Gaming is now entering internet telephony with Nintendo all set to launch a Wii accessory with VoIP. This phone, called Wii Chatter will enable gamers to interact with each other from any part of the world courtesy the internet. But don’t expect to chat up your rival gamer across a couple of continents with a hope to distract him into gaining an upperhand. No, that is not yet possible in the Wii Chatter, you can only chat when you are not actively gaming. Chattering away is very easy with the Wii Chatter a.k.a Nunchuk which has a speaker and a microphone built in. So, all you have got to do is, keep the Wii Nunchuk at your ears like a conventional phone and start chattering away. Very handy indeed. To dial numbers, you use the voice dial system or the Wii remote which has built in motion sensors. Nintendo has gone an extra mile and added a very retro Victorian style telephone holder for the Wii Chatter/Nunchuk. That’s a very smart touch. You can get your hands on one of these this somewhere around Christmas. Till then, game on.
