[Let’s Talk] Will you be using GameChat on Nintendo Switch 2?
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch 2 | 0 comments
One of the big new features Nintendo is touting for Switch 2 is GameChat. In fact, there’s even a button dedicated entirely to the functionality on the controller. You’ll need to be a Nintendo Switch Online member in order to use it, though it will be free initially – just for a limited time.
If you haven’t heard about GameChat previously, it’s pretty easy to understand. It’s basically a way for you to connect with friends online – up to twelve people can communicate. Additionally, if you connect a compatible USB-C camera, you can see each other while playing. Another neat wrinkle is the ability to share your screen in real time.

That’s regarding the game itself, by the way – not so much the $80 price tag. With all that said, some players are wondering if Mario Kart World has hidden characters or tracks that weren’t revealed in any of the pre-release material. While we don’t exactly believe that’s the case, we’re absolutely open to being proved wrong. The more content, the better! Here’s why we think Nintendo has shown most of Mario Kart World’s content (hypothetical updates and DLC aside).

Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
If you plan on using GameChat on Nintendo Switch 2, you’ll need a phone number. That news has been spotted in the official terms for the feature.

The company always takes the protection of its players seriously – especially younger ones.
