What in the actual fuck Nintendo...

The Switch is shaping up to be my primary console for multiplat games for portability purposes, but this shit is a hige set back. I had a feeling it was coming, but I had no idea it would be this bad!

Just use an app on your phone if you want voice chat. Don't bother with this current planned setup.

Guys, just use a phone app. Seriously. The headset looks awesome but the setup for this looks far too complex.

This Discord thing I've heard about, is there a phone app for that? Just use that or any other app for talking.

Yes, there's a phone app for Discord, but that wouldn't be integrated with the Switch itself, which means you can only do online chat with people that you planned to do it with beforehand.

So what if it isn't integrated with the Switch? I would text people beforehand if I wanted to chat with people then.

"Hey Joe, let's play some Fifa or Splatoon 2"

"Cool what time you on?"

"5 pm"

"Okay, cool. Will be there then"

I don't know, seems pretty simple.
