I think it'll be so much fun when you're playing a competitive match and suddenly someone calls and you lose the voice chat for a while XD.

I don't really see a single reason why this voice chat implementation is good in any way.

It's good because thanks to the offloading a few games more can run at 60fps in portable mode.

Well.... I don't think that's enough to convince me. It feels like a really clumsy, uncomfortable solution.

Well, there is nothing that they could've done. It's not like could've just picked more powerful hardware or take more time to bring more functionality to the device before launch. That's asking the impossible. The real victim here is Nintendo because they had just no choice in the matter.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Nintendo is incompetent when it comes to this. Nothing makes sense. I'll give you the argument that it helps when people are outside. But than why isn't it built into the system too. So when people who don't use it outside, don't do this dumb shit. If the system can't handle any of this for whatever reason. Than guess what. Nintendo is incompetent in software/hardware design. This is all moot. If I'm gonna use my phone. I might as well just facetime/whatsapp/discord/skype/1 million other programs my friend and skip the middleman.

Yeah, i'm done responding to anyone this thread. Juvenile crap like this makes me jaded.

Good decision




If you have anything you want to say for feedback, there is a feedback section in the settings of the app. Sure it may not solve all the problems but it should at least get the message out there to Nintendo. Just be civilized.

Oh, the irony XD. I think they should have thought about this more than they did. I think people will see it as a rather stupid solution to the voice chat problem, which is honesly what it is.

Aaand, because of that I'll surely write some feedback, politely. It's not a solution I'm comfortable with. I'll do that once I borrowed my father's smartphone, because the world suddenly decided that people need it for almost everything but pooing.

Will I be able to message or send any kind of acknowledgement to my Switch friends with this App?

You mean texting?

Because no. There is still no messaging system on the Switch. This app is no different afaik.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

I'd also like remind everyone of discord. A free, and much better option than this shit.

You can't lock your phone while using it.
