A few days remain until the official Nintendo Switch 2 launch, but unsurprisingly, reports are starting to surface of some fans getting their hands on the system early. The thing is, it’s not actually functional right now.

[Let’s Talk] Will you be using GameChat on Nintendo Switch 2?
Posted on 1 week 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.
