This could be huge for Switch games as it can ditch the archaic, backwards thinking option currently available and allow us to just use a simple voice chat through the game itself.

Nintendo sectarians always have silly hopes about Nintendo when a lot of them are old enough to know better and what will never happen. The switch is powerful enough for cross game chat and all sorts of features but Nintendo doesn't want to allow them. The ps vita which was released in 2011 has cross game chat and a lot of other features that aren't on the switch and it's possible for the switch to have majority of those features if Nintendo allows it. The vita has a way better online functionality than the switch with better features and it's a failed handheld which is astonishing because people have to pay for switches laggy online service while it's free on vita.

As a switch owner I'm so disappointed with the features, game selection, lack of third party games and online. I wonder if some switch sectarians will be holding their breath for apex legends

You must have bad taste in games. I am all digital and I have 30 games to play mostly 3rd party only 7 first party

Sell the system

Some of y’all are just crazy if I didn’t have fun with a system no way would I still have it, but y’all rather waste money to buy a system to not play games on it.......if you rather look at the system just do a google image search of how a switch look if you plan on not buying games

@Gemmol

What do you mean "have fun with a system" ?? Do you play the system? I think people buy them the future in mind, knowing that some well-known franchises will be exclusive to those systems. Switch of all consoles is the one that has most 1st party exclusive content, and just like all Nintendo systems, is guaranteed to have a few smash hits during its lifespan.

Same.

I was excited for the Switch and am definitely still a fan of the console but it gets turned on maybe once a month at this point. It has basically become a Hulu machine for my girlfriend.

I am hoping Fire Emblem and the mainline Pokemon game changes that for me.

They are behind voice chat in Fortnite for Switch so they have already proven to be successful at this. Nice news!

Gemmol2674d ago

Good news indeed for those who like voice chat although I have a headset that I share with switch and ps4 I barely use it

pietro12122674d ago (Edited 2674d ago )

That's good! Nintendo follow suit and get rid of the app it's pretty much useless for the most part.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing34d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit34d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing34d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9234d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
