Matt over at IGN has confirmed that the upcoming Mario Kart Wiiwillnot support voice chat, but will instead be text-only. Nintendo ofEurope also explained that players will only be able use this featurebefore races, not during them. "You can create rooms for friends tojoin and even text chat while you're waiting for other racers," NOEsaid.
With all of the new (for the Wii anyways) features that Mario Kart Wiiis bringing to Nintendo's console, the lack of voice support is a bitdisappointing. Even if you aren't a fan of being called raciallyinsensitive names by complete strangers, it is always nice to have theoption. Hopefully, the game will also feature USB keyboard support tomake the text chatting a little more bearable.
You will be able to get your chat on soon, as Mario Kart Wii is set to hit store shelves this April.
