“The Wii Speak microphone is still available at limited retail locations. Additional shipments can be made if consumer demand increases.” – Nintendo representative

How do you expect for demand to rise if your not even supporting yourself Nintendo? With the lack of support from its own maker, 3rd party developers are turning away from Wii speak as well. As we reported earlire  High Voltage was asked, by Nintendo, to not use the Wii Speak. Eric Nofsinger explains a little more why.

“Honestly, it boils down to this: the firmware required to support the PDP headset is incompatible with Wii Speak. We had to decide which one device to support. Sadly, we knew either route was likely to tick off some of our fans. So, we chose to support the best option for gameplay. And at the end of the day, the headset peripheral is more in line with what we believe our fans and first shooter players want/expect.” – Eric Nofsinger, High Voltage
