This is soo dumb. The Switch online is making the Wii U look like a blessing.

Reggie wasn't lying. Nintendo really isn't competing with Sony and Microsoft at all. With this approach they are basically pushing all gamers away TOWARDS Sony/Microsoft. I wonder what (non-existing) audience they are aiming for then?

This is retarded. Just put a mic on the Switch (or Joy-Con R or Pro Controller), how hard is that?

You have to put in on every single controller means also Joy-Con L and Joy-Con R. Would increase the costs and everyone else would even more complain than they are doing right now.

I personally have no issues using my Smartphone for Voice Chat, but I don't even use voice chat at all.

If that is their line of thinking, and they're going to charge through the nose for extras anyway, why not just handle it like that?

Maybe it's only a case where having voice chat activated throughout a gameplay session sucked the battery too fast? Anyone thought of that?

But that wouldn't excuse that they also left it out for those who play it docked...



I think their just trying to keep it family friendly that's all.
