By far the funniest part of the direct. Nintendo discovers voice-chat.

    So there is now a C-Button which opens the new Game Chat, which requires a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. This means if you don’t pay for their subscription, you will have a dedicated button on your controller which will most likely open a popup that tells you to buy their subscription. Great, I love it…

    Their example of what a game chat sounds like in Mario Kart is ridiculous

    “Let’s make a left up here”

    My brother in Christ you are on a track, you go where it tells you to go

    Also not enough swearing, insults, and slurs

      Sounds like there’s actually a free roam feature and an overworld in the new Mario kart game so this actually makes this conversation a possibility

      At least it seemed honest. But yeah, I feel like when you have only one other player in focus, it should try to stream in better quality. Must be capped by the output device.
