According to Kotaku, the Wii U only supports voice chat with the Wii U GamePad for "select games" such as Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Mass Effect 3. That's not even the worst part. The controller's built-in mic won't work on those compatible titles, either. Gamers will have to buy a licensed headset that plugs directly into the controller's headphone jack.
And if that's not jarring enough, gamers who opt to use the Wii U Pro Controller (the one that looks like an Xbox 360 controller), headsets still need to be tethered to the GamePad because the Pro Controller doesn't have an audio jack. This complicated setup brings back awful memories of how the Wii's Classic Controller had to be tethered to the Wii Remote in order for it work.
But by far the most upsetting part of Kotaku's report might be that the Wii U might not be capable of supporting a wireless headset, which in this day and age is ridiculous.
