This is just inexcusable. I get that Nintendo wants to focus on local multiplayer, and, in an industry dominated by the impersonality and anonymity of online gaming, I applaud that. But if your studio is making an online, team-based, tactical shooter, then that game better have support for voice chat. How are online players going to communicate and coordinate in Splatoon?

This really is a bone-headed decision. And it makes me far less interested in Splatoon.
