Most of the Nintendo audience were upset when we heard the news about Splatoon having no voice chat online. Mario Kart 8 was perfectly fine without Voice chat because it's a racing game, and we don't need to hear 11 other players voices online. But an online MULTIPLAYER not having voice chat?! At first I didn't mind it at first because the game was so much fun! But later after awhile it got boring because it was the same old thing.... Voice chat really helps making online multiplayer feel like new. I only play Splatoon once every 2 weeks just for 20 minutes then I get bored and play something else. Having no voice chat also made the mulitplayer stressful at times because you can't communicate with your teammates AT ALL.  When I blast up in the air and come straight down, I get killed... this would be VERY useful for voice chat to help me "Hey protect me, I'm coming over to you!". I give Splatoon a  7 out of 10. If it had voice chat, I would give it a 9 out of 10. Nintendo really messed up by not putting voice chat. Shame....  

This is my problem with voice chat. As you said it would be very useful, and when something is useful it gives you an advantage over the people not using it. Having voice chat basicly forces everyone else to use voice chat least they lose out on the advantage. I would really hate to be forced to used voice chat.
