I've been thinking and this just seems very confusing. So from what Nintendo has revealed so far (and what Reggie said), you can use voice chat only through your smart phone by plugging in your earphones. If that's the case how exactly do you hear the game if you're voice chatting to someone through the earphones? 

Do you have to unplug one earbud so that you can listen to the game with one ear and listen to your friend with the other? What if you use a USB headset? Do you have to wear the headset over you earphones? How does this even work if the console itself doesn't have voice chat functions built it?

Set your phone to speaker phone? ei. dont use ear buds with it.

Good point! Thats will be interesting.......

Maybe the app will just be used to get everything set, but you can still plug your ear phones to the Switch and hear everything else while chatting with them.............. lol throwing unknowledgable shit here XD 

I still don't understant that choice. It seems prettt much useless.

Probably.

GENIUS!!! Can we kickstart an ad?

That's a very good question. Realistically it sounds like Nintendo's voice chat solution is going to be largely useless.

Only if we also get the realistic cut too where he starts playing his phone and Switch really loud and the rest of the passengers beat him to death.

He starts playing Arms on the cramped seat, and accidentally punches his Switch into the seat in front of him.

I think that it's possible that there could be an miscommunication on the concept on the site. I think that we will still have standard voice chat on the Switch with our headphones, standard logic applies here. We also have the ability to use an app on our phone to keep in contact with our friends. We can set up events, have a party chat, and just hang out over the app while we are out and about with our lives. I get the feeling that if this is the case, we're going to see a lot of no-life gamers online 24/7 while they go run errands.
