Can't Nintendo make it easier on us?

(This first paragraph really is just an update. If you don't care, skip to the second for the actual blog).

I haven't made a blog in a while, and I'm sure you're all desperate (probably not) for another one of my humorous (or offensive) stories. Well, I've been running out of ideas. I'd hate to be forced to stop writing blogs but my brain isn't doing a great job of growing some good ideas. So I'm deciding to try and play it safe and easy for a while. After the controversy on the "Gamers" of today, I'm not really sure what to do. Many loved the blog and it's my most liked blog I've ever written, but many also hated it with a burning passion. Although I was happy to see many enjoyed reading it and understanding my troubles, I felt horrible reading all the comments telling how I am a terrible person. So I don't really want to bare seeing those comments and I don't want to make anyone mad. So like I said, my blogs are going to be toned down to small rants or stories that aren't to offensive or strange. With that out of the way, enjoy!

So I was playing Splatoon 2 a couple days ago. I decided to play some Turf War when I was teamed up with someone. I don't really want to name him because I don't want people to go out searching for him. Anyway, I was splatting foes and covering the ground with ink when suddenly I spotted an opponent running up to me with a clash blaster. I began to retreat, but one of my teammates saved me by splatting him with a roller. He booya'd me and I booya'd back. He saved me! Later, he was cornered and an opponent holding a Carbon Roller was about to finish him off. I saved him with my splattershot to pay him back. Soon, we were sticking together and booyaing each other. After the match, I decided to friend him because he seemed like a friendly person. He accepted, and I created a private match. He then joinned.

"Titanica, what the fuck is going on?" I hear you screaming at your monitor. "I was promised a rant by the Entry title and instead I am getting a rip off of your 'Fallen Inkling' blog! You're going on a damn downward spiral and all your blogs are now clickbait for likes, you piece of shit."

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Watch your language! Anyway, you interrupted me right when I was getting to the rant I promised. Also, this blog really isn't a rip off of the Fallen Inkling blog because I added a ton of dramatic effect to it and exaggerated it a lot.

Anyway, the rant. So I wanted to ask this guy if he had Discord or Steam or Skype. Unfortunately, the Switch does not have a chat room feature unless you count the voice chat (which I don't think anyone uses or likes). I wanted to really talk to him though. So I came up with an idea. I changed my username a ton of times. First I changed it to, "Hey, do you." Then I changed it to "Have Discord." Then "Or steam?" Then "Or Skype?"

I could tell he had no idea what was going on until he finally realized it and changed his name to "I have." Then he changed it to "Discord."

We eventually changed our names to our Discord tags. I don't really need to continue because this shows how annoying Nintendo can be. I absolutely love Nintendo but I hate how inconvenient they can be. Why can't they include a chatroom in the Switch? Why does there have to be friend codes? Can't Nintendo get a hint from the other companies and try doing what they do? I love Nintendo for their innovation, but this isn't acceptable. I shouldn't have to change my username over and over just to send a message. I really wish they could do this. They are on a roll with their games, but is it too much to ask for something simple like a chatroom? Or why can't we just search up usernames to friend each other rather than type a friend code or search through a list of people you've played with. Do you guys agree? Do you guys hate my opinion? Tell me what you think!

Mmm yeah, that I fully agree.
We had it very easy with Playstation and XBOX, too bad Nintendo still lives in the 90's.
 
Nintendo was, is, and always will be a toy manufacturer. To them, everything else is superfluous. Japanese culture is rooted in tradition, and their business decisions reflect this.

@zfreeman I wouldn't say Nintendo is being traditional. They've been extremely innovative with the entire idea of the Switch and their games have been changing up the formula they've had for years. Just look at Breath of the Wild! I just don't understand how they can make such glorious games but not even have a simple chatroom for friends on their system.
 
Why doesn’t the switch even have status messages like the Wii U and 3DS
 
@Titanica I agree that the Switch was a very innovative toy, even the Virtual Boy had its merits. Do they make great games/toys? Yes, that's why we're getting Labo papercraft instead of cloud-storage for saves or online voice chat. Due to their success, I think we tend to forget that their mindset is that of a toymaker and not of a software developer. They're still making playing cards after all these years.
