Nintendo GameChat - Trailer | Nintendo Switch 2 Direct

Get a closer look at Nintendo Switch 2 GameChat, a new feature for Switch 2 that lets you chat to your friends and family while playing a game. This can be used in handheld and docked modes. On the right JoyCon 2 there’s also a new button, the Switch 2 C button, which opens the chat menu. Nintendo Switch 2 Camera can also be connected to the system to video chat. See these features in action in games like Mario Kart, Splatoon, Nintendo Switch Sports, and more. The Nintendo Switch 2 Camera will be available on the same day as the Switch 2 on June 5, 2025.

GameChat will be available with a Nintendo Switch Online membership, with an Open Access period available for a limited time.

At least they are being honest about the lag

[markedone]

Who the hell wants to watch multiple 10 fps streams

[trx-cu]

is it just me or is the audio and the visual not matching up

[Vrillionaire]

This would have been so cool 15 years ago!

[Vintagesonic]

3:21 Yes, thank you Nintendo for telling me that is a special effect and doesn't happen in real life.

[alextraordinary]

Nintendo casually preparing for the next pandemic lockdown experience

[catmandeke]

Good to see they still haven't figured out how chat works.

[wolhol]

i hope there is an option to use voicechat without having huge af boxes in the bottom of the screen XD

[GigaVids]

game chat is a new feature ? we had this for 2 decades now on every other console and pc

[AlexScriptAI]

No matter how late this has come
What matters is that we will finally speak from the console itself

[CottoInTokyo]

And yet you still can't message people.

[Ikcatcher]

Nintendo really be charging for voice chat

[JanSzedlak]

789547th version of Mario Kart and Switch Sports, GREAT!

[FreshMetal]

Wow, in-game voice chat! What year is it? 2008?

[MiamiGameHunter]

The thing about gamers is that we want to look at the game, not a small screen alongside several faces.

[CYBRK]

I love how these trailers are always trying to make you believe that adults who play video games have these many friends to play with. In reality, usually, you're the only one who plays video games, alone.

[thejoker]

Wow... every other gaming system has had this for years... that doesn't take up half your screen.

[kasythelassy]

Imagine making us pay 20 dollar subscriptions to use a physical button

[Newalgo-yn]

The button press sounds like what id say in voice chat, so accurate

[Trudy-O]

Why have a special button for that? Why not just long press the home button? Seems so unnecessary.
