Wii U eShop listing of Mario Kart 8 mentions “Game Chat”
It was widely reported how the Mario Kart 8 eShop description had no mention of game chat or voice chat. This left many to believe Mario Kart 8 would be missing this feature. As you can see below that same listing seems to be updated with “Game Chat”
As I understand it this feature was missing before. Is this a mistake or has Nintendo added this in the last-minute?

Freaking hope they added in game chat! It works well for the games that support it on the Gamepad, but not sure what they will do if someone isn’t using that to play. Will they eventually give us a wireless headset or something?

Would’t count on that. So far they always proposed having the gamepad near you for chatting even when you were playing with other controllers.
