E308: WiiSpeak with Mario

Mostly, this entailed yelling at other players for messing with his flowers, and complaining about the lack of bugs nearby. I tried to interact with Mr. Martinet, but the WiiSpeak couldn't pick up my normal speaking voice (which is admittedly mousy and whisper-quiet). As I was walking away, Mario started smacking the other players with his axe.

I wish I could've tried that, haha.
But this worries me. If the WiiSpeak is really that insensitive... wow, I hope they fix this issue; I have a quiet voice too, I don't wanna feel like I have to raise my voice for people I'm playing with to hear me.

I wouldn't really worry about it being too soft...I mean, I haven't played it, but apparently other game/tech sites are praising it for being a pretty neat piece of hardware.
You gotta keep in mind, he said his voice is a little quiet (which I'm going to assume was joking a little, but ultimately truthful) and that he's in a crowded room in the middle of E3, the largest gaming convention of the year...

"As I was walking away, Mario starting smacking the other players with his axe."
LOL. Was that in the contract? Maybe Charles was getting bored.

I'm gonna assume it'll be adjustable. I figure they'd have to turn it down in the conference room or it'd be picking up all sorts.

I don't really like Charles Martinet's Mario voice. He sounds castrated.

He's talking in his SM64 Mario voice, not his Galaxy Mario voice.
Want to hear it?

I have a mousy and whisper quiet voice too. Don't worry about WiiSpeak people. I have a feeling Nyko or someone similar will provide a traditional headset to replace it.
