Wii Speak demand 'is limited' - Nintendo

The Wii Speak peripheral is likely to be discontinued.


That's according to IGN, which points out that a number of major retailers - including Amazon and GameStop - no longer sell the microphone peripheral new online.

Nintendo told the site that it'll continue supplying Wii Speak to retailers while there is demand for it - but there certainly doesn't appear to be much.

"The Wii Speak microphone is still available at limited retail locations," a Nintendo rep said. "Additional shipments can be made if consumer demand increases."

Last month, it was reported that Nintendo had told Conduit 2 developer High Voltage not to make use of Wii Speak for the upcoming first-person shooter.

Wii Speak went on sale in late 2008.
