1up - When they are released for Wii U this fall, you'll be able to voice chat with other players in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Assassin's Creed III, and Mass Effect 3. This is no newsflash; voice chat has long been a staple of online multiplayer games, though you could be forgiven for wondering how it will work on Wii U. After all, as Kotaku notes, we've yet to actually see a Wii U headset of any sort. And, for that matter, we've yet to hear much about Wii U's online setup. As it turns out, there's a reason for some of that.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."
I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.
there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.
nintendo needs their bangers early on
While I understand why it would worry some people, I don't see why others are taking it as an opportunity to cry foul on the console as a whole. Yeah, it's an inconvenience, but we don't know everything about the online network in place here.
I've repeated it numerous times, but I still think we should wait and see what the Wii U Chat feature that was notably listed on the box of the console is.

I believe that there IS universal voice chat, but only for those who are on your friends list. The problem is Kotaku decided to take this story and spin it as negatively as possible (which is honestly not out of character those click grabbing wannabe Sterlings).
Im very concerned about nintendos network..
I never use voice chat.
If Nintendo allowed voice chat via game pad everyone would sound like this

See Nintendo isn't stupid. Buy a headset, get over it.
voice chat only matters when you have a hardcore gaming console... for the 5 games the console is going to have that are hardcore, Im sure this won't be a problem!
