Nintendo to Release Wii Phone?

T3 reports that Nintendo might be releasing a Wii Phone -- through this patent -- accessory that would work in conjunction with the Wiimote.
There had been some rumors last year about adding a microphone to the controller, and Nintendo has been taking advantage of internet based services with the Wii console, lately. This combination could possibly lend itself nicely to some type of VoIP service

sounds good, but i doubt nintendo would make a wii phone, they'd probably just use the DS, it already has a microphone and speakers, and any keypad arrangement on the touchscreen. Just use the download play feature to get the software and connect to the wii

Those patents are for a generic cell phone that plays games. Not a cell phone that you play games with.

Highly unlikely but it would be useful if when playing a game and recieving a call the phone pauses the game and lets you answer. It'd save me shouting at the mrs to answer the phone :)
