Then again, so are you if you bought a Switch.

lmao

>More overpriced peripherals
Oh, joy.
That is fucking retarded. You have to have cables running everywhere and all you get is audio out. You still have to speak into the phone.
Why even bother drawing a set of headphones with a microphone if you can't even use it.

Also
>Phone depicted is an iPhone
Nintendo really is the apple of videogames.

I still don't understand why they have to fucking make everything so difficult.

>Reggie says "watching people play games is boring" so no streaming support, ignoring that not everyone streams for money or e-fame
>Says "bulky headsets are annoying" so they introduce a dozen new cords for you to trip over

I guarantee a third party will make an adapter to let you use a headset and none of this extra shit.

>>378735548
Uhhh it's hori's infographic

>>378735675
>I guarantee a third party will make an adapter to let you use a headset and none of this extra shit.
With the way you have to run a phone app for it to work, I don't think that's possible.
The only somewhat plausible solution I see is bluetooth headsets, but who wants to buy shitty bluetooth headsets?

It is on the splatoon twitter though, the japanese one at least. It's obviously a partnership, they can't just make something splatoon branded for free.

I need to see a live demonstration to see how stupid this really is

>>378735675
I'm guessing the point of the phone is so Nintendo can blame the phone and detach themselves if any controversy pops up. I can't think of any other reason to do this and I really doubt they are so incompetent that they think this is something people would want.

>>378735331

Fucking retarded

Looks like it's 3rd party shit.

>>378735331
honestly one of the dumbest things i've ever seen
why couldn't you just plug the headset into the switch?

>>378735548
>You still have to speak into the phone.
>Why even bother drawing a set of headphones with a microphone if you can't even use it.
You're speaking into the headset mic and that goes to the phone, which is handling the voice chat. The device then takes the phone's incoming voice chat audio and mixes it with the game audio coming from the Switch so you can hear both through the headphones.

Makes sense I guess. Even if this is a specific third party headset, I guarantee you the entire voice chat system is cell phone app based. It fits in with the mobility aspect of the console plus it saves the weak ass Switch's processing and battery power. This is probably more or less just to pump your chat audio and game audio all in one, and otherwise you'll just be shit out of luck having to hear them slightly apart.

Mark my words, they are this dumb and this is the real deal.

>>378735331
looks dumb, but on the other hand I don't care about voice chat so it's not my problem

>>378736967
This could have easily been fixed by adding a 3,5mm jack that accepts TRRS on the console itself. A lot of modern laptops got rid of the dedicated headphones/mic outs and combined into one that accepts things like cellphone headphones with inline mics.

>>378736842
This set is about $35-40, so maybe $20?

>>378735548
>Phone depicted is an iPhone
There's a headphone jack so it can't be an iPhone dude.

>>378736842
It's 3,480 yen (about 31 USD) for the headset and mixer.

You aren't able to talk to your friends through the system AT ALL, not even text.

The set with the Splatoon branded headset and adapter is like $31. An adapter alone will be like $15 if sold by Nintendo and $5-10 cheaper from a third party.

Because ultimately they decided on the smartphone app requirements.

PC gaming sure is expensive

I don't get all the confusion. It's nothing but a standard mixer that allows you to hear both game audio and voice chat while on the road. You obviously don't need it when docked or anything.

It's really nothing we didn't know already, except that some third party made an accessory.

I don't care for PC gaming, I just want to know why they are doing this nonsense with a console needing a phone instead of just a headset jack. Would it have tanked the console to install that port?

>>378739096
No matter how much you spend you'll never get Nintendo's GOTY like Zelda pcbro. Now shoo, go play your Greenlighted garbage.

>>378739146
Who knows, I have never used voice chat in games unless I wanted to micspam so I don't care.

>>378739184
The best thing about BOTW is you don't need a switch to play it.

>>378736990
This is the state of Nintendo fanboys.

>>378738951
It further implies that you can't do voice chat without a cell phone, which is the bigger problem and as far as I know had not been 100% confirmed. I also don't see why it would be obvious that you wouldn't need something like this while docked. There still wouldn't be any other way to get audio from two devices into headphones.

>>378738951
We don't really know how voice chat works when docked, but people are blowing the mixer out of proportion by calling it a special adapter and assuming it'll cost $50+ when this headset + mixer bundle costs around $30 or $35.

>>378739257
>There still wouldn't be any other way to get audio from two devices into headphones
You just get your game audio from your tv or whatever speakers you normally use

>>378739250

>>378738928
Good thing I have a life, so I can afford a PC. When your on McDonald's salary, I see why you can't

>>378738951
Except they posted it on their Twitter, making this official. This is now Nintendo's official solution to voice chat and they have to own up to how stupid it is and how ridiculous their previous statements are.

>>378739348
Not an argument.

>>378739316
Would a mixer this small require a power source?

