Nintendo has dished up the pricing for Wii Speak and Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City (with which it will be bundled) to SPOnG.
As Nintendo was keen to remind us, final pricing is set by retail, but the "estimated retail prices" run as follows:
Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City (Solus) - "around £40"
Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City and Wii Speak (Bundle) - "around £60"
Wii Speak Accessory (Solus) - "around £25"
That comes in at a higher amount than that charged in the US. Over there, the peripheral on its own costs $29.99 - £17 or €22 in real money. There is, however, sales tax to take into account when it comes to the American pricing.
Nintendo also confirmed that once the peripheral is purchased and the Wii Speak channel downloaded, the service is free.
This comes following the announcement that both Wii Speak and Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City will be released on December 5th.

compared to our 17.5% (which is probably why it's already added on) the American's is only 6.5% so it's only like (if my maths serve me correctly(which they probably don't)) $1.95
