You dont know that.

If that was the case nitnendo wouldnt have even bothered mentioning all this "do it on the phone app".

It sounds like you CANNOT do it without a phone.

Right now your wrong about what your saying.

I hope you turn out right, and nintendo PR just f***ed up their messageing.

but it really sounds like your wrong.

Yes, I actually know that. You can play online without the app.

Ive seen that page before and read it.... where does it say what you claim?

also think about it... why would reggie say the things he did about voicechat/lobbies/matchmakeing useing a phone app, if that wasnt true?
