I love tweeting while watching my favorite shows live. I know alot of people who tweet, Facebook, text or blog while consuming forms of entertainment. This is in response to the second screen/device users. But in response to social networking habits. Not only for philosophical and personal moral reasons. And if that is a real concern, then charge your phone when you know your gonna be gaming online.īut ultimately, I agree with a poster above that we need to wait and see this in practice before deeming it a failure. Battery life in phones is pretty darn good nowadays. But I will bet much more (potential) Switch owners will have some kind of smart device of some kind than those who don't.įurther, the dead battery thing is also a flimsy excuse.
Wed 1st Feb I call shenanigans on anyone who owns a current gen, $300 console, but doesn't have a phone."Use your phone" means "Have 2 devices on your wifi instead of 1" not "use your phone data." Regardless of if it's a good plan or not to have to use a phone, "using your data plan" is not one of it's problems. The only time that would be beneficial would be if it's a secure device for corporate/governmental purposes that can't be put on anything but the secure wireless network (in which case, why oh why are we playing Splatoon with it? ) Unless you leave your phone off WiFi and on mobile data.but who DOES that? Not only does it eat your mobile data when it doesn't have to, but the cell radio eats battery faster than the wifi radio too. But if you're near WiFi for your switch, that's what you're using for your phone too. If your switch is NOT near wifi, then your phone is probably your hotspot for the Switch anyway. If your switch is near wifi, your phone should be on wifi too - it's using the same net connection. I'm not sure where people are getting that. So for Splatoon friends/team makes sense (you don't have a team if they're not on your friends list after all.) That's Splatoon specific for now though, that doesn't say what, Activision or EA might do.īut don't fall into that "it's using my phone data" trap I've seen from a few people here. Not many people will be able to communicate anyway in open forums. VC on most platforms is friends list based unless it's the COD type open chat lobbies (and who over the age of 13 has any tolerance for that?) Most of the player base in Splatoon is in Japan. Wed 1st Feb Friends list isn't the odd part.What remains to be seen on whether or not Nintendo's system bodges that up. Having friend based voice chat was realistically about as far as things were going to get. Given Nintendo's history on these things, anyone who expected voice chat with randoms in this game was naive in the extreme. If you're lucky, you'd find one other English speaker, and - assuming they even had voice chat enabled - that wouldn't exactly lead to a cohesive team dialogue.
Practically all of the matches play have two or more Japanese players on the same side. Nintendo really missing out on this opportunity.Īnd with respect to a mute button, IMO no voice chat in random battles in preferelable to asymmetric voice chat, in which one team is synched up due to no 'mutes' or by a shared language, while the other team was composed of (say) two mutes, an English, and a Japanese speaker. Surely Nintendo hasn't 'succeeded' at online until a random child from the other side of the world tells you so go commit some sort of sexual act with a close relative. But I won't get to hear random American kids yelling insults at random Japanese kids and the whole thing devolving into a toxic, incomprehensible shambles in which no one achieves anything more than they would have done without voice chat.
