With its comfortable, over-the-ear design and snazzy hi-tech look, Communicator Headset for DS works with both the original Nintendo DS and the new DS Lite. It's fully WiFi-compatible too, whether using Nintendo's device or Datel's own WiFi MAX.
Communicator Headset works with any DS game with voice control. With a microphone positioned near your mouth and an earpiece for crystal-clear sound, you need never shout into the console's built-in mic or struggle to hear your in-game sounds again.
Communicator Headset is also ideal for online DS games which allow voice communication. Nintendo's Metroid Prime: Hunters lets you chat to your online opponents in the virtual lobby before and after the game. It's so much easier and convenient with the Communicator Headset to cut out background noise.
With more and more Nintendo DS games making use of the device's in-built mic, and for those inevitable occasions where listening to the in-game sounds is the only option, Headset Communicator is the ideal choice.

In an interview, Engadget, Reggie Fils-Aime, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Nintendo says a new Nintendo DS will be available next year!
Where is Nintendo right now with the development of the Revolution?
We have been sharing the controller mechanics with developers across the world. We have shipped over a thousand controller dev kits to developers so that they can begin getting experience with the controller mechanics. The response to the controller has been fantastic. Developers are truly embracing the innovation. They’re embracing the approach and quite frankly, they’re embracing our vision; our vision of creating games that are as sophisticated as the core gamer wants it to be but could also be as straightforward and as accessible as brand new gamers. And that vision, that strategy is what Nintendo is all about. We want to create a system with Revolution that appeals to all types of gamers versus going down a path that, frankly, is a bit exclusionary.
