One of the new features that comes courtesy of the Nintendo Switch 2 is GameChat, which as the name suggest, allows you to video chat with fellow gamers. Speaking to investors, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said that he hopes that the inclusion of GameChat on Nintendo Switch 2 will “inspire consumers to play games in new ways that we never imagined.” We won’t know for sure if that will happen until the Nintendo Switch 2 launches globally on 5th June, alongside the sure-fire hit Mario Kart World.
“We developed GameChat with the goal of recreating that childhood experience of kids getting together with their gaming systems, but in the modern environment. You may have experienced getting together to play the same game, or just being together in the same place while playing different games. By using the features of Nintendo Switch 2, we can recreate that experience not only with offline local multiplayer gameplay, but online as well. You can experience GameChat not only with Nintendo Switch 2 titles, but also with Nintendo Switch titles. We hope that GameChat adds new value to software and inspires consumers to play games in new ways that we never imagined.”
