Did you know that Nikki and I are both proud owners of a Nintendo Wii? Did you know that Nikki and I have to be in constant communication no matter we are doing? Phone, Facebook, note passing, smoke signals... and now Wii Speak.
Basically, Wii Speak is a microphone that hooks up to the USB port on the back of the Wii. Each Wii Speak comes with a card that enables you to download the Wii Speak channel which lets you enter chat rooms with other Wii friends who also have the Wii Speak mic.
How does it work? Fairly well. We did have problems with echo (I would speak and then hear myself speaking to Nikki again through her speakers) but that was the biggest issue. Oddly enough this was only an issue with the Wii Speak Channel and NOT with Animal Crossing's in game voice chat.
Strangely enough, circles emanate from Nikki's head in real life, too.
If you want to hear more about our experience with Wii Speak and Animal Crossing: City Folk, you can catch them in the Riot Control archive on the Riot Page. Also, they are both available in a bundle at Amazon.
