This comment actually made my eye twitch it's so bad. Congratz on that.

Ohh I'm sorry, did you think was witty or something?

Nintendo could easily choose to either put a microphone on the Switch or the joycons/pro controller, as they did with the DS, 3DS, Wii and Wii U, or put the microphone jack in a location that it's accessable while it's docked. These are choices Nintendo made that they technically were not forced into due to other critical aspects of the design that did they could not reasonably change. All of the PCBs in the Switch are custom, as is the casing. That means that they could put the microphone jack where ever they wanted. Also, considering the inclusion of a microphone would cost Nintendo about one cent per unit, it likely cost Nintendo to develop and maintain the Nintendo App on phones than they would ever spend including a microphone, there's no cost reasons either.

There are no technical reason why Nintendo couldn't have have voice chat built into the Switch. None.

Still struggling I see.

Mic in Switch, useless when docked.

Mic in joycon, useless for motion control games like ARMS/Just Dance.

Switch is built for portable gaming and 2 player gaming. Using a smart device is a better solution.
