Wii Mic on the Way?

In the article a person writes an Email to Nintendo asking about the possibility of the Wii having a mic add-on. To their surprise they got an Email back that said:

Hello,
While the chip is there, there is no inherent microphone function in the Wii Remote. Even the article you link to says it's not used yet. However, you never know what the future holds for new accessories that would attach much like the nunchuk! We've created a microphone accessory for the Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameCube, and built one into the Nintendo DS/DS Lite, so it goes to reason we might think ahead in case we ever want to build one for the Wii! Keep an eye on http://www.nintendo.com for official information.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo did do this. At first they weren't going to do online. Now they are working at it. I think Nintendo will do what the costumers want, and if the costumers want a mic they will get a mic eventually.
