Nintendo Talks about VoIP Capability on New Pokemon Game
Note: This should be fun for the gamers.
Nintendo put out a press release today discussing the VoIP features of the latest Pokemon game for the DS.
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl will ship to the US on April 22 along with a headset that can be used to speak with friends. This feature is used for online play and allows players who have each other's friend codes to talk during and after battles using the DS' built in mic or headset.
“The amazing wireless and voice chat features of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl offer gamers something completely new,” says George Harrison, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications.
In the press release, Nintendo compares this feature to a child's first cell phone. With an emphasis on easy use and protection, this feature will hopefully appear on many more DS games to come. The headset will be going for $14.99.
