    Default Skype for gaming on the Wii

    Since all Wii games don't have online chat I though it would be a good idea to use skype, but I don't think the idea has been taken well. My user name is cmtz11219 and I would like everyone else to add their skype user name so we could all brawl with the best options available. In case you don't know skype is free and can be downloaded at http://www.skype.com/download/skype/windows/

    if you plan to download skype please add your user name and sign in everytime you play ssb online.
    All my meseta if you can guess what CMTZ stands for.

    I use Skype on a limited basis for customer conferences, but haven't used it for gaming. Does it offer a large group chat option like Ventrillo?

    So far, Vent and Teamspeak have been the best luck I've had while gaming.

    You can have a conference chat of around 8-10 people.

    Actually, for those of us with computers & wireless headsets, or laptops, Slim PSP's and wireless networks, that's a really COOL idea!

    Of course, I don't think the PSP allows for conference call creation, but I think that a PSP Skype'er can join a conference/chat already in progress, or can be in a room where that happens.

    In any case, you can count me as somebody who thinks it to be a totally valid idea.

    My brawl friend code is on that thread, my Brawl screen name is Frank and I use my Mii as an avatar (see my Wii signature), and my Skype name is : FrankieViturello.

    PM me if you want to get a test run going on any of this.
