Hi,
This is a question about the Wii Remote.
On this link:
http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/s.../index.htm
it says that one of the components in the Wii Remote is an:
Audio Translator, which Converts analog data such as human speech into a digital data stream
Is this true? If it is, does this mean there is a microphone-like device in the Remote?
They also say about it that:
This feature is unused now but will probably be employed in future games
I also wish to know if this is true. Thank you.

Hello,
While the chip is there, there is no inherent microphone function in the Wii Remote. Even the article you link to says it's not used yet. However, you never know what the future holds for new accessories that would attach much like the nunchuk! We've created a microphone accessory for the Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameCube, and built one into the Nintendo DS/DS Lite, so it goes to reason we might think ahead in case we ever want to build one for the Wii! Keep an eye on
