Learn the difference between fans and blockheaded console warriors, and why its bad to generalize.

Nintendo is just protecting their brand. I don't see what the problem is.
No, no one is defending the design. Other people have just turned this into a "lol Nintendo is shit" thread so people are defending Nintendo in general, especially since the Switch is pretty damn awesome..until this.
Bravery, courage, simplicity: Nintendo
FTFY.
Guys, fucking stop with the Nintendo Fans thing. :lol
There is plenty of Switch owners here that think this is the dumbest decision.
For the love of Christ, please. Shit is fucking pervasive and tired. I've called it out in loads of threads. Y'all just can't fucking help yourselves.
"They purposely made it stupid so that kids can't be bothered with it, thus protecting them from paedophiles".No, i mean even if the kids have parents who pay for everything and all, they won't have the patience to put up with such a set up.
Why do you only quote that part of my post?
Sure thing, Nintendo avatar.
sorry. lol wasn't really directed at anyone.
just frustrated at what the hell is going on with this.

Ehh, this is a Hori accessory, so it's not something Nintendo has in mind. I'll wait until Nintendo shows how this app is actually supposed to be used because we still haven't seen what it's supposed to do yet. Remember, this isn't Nintendo's solution to Voice chat, this is Hori's.

because I was responding to and agreeing with that part of your post specifically
The actual chat is being done and processed on the phone via the app and the wire that plugs into the switch is just for the game audio, right? I doubt that any chat functionality is built into the game/switch system.
I love my Switch. It doesn't change the fact that every decision they have made regarding online play or anything related to online play (voice chat) for the last decade has been shortsighted, idiotic, or needlessly complicated.

I love how ppl think this is Nintendo fans defending something, when everyone hear is clearly saying that this is stupid shit, but that doesn't mean this has to effect the whole company or the system for its value.Are people defending this design somehow?
Audio Jack (Number 6): For connecting commercially available headphones, microphones or headsets.

Nah its fine.
The design is bonkers as is, and I can't quite figure out why this solution is wired. I can think of multiple wireless passthroughs that could do this same thing. The solution itself is weird on top of a weird implementation.
Sure thing, Nintendo avatar.

This message is hidden because molnizzle is on your ignore list.
People have speculated that it is due to the joy-cons always using Bluetooth to communicate with the Switch itself. They'd cause interference with wireless headsets or something.
Using your phone as a speaker and microphone may actually be convenient if you're playing casually on the couch or whatever (assuming you can do that), but the headphone setup is just absurd. Also makes the bulky gamer headset comments from Reggie look pretty bad.

No. Nobody is actually defending this.

This thread is going in a predictable direction.
Sorry that I didn't read 22 pages of nonsense before posting.aaaannnndddd we have arrived here again

Ppl calling other ppl Nintendo fan defenders is just an easy cop-out to end the argument
Are you reading the same thread I am?
Not everyone, there are people in this thread who have defended it. Not surprising you've missed t though, I don't expect anyone to read 40+ pages of a thread. But it's happened, people were saying this was a good idea.
Sorry that I didn't read 22 pages of nonsense before posting.
It's going to be even worse.
"So Reggie, how the fucking hell are you going to listen to game audio and voice chat at the same time when the Switch is docked nine and a half feet away from you?"
"It's about the experience. Listen, this summer we'll have some great titles ready to be played online. ARMS, Splatoon-- all great, deep multiplayer experiences. And we think it's something you'll really want to try for yourself when the games launch. And I think it'll really blow you away."
"Reggie what the FUCK"
"That's a great question. And I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you of the unique features we're offering with the great online service we're launching later this year. You'll be able to play one of our fantastic NES titles free of charge, for a whole month."
"They purposely made it stupid so that kids can't be bothered with it, thus protecting them from paedophiles".
We've peaked. We will never hear a better excuse for anything than the one we've just witnessed.
