Yeah, mic mode is pretty good. I go there and play star sprint when I just need a few more stars to buy what I want, and I played Speak Up with three friends once, and it was great. We all had loads of fun.
I'm not sure why all of you guys are having trouble with the mic. It almost always understands what I'm saying. But I'm sure everyone agrees, the voice recognization in MP6 is one heck of a lot better than it was in Hey You, Pikachu!! Sometimes, I had to repeat something to Pikachu numerous times before he did what I wanted. And shopping was really hard. There would be something I want, Pikachu picks up something, I say "No!", but Pikachu doesn't care/understand, he gets it anyway.
