There has been plenty of talk and a fair amount of speculation about Splatoon possibly receiving voice chat support. Unfortunately, however, the title won’t make use of the feature at all. GameXplain has confirmed with Nintendo that Splatoon will not offer any sort of voice chat support.

Nintendo will add Ranked Battles to Splatoon following the game’s launch in May, the company has confirmed.

As for what Ranked Battles entail, they’re entirely about objective gametypes. Players will need to have obtained level 10 in online Turf Wars – which was first shown at E3 2014 – in order to participate.

According to a Nintendo representative:

“Once you reach level 10, you’ll be able to play Ranked Battles. However, we’ll be watching the global progress of how many people reach level 10 and, once that’s hit a certain threshold, we’ll turn that on for everyone to play.”

Regarding the decision, Nintendo feels that Turf War will provide players will enough experience with Splatoon’s core mechanics. Nintendo is also emphasizing that these skills are necessary to succeed in Ranked Battles.

Ranked Battles will use a dynamic leveling system that matches players of similar skill levels in online battles. Letter grades are implemented, beginning with C-, and is independent of the player’s overall level.

TIME has put up another round of quotes from Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. There is plenty of additional mobile talk (such as how he isn’t a fan of the term “free-to-play”), but other topics were discussed as well. Iwata commented on the Wii U’s launch price, how Shigeru Miyamoto’s involvement with the New 3DS led to the inclusion of super-stable 3D, how the characters in Smash Bros. are technically toys, amiibo, and rumors about Netflix’s live-action Zelda series (which are apparently inaccurate).

We’ve rounded up Iwata’s comments below. If you’re interested in checking out TIME’s original report, head on over to this link.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata touched on the company’s new gaming system, NX, during an interview with Japanese publication Nikkei. He suggested that the company’s plan is to surprise gamers, as simply expanding upon existing hardware makes things “dull.”

Iwata’s full words:

“However, if you only expand upon existing hardware, it’s dull. In some shape or form, we’re always thinking about how we want to surprise players as well as our desire to change each person’s video gaming life.”

That’s all that was shared about NX. We’ll have to wait until next year for any concrete details!
