Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed won’t support voice chat on Wii U. Executive producer Steve Lycett briefly discussed the decision, but has since provided a more in-depth explanation about the missing feature.

Here’s what he had to say:

“…Bear in mind Voice chat is only supported by third party peripherals and then only on the GamePad. Given we felt only a select few players would therefore go buy said peripheral and it meant only one player being able to chat, we opted to spend the time and effort on features more players would enjoy.

“We’ve hardly rushed it out, we’ve attempted to support as many WiiU specifics as we can via the 5 player splitscreen both off and online, WiiU specific game modes, Mii’s with a unique vehicle and more.

“You make these calls with a launch title as you don’t know what kind of uptake a given feature has. Besides, lack of voice chat never hurt Mario Kart Wii eh? :P”

EA was discussing how ‘Origins’ would function on Nintendo’s upcoming console when they– perhaps unintentionally– let slip a few details regarding what people can expect from Wii U’s online offering:

– You need an Origin account to play EA’s titles online
– You have to transfer some information to EA in order to use Origin
– Information includes Mii information, email address, Nintendo Network ID, friend list, country, language, and date of birth
– You do not have to transfer any financial or credit card information

The thing to note here is that “Nintendo Network ID” has taken the place of “Gamertag” and “online ID”, which were the phrases used in the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 descriptions of ‘Origins’ respectively. Additionally, “Mii Information” seems like a bit of a silly thing to need… but who knows!? We’ll see if anyone retracts or changes their statements now that a deal is being made about it.

On Twitter, Two Tribes told its followers that it “discovered a new hardware feature of the Wii U that shaves off 100 megabytes of texture memory”. The technique will be used in Toki Tori 2.

The studio later spoke about the advantages of the new feature. Two Tribes says “it means we spend less time loading and have more memory available when the game is running.”
