It's funny how inconsistent Nintendo is with communication in their games. You have games like Pokemon and Animal Crossing where you can freely talk with randoms, then Mario Kart and Smash Bros. only allowing friend chat, and finally Luigi's Mansion and Splatoon where you can't communicate at all. Make up your mind!

I guess real life Pokemon/Animal Crossing friends and strangers are nicer and safer for kids than a shooting game that require more complex controls

Its funny though, because kids are actively stepping away from those types of games. It's not the 90's anymore. Half the reason why so many kids had Nintendo was because of their parents or because of massive commercialism on the TV in the 80's and 90's. Today kids have more of an active voice with their purchasing power and parents are no longer holding them back because of rules. Back then parents were more stringent.
