Good, good, good!

- Tournaments = excellent
- Voice chat = great, but shame about the lack of in-race?
- Upload to YouTube? Since when did Nintendo get so modern? lol

Guess they mainly wanted it in lobbies so people can discuss what they actually want to do (GP, Battle, track choices, whatever). Skype is the superior choice anyway, and doesn't require a separate Wii U headset.

I know people use Skype but I don't understand the lack of an option for in-game voice chat. Perhaps you don't have a working computer near you, or Skype is playing up or other stuff. No harm in having the option. Baby steps - the pre/after-game voice chat is something at least.

I'm also very concerned about the 'items' option for lobbies. I've not seen anything about being able to truly customise items for friend games. I know it was discussed in an interview of sorts, but there's been nothing solid on it. I get the impression it's more of a MK7 communities thing - choose from options: bananas only, shells only, bombs only, no items etc. I hope we get true confirmation of SSB-style customising.

YouTube stuff is good. Hope it uploads in 720p HD.

Not really a big hurdle. Any pair of headphones with a microphone (like those that come with iPhones) work fine.

It's not a hurdle if you simply want to chat, after all I've used only the GamePad mic itself for hundreds of hours of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate because I had no other alternative. Now, though, I have a decent headset that I don't want stop using for inferior options.

I've tried using mine on my Wii U before, it didn't work. Smilie It's a Turtlebeach P11 (PC/PS3).
