Slow day, I'm playing Mario Kart. Been doing so since a couple of hours now. Out of all the players, no one but me was online.

This site only stays really busy when big releases are out, so far most peoples games are working 100%, and everyone knows what to do, so they stop coming to gbatemp as much, just wait till the next firmware that breaks something, site will explode again. The interesting people who feel they are entitled to free games also come out.

What...? I'm talking about the in-game voice chat for some Switch games.

you mean the one with the phone app? yeah no wonder it's dead :creep:
Dude have you ever seen me play Super Smash Bros? I NEED the voice chat. I NEED to hear the autistic screams of the noobs I pwn online. On the Wii U they would rage using name tags, but now that voice chat is there, I NEED to feel the salt.

I only voice chat with friendos.
I see little value in communicating with randos on the net in a solo competitive game.

I very rarely find a Player online that uses Voice App.
I guess most people don't realize that the App is not just for talking with friends but that some games also support Voicechat with strangers over the Matchmaking Functionality of the game.

And I love that feature - the tears of my opponents that loose to Bowser in Mario Tenis Aces...so delicious...

Il glad that being an asshole on the Internet cheers you up. I bet you're a blast at all the parties you aren't invited to :)

I treat people how they treat others, there is no point in playing the victim now.

The Switch chat wan't really alive either from the start its just that Nintendo is pretty weak when it comes to social interaction within their consoles. My guess is that they wanted to protect younger kids from hearing any harsh things

    Some people just like using original hardware for the hobby point of it

    You can easily buy replacement buttons but it's a good fall back

    on screen keys would be cool but the gba screen is pretty tiny though :(

    I'd rather use emulation but it's cool regardless again the main point of the Touchscreen isn't just for buttons but for menu options
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    would be way better for menu options
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    although I have huge doubts anyone would be able to make homebrew that would give support for the touch screen

    then again theres still people who develop games on systems as old as the nes for fun
