So it appears that wii speak will require a 16 digit code to download the wii speak channel to use the microphone. And that this code may only be used once, and if lost will not be replaced by nintendo. The really bad part is that without the channel the mic will be useless. Wonder how long it will take before the speak channel is floating around as a wad. Anyone interested in RTFA'ing Click Here
