From Nintendo's wording of things it seems a lot of online features are used/access with an application. And it's not clear whether it's the only way to access them on or additional one. Nintendo needs to clear this up asap

Wow. They need to clarify this asap if they pretend to ask for money.

yeah they are having a serious communication issue right now. they just arent clear. i have a hard time believing the social features are going to be used solely on a smartphone app, but if its true then holy fuck.

I do like more integration with other things like phones, but I think the Switch will at least have a microphone :/
