Well this is an interesting issue because i do clearly remember reading somewhere that devs say there is no reason why Nintendo WiFi can currently not support voice chat.....the "infrastructure" for it is already here, it's just the hardware is taking some time to perfect.

So all Ninty WiFi based games in future should have this capability included.
Existing games may well have hidden menu's, yes. Alternatively, maybe a firmware update to the Wii will allow the console itself to "manage" all voice comms, so the games will not need to be updated par se?

The problem is that Nintendo tends to be quite tight lipped this era, before they release anything. Chances are, we won't know anything about it until it's upon us.

Finally, as you said Ed, what about MoH? MoH doesn't use the Nintendo servers, it uses it's own US ones.
Harking back to that article I read somewhere, I'm pretty sure it hinted that ALL devs would be able to utilise the feature but again, without anything concrete it's all guesswork (damn my senility , I can't for the life of me find that article now).

I'm hoping the upcoming game event (E3?) will give us something more definitive to mull over.
