Se vende separadamente, y cuesta unos treinta dólares, pero incluirá además la descarga gratuita del canal Wii Speak, mediante el cual podrán conectarse hasta cuatro consolas que hayan intercambiado Friend Codes, y utilizarlo como un canal de voz gratuito entre ellos.  Al utilizarlo, aparecerán los Mii de los usuarios correspondientes en la pantalla, y podrán comunicarse de viva voz, dejar mensajes o ser utilizados con otras aplicaciones, como por ejemplo para compartir fotos y explicarlas. Lo he visto en GigaOM.
