| TheMisterManGuy said: Yes, they could've included a mic, but they didn't (not sure why though), so this is what they have. |
Precisely. Hence why we are allowed to provide criticism where criticism is due.
| TheMisterManGuy said: A headset is only prefered by hardcore gamers due to it allowing for private communication. |
Hardcore gamers? ...I don't wear a headset, I prefer my full 5.1 sound system.
| TheMisterManGuy said: Nintendo doesn't target hardcore gamers the way Sony and Microsoft do though, so everything they do must involve the casual gamer, which means finding a method to appeal to them, thus open mic through phone. |
No way you spin it... Can make Nintendo's approach on this seem tenable. Hard Core or Casual, doesn't matter.
If anything it is even worst for a casual as they tend to be the last lot of people who want things to be more cumbersome and technical.
| TheMisterManGuy said: And again, most people who've used the app say it actually works well is way more intuitive than they thought. It's again, not the most perfectly implemented method, but it works and is easy to setup. BTW, the battery draining issues have been fixed in later updates as the app can now run in the background, even with the phone locked. |
The issue isn't if the app is working or not.
The issue is how cumbersome it is having to juggle other devices while you game, not to mention the extra battery drain.
