Nintendo Co. has announced additional features to its DS portable video games player . Nintendo announced the additional features at the DICE tech conference being held in Las Vegas. It has introduced voice chat in its gaming device. The voice chat feature would be included in its Metroid Prime Hunters. The feature would be available from 20th March. This would enable players playing games on the internet to talk to each other after a game was over and not during the gaming process. This feature is one step behind Sonys SOCOM U.S. Navy Seal Fireteam Bravo which allows players to talk to each other during the duration of the game.
