*You will need to use your Nintendo Switch console to accept friend requests and configure other friend settings.
◆ 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.

Cool
Can you make a table turf app? That would be cool. Like you sign in to your Nintendo account and saves your cards so you can play on iPad, phones and stuff. You can play online with friends or offline with baby jelly or something like that. Please?
Can’t login
I have typed the correct information and it will not let me in.
Smash Online Developers are morons
Why do I constantly have almost a second of latency during battles in the evening. Maybe learn how to properly build network services.
Not that much useful stuff on the app
Now I think the app is cool and all but since some people don’t have phones they can’t get this app, Also if voice chat was built in to the switch it would be a lot more useful although most people use discord or just there phone to talk with people. it would be so cool to see voice chat on nintendo switch. Honestly if or when they come out with a new console they should add voice chat but aside from voice chat just the app itself could use a good update.
Let me do the update
It’s not letting me play cause I need an update but when I check for it it’s not there.
Bad Controls
When I was playing Nintendo with my friend, it kept on pausing the Game, so we wrote this review so you DON’T have to use Nintendo USA
Great for Splatoon 2/3
I honestly like this service, especially for Splatoon, I can get gear I want and others
Do not do this for the next console
Also we need Netflix and Disney plus on this console no need for web browser
Why does this exist?
This App exists so you can voice chat with the 4 supported games, I don’t think I’ve ever used this app for real once since the 6 years I’ve had my switch. - safe to delete.
