Gamers will have a new way to communicate using their Nintendo 3DS as a new voice and text application hits the Japanese eShop next week.

Not unlike similar services on our smartphones (WeChat, Line comes to mind), Minna no Oshaberi Chat allows you to send texts and even make voice calls on your portable console.  The app features calls via WiFi which supports upto four people while the chat component can handle up to ten people.

Just like all things great, Minna no Oshaberi Chat is currently a Japan only offering.
