It's not what I'm saying, it's what Nintendo is saying.

“The smart phone app that we’re creating, that will be part of our online service, we believe is going to be a very compelling part of the overall proposition because that’s how you’ll voice chat, that’s how you’ll do your matchmaking, and create your lobby."

"Online lobby and voice chat

Our new dedicated smart device app will connect to Nintendo Switch and let you invite friends to play online, set play appointments, and chat with friends during online matches in compatible games─all from your smart device. 

 

A free, limited version of this app will be available for download in summer 2017."

So its the only way to do it. But it isnt available at launch. Hmmm maybe they think we could figure that theres other ways

They have not once said that there is, or will be any other way to do voice chat on the Switch. You don't think that with all the negative press they've gotten over this they would have clarified by now?



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