>>378739331
you don't have to pay for the emulator.

>crashes

don't matter, playing the game in 4x its native fidelity.

only thing that matters is lack of motion controls

>>378739367
Nintendo posted "Oh shit it's that boi waddup?" on their Twitter. Does that mean it's official?

>>378739257
Maybe by being docked it will allow the user to use the jack for both audio and voice chat simply because of increased processing power and no battery power constraint.

>>378739367
>making this official
It's just an advertisement for the Splatoon branded bundle, mate. It's not the end all be all option for all voice chat.

Drones are actually retarded enough to defend this. As someone who loved Nintendo as a kid it's interesting to see how delusional some people are. They never rethink their opinions they're like some super politically indoctrinated person

We went from just being able to pair up wireless headsets and have chat on the background to having to do this setup.
Progress.

>>378739324
>whatever speakers you normally use

I normally use headphones. They give good quality for a much lower price than I would have to pay for an equivalent speaker system. I doubt I am the only person who does this.

Why does the Switch have to be attached? Can't I just use my phone with earbuds like I do now with discord?

>>378739515

There's a downside.

>>378739489

>>378739464
That's even worse then. Their previous suggestion was using the phone directly and ignoring the existence of "bulky" headsets.

>>378739557
Yes, you can do that. This is just for if you want to use a headset while also using the headphones for game audio in handheld mode.

>>378738290
Who cares about Account names. Steam lets you change your profile name and your account name is for login/security

>>378739663
It does not currently. I think they mentioned adding such things later although it may be through the phone app.

>>378739663
It's true. Unless it's hidden behind some shit, but I've looked and haven't found it and googling it shows other people confused by the lack of it.

>>378739704>>378739797

Oh, okay. I thought it was some weird authentication thing. It's no different from how I play on PS4 then. Discord is just more convenient.

>>378739789
And you still can. This is just for people who still want to use the headset and get both game audio and voice chat through the same channel.

You don't have to use the headset or the mixer and just use your phone and leave it at that.

Honestly? This is going to keep me from getting a Switch for Splatoon 2. I was hoping it would improve on 1, now it seems it's going backwards with this shit.

>>378740281
It is the end results that matter. Online play with 3rd party hardware to voice chat with friends vs online play with officially endorsed third party hardware for voice chat. I'm going to assume the officially endorsed chat will not be as good as the PC options, so it should end up being exactly the same as Wii U. No steps forward and an odd step to the side that is a waste of time.

If I cared AT ALL about talking to random people I would be upset by the idiocy of this.

Fortunately, I don't. And if I ever want to talk to people while playing I'll just sit on discord, ts or mumble with them instead of this bullshit.

>>378740509
It can, they've already said so. They just don't know if they'll do it. Probably to not fuck with the bluetooth controllers.

>>378740610

They even try to make their online games run at 60fps in handheld mode.

I'd be more angry about this if I cared about online gaming but it's still a pretty dumb solution for voice chat.

>>378735331
Neat. Don't care that much though cause splatoon doesn't need it.

http://nintendotoday.com/bluetooth-headset-nintendo-switch/
Considering you need this or some similar setup just to have wireless phones running on the switch, voice chat setup being this ass is not a surprise.

I do something weird but arguably more unholy and needlessly complicated.

When playing console, both the picture and audio goes to my monitor. I output the audio to a line in on my computer that I "Listen To" (becoming my computer audio) before both the computer audio and the captured game audio is outputted.

It kinda works.

Imagine how great this will be.

You invite your friend list to play Splatoon. Your friend then invites some of his friends. Now he's the only one who can hear both groups, and has to relay messages between them.

>Hey Brad, Larry says you should stick with the group.
>"Tell him to go fuck himself."

Honestly I don't get what is so fucking hard about just doing what is idustry standard at this point for Nintendo? What is with their fucking NEED to be different about everything even the shit that works and people like? Did that senile fuck Miyamoto have his hands in this? This seems like the kind of thing he would try except I would also need to balance the switch on top of my head while standing on one foot.

>>378741643
This is how that would work.

>"The one with the 6!"
>"There's two that start with a 6."
>recites the whole code
>"No, it's 64, not 62"

5 minutes later, someone's out of friend code slots, someone else lost interest and left, and you're still using a dumb phone adapter with three different wires to do this.

>>378741973

Miyamoto had nothing to do with the development of the Switch hardware wise.

>>378737906
the confusion is that on PC or PS4 I can do the same fucking thing by just plugging headphones into my ps4 controller or just plugging microphone into my PC which is fucking convenient because its a PC.

Why can't they just make headphones with microphone and just work on everything on switch?

>>378740938

>>378742015

>>378742121
You can register each other without friend codes if you're both within local wireless distance.

>>378741517
The headset is cheap tin can garbage, you can get an equivalent one sans the radicool design for less than a tenner.

