>instead of having some sort of bulky gamer headset, you’ll be able to do it right off your smartphone, put in your earbuds that you use for your standard mobile device. We think that’s a pretty sweet solution. That’s part of the overall opportunity that we see in a subscription service.
Sheeeiit...

>you pay us for the opportunity to use your phone as a voice communication device
I already pay my fucking phone provider for that you faggot.
So how exactly does this work?
Does it connect with random strangers the same way it does everywhere else?
Or does it only let you add friends and use chat through there, completely independent of the Switch itself?
'Cause if it's the latter, that sounds pretty fucking dumb. You're paying Nintendo to use your phone for its intended purpose you would have used it for anyway.
>put in your earbuds that you use for your standard mobile device. We think that’s a pretty sweet solution.
Yea, I do this with my PS4 controller every day..
This
Has been available on the Xbox one as well just more buggy
So he just implied the Switch doesn't have a headphone jack.
I'm assuming that's because he's bad at his job, not because it doesn't have a headphone jack.
The Switch has a headphone jack, right?
So will the app sync up with your game and provide game audio through that same set of headphones?
Because if not, then what the fuck is the point.
Well you cant charge and stand the tablet due to the charging port being under the tablet , so in order to do that you need to buy a plastic stand retailed at $30 I believe
Yeah Nintendo may have forgotten the jack output as well
yes, on the switch itself, but not on the joycons or the controller, so good luck if you want to plug it in your TV and play far away. You'll need a headphone with a long cable
Obviously they'll have official Nintendo bluetooth headsets.
>Obviously they'll have official Nintendo bluetooth headsets.
For what? Your phone? That'd be fucking hilarious.
A. My phone can let me talk with people without having to pay extra and I have different apps to choose from.
B. I don't want to use my phone's battery for this.
C. Seperate audio is shit.
D. It's more inconvinient for me in every possible way to have to use my console + controller + phone + headphones + the app than to just use my console + controller + hadphones.
E.There's a headphone jack right there on the Switch. Let me use that or let me connect a wireless headset via bluetooth.
F. Just put a fucking jack on the controller.
I don't even like voice chat, and I can tell how shit this is.
It does. It's on the top side towards the right.
So I'm just making a phone/discord call? Why would I pay Nintendo to use my phone?
>hey guys, what if, instead of having our users connect their headsets to our systems, let's have them connect through their phone instead!
>let's also make subscription based!
Fucking genius!
So why not use any of the free apps that let you chat with other people?
I don't see how it could do that without synchronization issues unless they also expect you to connect your phone to your Switch via bluetooth to pass the audio to your phone or to your speakers.
How will earphones even work in duo audio? Your phone syncs with your switch to give you audio from the game and the voice chat? What the fuck Nintendo
Because they bundle it in with being able to play online at all. They probably don't expect many people to bother using voice chat anyway, but they'll sure add it in to the price.
Why does it seem this is lost in translation and everyone is getting heated for no reason?
>2014
>hey nintendo get with the times we all have smartphones now
>2017
>waaaaah why do you expect us all to have smartphones now?
There's no reason not to. It's just an extra bulletpoint to charge people money for in the online subscription.
Because Reggie was speaking English in the interview quote OP greentexted.
>tfw i actually have a headphone with long ass cable (9.8ft/3meters) but i use my monitor
fucking ath ad900x with its long ass cable.
>guy literally spoke in English, because he's a literal native English speaker
>lost in translation
What?
No one ever suggested Nintendo charge us to do what we can do on our phones without paying them.
?
What are the fucking benefits?
Why don't I just get a group call going on my unlimited talk phone plan???
There's honestly no worst damage control then reggie damage control. I think its so bad it could even give Don "we have a console for offline people, its called the 360" Mattrick a run for his money.
>not only to console users pay for online
>they now even have to pay to use their phones
PC never stops winning.
This is so fucking stupid
Why wouldnt i just use one of the billion free communication services
But Reggie, I already have Discord
>No one ever suggested Nintendo charge us to do what we can do on our phones without paying them.
no one suggesed you pay if you got other means to do it?
the real new is that you need to pay to play online, anything else can be done for free in other ways
nintendo is giving you an additional option here, offloading all communication to your dedicated communication device is is a good idea imo
Might as well skype
either its to protect kids or the online cant handle voice chat. SSB4 couldnt voice chat for connection reasons, they even fukcing sadi it
>2014
>Hey nintendo why are you still expecting us to use third party devices and softwae to chat during videogames?
>2017
>Thank you based Nintendo for making a subscription-based version of skype!
>We think that’s a pretty sweet solution
wow
what a piece of shit company nintendo has become
Nintendo are unbelievably out of touch
they're still thinking of how to compete with the fucking xbox 360
>you won't have to use those bulky gamer headsets!
yeah dipshit nobody has used those in 4 years
How fucking isolated from the rest of the world do you have to be to think people will pay for this when free alternatives already exist?
...
>can't use voice chat unless you pay
>have to do it the same way you could just do it for free
Fuck off.
wtf is your point? do it for free then
the limiting factor is paying to play multiplayer online, literally the same deal as microsoft and sony, you're just grasping at straws to make nintendo seem extra greedy
Sony doesn't charge me for voice chat you hypocritical faggot.
They do charge you for eshop purchases though
The point is I don't want to use my fucking phone.
>they charge you for purchases though
You mean like literally every single purchase interaction in the history of time?
I don't know why I posted that.
so use one of the million free options? are you retarded? use your ps4 chat for all i care.
why do you suddenly want nintendo to make you a free voice chat service?
webm related
is2.Sup Forums.org/wsg/1484321096344.webm
Because it's a standard feature in every other console dating back to the Xbox, including the fucking WiiU.
I don't have a smartphone or a data plan. I'm not paying another hundred, another fifty a month and then whatever Nintendo charges on top of that when every other console and pc lets me use a twenty dollar headset. Dropped.
i bet this shit uses my data.
fuck this, what's stopping me from opening a channel in discord to chat while i'm playing?
>rebuying classic games
Nintendo are so fucking greedy.
They need to fuck off already.
>why do you suddenly want nintendo to make you a free voice chat service?
I don't. Nintendo suddenly decided to make a paid voice chat service for your fucking cell phone.
I didn't post any random demand for Nintendo to make a voice chat service.
This interview would be less embarrassing if he said "we didn't think you needed us to make a voice service since you can just use discord".
Why would you ever want to voice chat with any of the actual children playing Nintendo games online?
Other players. You'll have to set up a new one every game, maybe every round if teams scramble. And do you think everyone will join in the first place?.
Nintendrones don't hear the same thing as you and I when their overlords speak.
>voice chat
>ever, for any reason
Normalfags out.
Imagine if you have to use the phone app for matchmaking, messaging and friend list services
Even if you dont give a shit about voice chat you can recognize that this is not only incredibly fucking useless for people they do, but even more stupid for them to impliment.
Why would I use a paid app on my phone to talk to my friends when i can use the exact same call functions on the phone to talk to my friends? Or free over skype/discord/whatever?
It's not fair
