Fun:
I bought this to use with the Jeopardy game. It was a total waste of money. The game has a very difficult time understanding what you're saying. You have to speak painfully slow and very loud, there can't be ANY background noise, and you usually have to repeat yourself many times. I tried several different setups and it never got any better.
Plus, the game is multiple choice when using the Wii Speak, regardless of difficulty level. This kind-of defeats the purpose of using the Wii Speak on Jeopardy in the first place. I was hoping to be able to call out the answers without multiple choice prompts, but it would be impossible since it usually can't even tell what you're saying when there are only 3 choices.
I don't know how well it works with other games, but don't bother if you're thinking about getting it for Jeopardy.

Fun:
I love the wii speak microphone. You can hear everyone in the room clearly. The quality is great. And it's nice that you don't need a headset, which can become uncomfortable and you can only hear one person talking. Talking is much easier to communicate with someone. Typing with the wiimote becomes tedious and is less fun then actually speaking to someone. If you get a keyboard to help speed up your typing, which runs for about $40 or $50 compared to $30 for the mic or $20 if you buy the bundle with Animal Crossing, It's still not as efficient and fun as the microphone. Having a keyboard is just another "controller" you have to worry about. You can't play and talk at the same time like you can with the mic.
If you are going to get animal crossing anyways, I highly recommend the mic. If you have no interest in the game, I would wait to see what the wii speak channel is like, since it's not even up yet. So buying it without animal crossings is useless at this point. And also if you aren't going to buy AC then I would wait to see what other games are compatible with it. Hopefully Nintendo will fully embrace the mic. It will add a lot more playing value to games if it does.

We purchased this to use with Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. As many other reviewers have stated, this item is completely worthless for this purpose. We have tried various settings, moving of objects, eliminating any possible sound conflicts, moving our furniture and people placement in the room, screaming and soft-talking...NOTHING results in this item functioning, even remotely, to its purpose. I believe this item is not a viable product. It should never have been put on the market. Do not buy this product...save yourself the headache.

Wii Speak
Product quality was as described: brand new and still in the package. Sometimes doesn't work the best, but that may be due to personal configuration.

DO NOT BUY!
There's a reason this never went mainstream. Once I hooked this up I tried it out. To much disappointment you have to yell for it to hear you and the off chance it does hear you it... Read more