>>378741643
There's still the hard limit for the number of friends you can invite. I think it's 300 only.

>>378741698

>>378741901

consoles are literal kids' playgrounds. I don't wanna hear their high pitched screams.

Thats if you want to use your own headset, but of you just have headphones, your phone is the microphone

Whats the issue portrayed here exactly?

Why have they used such a convoluted way of doing voice chat?

>>378738928
>>Need to buy a graphics card
>>Need to buy a CPU
>>Need to buy a motherboard
>>Need to buy a case
>>Need to buy RAM
>>Need to buy a powersource

This is basically the
>need to buy a console
also you don't need both SSD AND HDD

>>Need to buy a DVD/BluRay reader
No you don't, I am not using a disk drive for like 4 years

>>Need to buy a keyboard
>>Need to buy a mouse

>>Need to buy a desk

So its basically

>Need to buy a PC
>Need to buy a keyboard
>Need to buy a mouse
>Need to buy a headset
>Need to buy a monitor
>Need an internet connection

when it comes to pc gaming

the console one is also understandable for the most part except for

>Need to buy this connector or something
>Need to pay Nintendo's PS+

why the fuck do I need those to play and communicate in a game.

>>378742482
It essentially gets the same job done on the input. You just wouldn't be able to stop your mic output but maybe you can find one that only has the mic ring on one of the male ends?

>>378742582
It's not convoluted. You just hate Nintendo. If you don't already own a phone, why do you need a Switch?

>>378742513
It's funny how this is the go-to defense for drones given the Switch's largest demographic is 20-30 year old men given Nintendo's own statistics. Besides, do you guys never make friends online or something? Seems pretty lonely, maybe you wouldn't have to complain about the nips on your team in Splatoon if you actually made friends with people competent at the game.

>>378742432
>>378742452
This discussion is about online voice chat.
Why would you use that locally if you can just talk to them since they need to be in the same room anyway?

Holy shit, Nintendo apologists are really something else.

They're doing it to be kiddy-friendly. They don't want to associate the Switch with voice chat. It's so obvious.

why can't i just plug my usb headset into the usb ports on the side of the dock?

>>378742875
No, you still use your headphone mic. The phone is basically just for Nintendo's Discord.

Its REALLY stupid and complicated, I cant even defend the voice chat solution Nintendo came up with. Just a dumb idea that mars a pretty comfy experience so far.

>>378735675

>>378743002

>>378742970
Jesus, How did Nintendo even come up with an idea like this?

>>378742982
In app streaming like the other 2 consoles.

>>378742982
Just because Reggie thinks something is boring doesn't mean he should lock off that option for some of his customers that don't. How would having that there even affect the people that don't care about streaming? It would just be another option for the people that do. I wonder if Reggie also doesn't enjoy a certain genre of video game. I sincerely hope he makes it so none of thise games release on switch because he doesn't like them.

>>378743098
ah, gotcha.
Those apps suck though, hardly anyone that does serious streaming on Twitch uses that.

>>378743152
>How would having that there even affect the people that don't care about streaming?
It would impact performance, add another thing for developers to test, and upset some publishers who are anti-streaming. No stream support is much easier to justify than their voice chat.

>implying skype isn't

>>378735331

>>378743516
Are you fucking serious?
THAT'S why it needs to be combined like that?
Because Nintendo cannot merge in-game audio with voice chat in the game?

Are they pants-on head retarded?

There is no voice chat in the game. At all. That's why you need the phone.

>>378744167
Have you played any online Nintendo game roach?

>>378744061
You're right. There's no point in using voice chat in Splatoon. And since Splatoon is the only Switch game with voice chat, there's no point in having voice chat at all.

I'm glad we've solved this problem. Boy, why does anyone even want voice chat in the first place?

Considering how there's a problem with pedophiles soliciting children through Nintendo services (not that you'd expect anything more from Nintendo fans), it's completely fair to implement voice chat in the most obtuse way possible so children aren't getting into it.

fun games. PS4 headset doesnt shoot game audio out from the controller, or even if you connect via bluetooth. To get PS4-level functionality, just cut out the game audio wire and simply connect to phone for voice chat, same amount of wires. Still really stupid.

>>378744758
You talk into the headset's microphone if you're using it. If you're not using an external headset, you just use the phone's receiver and speaker directly.

>>378740340
This that shit was wireless years ago but now Nintendo comes out with this console and take two full steps back. Im surprised you can even charge the switch instead of it being 6 AAA batteries in the back

>>378744931
For Splatoon 2, its gonna use the app. They've made that much clear. Probably will be the same for all Nintendo games. At this point, I dont see there being an on-board solution available even for third parties, you're gonna need the smartphone app

It's twelve numbers for each username instead of trying to put in a 20 character usernames with stupid symbols and capital letters in different places. And you can send a friend request without the code by meeting them in game.
