Mario Kart 8 may not feature voice chat
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 45 Comments
Will Mario Kart 8 feature voice chat? Right now at least, the answer seems to be “no”.
Mario Kart 8 already has a listing up on the eShop. Online multiplayer, leaderboards, and Miiverse are all included in the “Supports Online Play” sub-category. Voice chat, however, is nowhere to be found. Typically, “Game Chat” is listed if a particular game supports the feature.
This isn’t exactly an official confirmation from Nintendo, though right now I wouldn’t expect the functionality to be included.

Walmart Mexico lists Tomodachi Collection as “Tomodachi Life”
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Although there hasn’t been an official announcement yet, it’s safe to say that Tomodachi Collection is heading west. There have been plenty of signs (and straight up evidence, like this survey) pointing to an overseas release.
When Tomodachi Collection does launch in the west, it may carry the name “Tomodachi Life” based on a listing from Walmart Mexico. Nintendo did recently trademark that very name, so that would certainly make sense!
