Reggie has confirmed you will be able to chat to other players using the in-built microphone while online with Metroid Prime: Hunters!

Executive VP of Sales and Marketing and all round Nintendo legend Reggie Fils-Aime has unexpectedly revealed that the upcoming DS Wi-Fi Connection compatible Metroid Prime: Hunters will feature voice chat functions!

Speaking to Yahoo News, he revealed the feature in the title, explaining it would allow gamers to talk to other players on the Friends List before and after matches, but not during. Players simply hit the chat icon and speak their piece. Easy. Fils-Aime remarked:

This could be a huge, huge idea. This is not about in-game trash-talking.

The title will be the first to feature such capabilities - we can't wait to try them out for ourselves. More as it breaks!
