It should have options, if Nintendo isn't dumb. Mix the audio like your standard gaming headset, or choose to only listen to chat and have the audio come through the TV, or have it all on the TV.

 

M$ and Sony already do it that way. You can even choose to use Kinect for voice chat and have the sound come from the TV back on the Xbox 360. Even offer different volume options for chat and game audio.

That would simplify stuff sure. So you think the phone app will have the "voice chat" come through the TV and blend in with the game audio?

Controllers already do it (PS4/Xbox One) and they're not powerful at all. Phones can already stream content from the TV/internet if you use the PlayStation or Xbox apps*--which I do. Even my old free tablet that I got from Verizon a few years ago is capable. I'm sure Nintendo could do it.
