Thank goodness I don't care about voice chat!

Because you don't have anyone to talk to anyway, or is that only me? :L

Nope, definitely not only you.

So anyone wonder how ppl're gon use this mobile phone voice chat while still keeping both hands on the controller? Or when you decide to leave the app open and you suddenly get a phone call or any notifiication that interrupts the program? Just food for thought

LOL at some of the defenses. Its just Ninty not wanting to "copy" the competition and doing something worse just for the sake of being different. If you cant do better than what is already on the market and what has been working for YEARS. Then you dont need to "challenge" anything. When it comes to online Ninty is the worse they shouldnt be trying to challenge anything, they need to master the basics first (coughfriendcodescough)

I just don't understand why Nintendo seem to find it so hard to implement things their competitors have had down pat for so long. Xbox Live has had chat through the system itself since the original Xbox, but Nintendo can't do it on a system launching in 2017? It's like they go out of their way to shoot themselves in the foot.

Of Course that Nintendo can do that in 2017. (you said your self Xbox had that 15 years ago), but Nintendo is taking different approach, it seems they want to take use of smartphones that everyone had and to connect them more with their hardware.

I don't say that's good thing, but again we have here classic Nintendo where they managing things different than competition.

you dont say its a good thing, cause its not. Why take a different approach when its worse?

Because IMO Nintendo thinks thats actually more modern approach. :D

The thing is though, the  rest of the industry already has a proven system that works well, whereas Nintendo's approach (if another device is necessary) adds problems and complications. They would've been better off just using what works.

Agree, but like wrote they actually think they using more advanced approach even it's obvious it's more complicated. :D

In what possible way could a smartphone app improve voice chat that couldn't be implemented in an app on the Switch itself?

You made this big long post about how Nintendo is trying to change the way we use voice chat, and how giving people options halts progress, but you never said what that progress was.

There are several clear downsides to using an app for voice chat instead of having it built into the system, and to defend it you've had to use really broad statements about technological progress. That alone should tell you this is a dumb idea.

If I knew the answer to that, I wouldn't be talking to you, I'd be selling the idea. It's not my job to know how to make a product work, but I can be open minded, and there's reason to be, as made obvious in that post.

What are those clear downsides, by the way? Enlighten me.

The clear downside is needing an app and an ancillary device to do everything that the Vita could do in 2011. I used to be able to howl at the moon without doing a voodoo dance around a burning barrel. No matter the platform. Now, with the Switch, there's a cememony involved. No.......NO! C'mon man. You see this.
