pretty optomistic that there's gonna be voice chat available as an option, mostly if you don't like cheesy pre-set ones.

Even with a headset available, not everyone will want to buy one (whether it be money or just don't want it). The text bubbles could be the alternative for the people who do not want to use the headset. Even still, I don't expect the announcement to be a headset.

why do people even think that a headset is possible? the text bubbles, as harmless as they are, are only available in friend matches. Nintendo has gone out of their way to restrict communication between gamers as much as possible, so that predators are unable to use nintendo's console to get to kids, and many other reasons. why would anyone even THINK there would be a headset? apparently their future games ARE sticking to their no-talking policy, so whatever small hope you people have for a headset and no friend codes, just get over it. nintendo isn't marketting for those. there will be many more minor steps towards opening up communication lines long before a headset is a possibility.

A headset would likely promote trash talk in a game like SSBB. Probably a headset will come out on a title in which players must collaborate with each other. The headset for the DS was released around the time of Pokemon Pearl/Diamond, it was just the perfect title for it.

But if Nintendo has already given players a headset voice chat option for the DS, what would stop them from adding it quickly to the Wii?

The "September surprise" is probably just the Mii Contest channel. People took the comment out of context, in my opinion. For those that don't know where this whole thing originated here's the link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eog0BEe0QsY, about 2:10 in it starts. Though I'd be fine with being wrong, if there is a surprise and it's more then the Mii Contest channel I'll be happy.

I just want a headset, no text bubbles.
