It's a big step towards compared to concurrents.
I'm not a person that like's voicechat.
But chatting writing test message isn't something particle you can do with a controller.
So using your mobile device for this is smart.
Also following online info while on the go, using smartphone as connecting hub to play online while outside : damn thing about the possibilities.
I'm sure that there will also be options to play online without owning a smartphone
Looking at the Japanese tweet, I don't see anything that says this is the only way to play with friends like the translation kind of implies
Socom 2 on ps2 had a better way of voice chatting, switch is more than strong enough to handle this.Are you a technical engineer?
So fucking dumb. That app shouldn't be the main fucking way to play with a friend. I've got a phone, but say I get my son a switch, I'm not gonna be fucking around with multiple phones just to get a match together. Wtf is Nintendo thinking? They need to drop this app shit asap. I don't see how this idea got past anyone.
I don't give a damn about voice chat, but you really better be able to setup games with pals without an app.
Yeah. You can't trust "rough" translations. They've turned out wrong before. I need a Nintendo fucking Direct in English from Nintendo to clear this up.Looking at the Japanese tweet, I don't see anything that says this is the only way to play with friends like the translation kind of implies
Hey Nintendo,
I have an idea.
What if the app
was on
the Switch.
WHOA! Mind-blowing idea, right? Then we could do lobbies without having to hold a phone in our other hand like a moron.
OG XB did it and it had 64MB of ram total.
You can send messages from your phone with the PS4 or Xbone, or check friends, buy stuff, etc...
The problem is not that it uses a smarpthone, everyone understand it's good. The problem is that it's mandatory, and there's no solution to do it with the console.
But what do you connect your headset to? The phone? The console? What do you hear? The chat? The game sound? Both?
This answers nothing if that, does it?
Are you a technical engineer?
That'd mean less resources (memory/processing) for the game and more to the OS.
I have a better idea
*continues using Steam chat like he's done with the Wii U*
And the ram available for the game would have been less in that case too.
Perhaps Nintendo wanted more ram for the games because the console is also under powered. You're forgetting the games on the OG XB aren't as demanding as those on the Switch.

Nintendo defense force out in full swing I see.And the ram available for the game would have been less in that case too.

You're really reaching to make an excuse. The memory footprint and cpu overhead for it would be minuscule. Whatever their reasoning for it is, I really doubt it's about freeing up resources.

Weren't the defenders of "no voice chat at all" in Splatoon presenting using Skype as an alternative. Well this is it.Still dumb as fuck.
Who wants this?
so a kid has to ask for a smartphone to his parents?
lmao

Draining your phone's battery too is so much better.prolly afraid it would kill battery life
99% of them already have them aka what's wrong with society today.so a kid has to ask for a smartphone to his parents?

It doesn't say you need the phone app to play with friends. I'd be kind of baffled if Splatoon 2 removed basic friend functions that even Splatoon 1 had.
Shit like this makes me not want to buy this thing. Who fucking thought that this is a good idea?
This needs to happen ASAPYeah. You can't trust "rough" translations. They've turned out wrong before. I need a Nintendo fucking Direct in English from Nintendo to clear this up.

The cool thing is that this comes up to be as the translation say it will debunk every most claims the "no chat apologists" were saying. Which would be a triumph of logic and reasonable discurse XD

Then they need to come out and just say it. Every damn statement is this confusing mess of PR for the app and no information regarding exactly what it entails. Just come out and say what can be done with or without the app.
You're really reaching to make an excuse. The memory footprint and cpu overhead for it would be minuscule. Whatever their reasoning for it is, I really doubt it's about freeing up resources.
How Nintendo is handling the online services for the switch is really the worst thing about the system. Nothing I read about it instills any confidence that they know what they're doing.

If they system is so weak they can't do voice chat better just stop everything now because cutting that won't a huge difference. And I laughed at saying those XB games weren't as demanding as Switch games, the comparison is so off I won't even waste my time.
