Topic: Switch Online Question

Okay so I don't have a Switch yet (but one's coming soon woohoo), but I do have a question about the online thing. I know you can use it on Splatoon and Mario Kart but can you use on Single Player games? Like could I be playing BotW and still talk to my friends? I would really like to know this. Thanks!

No, unfortunately not...

...and you can't chat in Mario Kart either - just Splatoon for now.

Oh, and you can't chat outside of the game either, or even outside of the specific lobby within the game - or even DM your friends...

TL;DR: Use Discord instead

As far as voice chat goes Sony does what Nintendon't.
