DS headset headed to stores next month

With next month's DS releases of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl supporting online voice chat between players, Nintendo today confirmed that it would produce a new headset for its portable system that would facilitate that feature.

While a Nintendo representative would only confirm the headset as being released roughly alongside the new Pokemon games, the online store of retailer GameStop has a product listing for the headset specifying an April 23 shipping date with a $14.99 price tag. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are both expected to ship April 22.
