Kimishima on including voice chat in Splatoon 2, looking to “invigorate the competitive gaming scene”

This information comes from Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima…

Splatoon 2 in particular will offer voice chat, a much-requested feature from our overseas fans, using smart-devices and the ability to bring eight Nintendo Switch systems together for eight-person local multiplayer. In this way, we are working to create titles and environments to invigorate the competitive gaming scene so that a wider demographic of customers can enjoy, talk about, and continue playing the Nintendo Switch.
