Monster Hunter Tri USA Might Talk More and Pay Less

According to a few reports and interviews, Monster Hunter Tri in the US MIGHT include Wii Speak support and eliminate the online play fee present in the Japanese version.
As you might know, the Japanese version of the game not only does not have Wii Speak for online play, but it includes a monthly fee if you want to keep playing it online (sort of the point of the game). This side of the ocean, however, the story might be a little different. Here's what they have to say about the online fee.
It's something that we're looking into at the moment and there are a few factors to consider. Firstly, Monster Hunter isn't as popular in the West, so it might put people off. Secondly, Japan doesn't have Friend Codes, so Capcom run all the servers and the monthly fee is essentially to pay for those costs. - Chris Kramer, senior spokesman for Capcom USA. (GamingUnion)
As for the Wii Speak support, they know it's something many people want (and to be honest, only a handful of games include).
We're looking into right now whether it's technically possible or not. And so if it is, maybe we'll make an announcement. If it isn't, you know, if it realistically can't be done, then I'm sorry we may have to leave it out. But we're looking into it. - Ryozo Tsjmoto, producer for Capcom. (G4)
