I really do like Nintendo's online offerings... but the ONE flaw that kills it is voice chat. Seriously, having to use a phone app and go through all that hibbly-hobbly jaunch is a nightmare. I'll never understand why it's so hard for Nintendo to properly integrate this kind of stuff into their consoles.

Still skeptical... The Online Tax is going to suck, just like the other competitors' versions.

Mark my words.

It's cheaper than the other consoles, but whether it's a better deal is way too soon to call.

What ISN'T too soon is in how it pales in comparison to how PC does online, but we all knew this already.

One of the many reasons I dumped the PS and Xbox eco systems in favor of PC is the corporate tax they impose on online gameplay. I'm still disappointed that Nintendo decided to go this route with the Switch, even if it is cheaper. And with Mario Kart 8 DX, Arms, Monster Hunter XX, Splatoon 2 all year one titles, Nintendo's making sure you're hooked to its online multiplayer. Again however, at least it's yearly price is cheap, much cheaper than the competition.

Voice chat worked fine on the Wii U, so I don't understand why they decided to go this route. Oh well.

I'd highly suspect the reason is that the Switch simply doesn't have Microphone functionality, as a console.

In absence of any other explanation, it's the only one that really fits.

I'm guessing the chat app is required is to protect kids from the often nastiness world of online chat among gamers.

I can believe that. IIRC, one of the developers for Splatoon said that they kept online chat out for that specific reason.

...And yet, the irony is that a good portion of this nastiness is perpetuated by children themselves. So I guess it works both ways. Either way, I'm hoping that my preexisting headset will work with this.

Well... They tried. Unfortunately, the Gamepad mic didn't transmit very high-quality audio, so it was hard to understand what anyone was saying. At least it was just for in-between games of Smash Bros, so quick communication wasn't exactly necessary. (Tangental statement, but anyone remember that Smash Facts direct? "THE WII U GAMEPAD HAS... A MICROPHONE!!!") This may be one way to fix that, but I'm guessing it has to do more with the toxicity of the gaming fanbase.

The Nintendo Direct was SUPER hype!

I'm getting that Splatoon Octo Expansion, day one! Also, hoping that's a new SSB and not a port of 4. >>
