DS Headset on the Way

Next month ushers in the release of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl in North America, and it seems like Nintendo is wising up to the appeal of online play for these games. It was already previously known that both of these games would support voice chat with people from your Friends List, but Nintendo confirmed to IGN today that it was releasing a headset peripheral for its popular little dual-screened monster, making chatting with your friends even easier.

Nintendo representatives were wary to confirm a specific release date, but they did state that the company plans to release the attachment to coincide with Pokemon Diamond and Pearl's April 22 release date. While Nintendo was characteristically tight-lipped, online retailer Gamestop lists a ship date of April 23 and a price tag of $14.99.
