Never had voice chat in games before. Used it the other night for some drunken MK8. Worked fine. What's the difference in using Bluetooth headphones from your phone instead of the console? Seems like the same thing to me.
That said...I don't see myself using it all that much unless it's with friends I actually know.
I had to learn to use the stick for Hollow Knight. This does look like it would be much better for older games (Namco Museum, Donkey Kong, Punch Out, etc) that only used 4-way controls. Pro controller D-pad still seems not ideal for these games.
Been playing since launch (Level 32, urban area resident/player). Now with friends, it makes it so much more fun. It's a great little diversion and something to keep you moving.

Re: Excitebike Joins The Hamster Arcade Archives Collection On Switch Tomorrow
I know this is the arcade version and not the console version, but that's some bad timing on their part.

Re: Nintendo Reveals Upcoming NES Game Releases For Switch Online Service
I was going to actually get the 8bitdo mod for old NES controllers...then they hit me upside the head with those amazing Switch ones.
This entire Direct made my pants tight.

Re: Take On Block Man In The Mega Man 11 Demo, Now Live On The Switch eShop

Re: Hardware Review: Hori D-Pad Joy-Con Controller For Nintendo Switch

Re: Praise The Sun! Dark Souls: Remastered On Switch Has A Confirmed Release Date
