◆ Using voice chat while gaming

When playing online in supported games, you can use voice chat with your friends via this app. How you use voice chat depends on the game and mode you're using - for example, when you split into teams in Splatoon 3, you can choose to use voice chat just with your team members so that friends on the other team won't know your next move.

As everyone else says. This app is only good as a splatoon companion. The app really shines as a companion app for both splatoon 2 and 3, seeing stats, schedule, gun usage, even crusty seans bike adventure where you use your hard earned turf inkage to get rewards. It’s brilliant! But aside from that the app is useless. I don’t get why there aren’t similar companions for almost every Nintendo title? Where you can see stats and other little things. But as it stands there are only 4 titles. 2 of which are almost useless (though a proper animal crossing companion would have been great, stats, milestone tracker, more exclusive items, and so so much more). There could be mario kart, super Mario wonder, the legend of Zelda breath of the wild / tears of the kingdom, super Mario odyssey. Basically any and all Nintendo titles could use a companion app in one form or other. Keeping track of stats, exclusive rewards etc. This app could have been absolutely brilliant but Nintendo seems to have not even tried. On top of all that there could have been so many other elements as just a general Nintendo switch companion. Surf the Eshop, message friends, hours played for each game, even an achievements system to get the most out of each game. This app falls far short of anything half decent. The Xbox and ps apps lack any game companion features to them but are far more competent than this. I just don’t get why Nintendo couldn’t do more with this? It’s a no brainer.

Not bad

fghfght on

Really useful for splatoon 3 and acnh Although i hope they can set a lower Splat goal for the wondercrust Because It takes too long to obtain one piece Of gear

Amazing, but I only use NookLink

I love Zelda and acnh! on

It’s an amazing app, thanks Nintendo, but I only really use it for NookLink, so I have no feedback on SplatNet, but Smash Universe is kinda boring, I don’t know how it works. NookLink is amazing, and it is synced to your Switch which is helpful, it keeps track of your friends and is overall a good app! You can find me under the gamer tag: NayrusLove

Voice chat

St Benedicts on

I think the voice chat for ssbu is great as it lets you talk about the game and also get to know the wider Nintendo community. If u would really like to talk to players I really recommend to get this wonderful app. It is very helpful all you have to do is sign in and u can do voice chat, manage account etc(Nintendo players); u can even manage friends list. Thank you Nintendo for every thing you do for the community!!!!! Love from your fans.

This app is outdated👎🏻

One of the most useless app: cannot see your games, cannot chat, cannot access nintendo eshop. What the purpose to log in?

Would you believe Nintendo doesn’t want to use this to sell you stuff?

Deejay2909 on

This app is solely for in-game comms. It doesn’t let you do any other useful things like surf the eshop or interact with your wish list, because why would you want to do that when you can make people spend their money the hard way with joy-cons and a system that groans under the strain of continuous scroll, right?

Portrait only supported on iPad

plma1 on

Landscape should also be supported on iPad. Decent app otherwise, though I do wish there was more to do.

Still only good for Splatoon

Deluxe Distrait on

And even then, the Splatoon services could REALLY be better. It clearly has a lot more data on your stats (like amount of each king salmon defeated) but doesn’t give you that info, or will only give you a vague number. The monthly summaries on your weapon usages disappear once the season turns over, so good luck looking back at them if you didn’t get a screenshot. The exclusive gear is definitely the best part about the app, but god do I wish it would show what I currently have ordered when there’s a conflict. It shows what conflicting gear you already have in-game, but not in-app. Having the schedules there to see ahead of time is amazing, and the Home Screen Widgets are the only ones I use. I did use the voice call service once with a friend, which worked *surprisingly* well, but we immediately went back to using discord when it started working again. They could rebrand the entire app to be splatoon centric, and I don’t think anyone would know the difference
