The Nintendo Switch is slowly becoming Nintendo’s most successful consoles, selling out stores as soon as new shipments arrive. Despite the fact that Nintendo Switch’s are selling like hot cakes, the newly released hybrid console has had to overcome a lot of backlash for a variety of overlooked features. When the Nintendo Switch first hit store shelves there was a large number of consumers reporting that their console had some sort of defect. Defects ranged from screens being scratched by the TV conversion dock to the console having an Orange Screen with absolutely no functionality. After a few months of use, some consumers were even reporting that the console was getting warped due to the heat that is created when the console is plugged into its TV conversion dock.

While the Nintendo Switch seems to be easily overcome these setbacks, a new issue has surfaced. The first model of headset designed for the competitive games, "Splatoon 2," has been revealed and it seems to have the majority of the gaming industry upset. This is because of the fact that it will require Nintendo Switch owners to not only use messy wires to connect a headset to the Switch, but Switch owners must use a Nintendo Switch smartphone voice app in order to speak while plugging another cord into the console itself as well. A lot of gamers are confused at the bulky and messy design of the headset setup since we live in an era in which having the slimmest design is most desired by consumers. Gamers are also confused as to why the company designing the headset didn’t seek a more wireless design considering most devices utilize Bluetooth technology.

While Nintendo probably had good intentions with the initial headset setup, the only solution that will truly deliver Nintendo Switch owners a desirable voice chat experience involves Nintendo ditching the voice app and bulky wire setup and seeking a wireless design. By having a wireless design Nintendo will still be able to maintain their game plan for the release of "Splatoon 2" while keeping Nintendo Switch consumers satisfied at the same time. Also by seeking a more wireless solution, Nintendo would avoid compatibility issues as some Nintendo Switch owners may not have the newest phones and some older phones may not be compatible with the Nintendo Switch voice app. If that isn’t convincing enough, it shouldn’t be hard to see that a wireless setup would be better since having a complicated headset setup, such as the "Splatoon 2" setup, will surely produce more technical issues than a less complicated wireless setup.

While Nintendo Switch Fans seem to be upset with the newly revealed "Splatoon 2" headset setup, there is a glimpse of hope in this situation in the fact that Nintendo is actually taking steps towards game chat functionality. Considering the fact that Nintendo has never really had a console with dependable game chat, Nintendo fans must remain patient with Nintendo.
