We got a glimpse of the brand new built-in microphone, and the new official Nintendo Switch 2 camera during today's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation. Ninty has ditched its current pesky voice-chat system for a process more in line with other current-gen consoles thanks to its new GameChat voice chat feature, and I’m all for it. I just don't think it's going to be first-party games taking the limelight here.
Rumors also indicate that Microsoft is bringing a range of games over to the Nintendo Switch 2. Phil Spencer himself spoke on an episode of the GameChanger podcast, stating that he was “really looking forward to supporting [Nintendo]” with existing Microsoft games. Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 are rumored to be making their way onto the handheld, but it’s Microsoft titles like Sea of Thieves that could be a best-use scenario for the Switch 2’s GameChat.
