There are few things in life more annoying that Nintendo Switch's voice chat app.

While it's great to be able to speak to your friends remotely while playing a cheeky game of Kirby's Dream Course online (come on, we've all done it), syncing the app to your Nintendo account and holding your phone close to you while playing is just way too much faff to bother pulling off half the time.

While an external voice chat app can prevent slowdown, there's no reason Nintendo can't invest a little bit in better integrating a voice chat system with gameplay itself.

Doing so would streamline the online play process massively, and may even encourage more people to play with their friends online, without having to worry about access to an additional fully-charged device to do so.
