Eurogamer has a piece up clarifying the situation regarding Wii Speak, which caused certain internet-goers to get all flustered when they thought they wouldn’t be able to get hold of the peripheral second-hand.
(Though why you’d want to buy a second-hand peripheral I don’t know. Games are one thing, but controllers and other accessories I’d never consider getting pre-owned. Maybe you’re different, but it just seems a bit weird to me.)
Anyway, I digress. Nintendo had the following to say about the matter: ”Nintendo can confirm that when consumers purchase the Wii Speak accessory, they are provided with a Wii Download Ticket with a unique number. The ticket, which can be redeemed via the Wii Shop Channel, will enable the user to download the Wii Speak Channel free of charge to a single Wii console. Any consumer who may have misplaced their Wii Download Ticket number for the Wii Speak Channel or require a new number following a Wii exchange may contact their local Nintendo Customer Services department, where they can request a replacement Wii Download Ticket number.”
So that’s that, then. If you’re getting a preowned Wii Speak, then you’ll still be able to download the Channel. Praise be.
