{"game_intel_data":{},"featured_reviews":[{"content":"So, as we all know, Nintendo has had some questionable game experiences as with their past online gaming qualities. But, there’s a lot of things that should be fixed about this app and just the service. But, I am talking about the app, not the service. Anyway, voice chat. There is a possible way to make this better: Allow us to use a headset via the headphone jack, implement a audio jack in the Switch Pro Controller. You get the idea. Also, if you have the app and you enter a game that is supported, you can replace voice chat with an actual chat; and other people can chat with a headset. Here’s another idea...another chat function. It would be nice if through this app you could chat to your friends...especially for Animal Crossing, as you have codes. It would also be just convenient. Most of the previous features are only here for convenience. “Everybody relies on and uses their phone, so why not implement a voice chat system in the app?” Other things I think are useful, but my list of possible things they could change could work if applied.","version":"1.9.0","date":"2020-09-26T00:00:00Z","rating":3,"app_id":1234806557,"username":"Flamgapper","title":"Needs some work...","country":"US","tags":["sound_and_music","feature_requests"],"review_id":6468926132},{"content":"I’m sorry to say this Nintendo, but your online system IS RIDICULOUS!!! You make amazing and well-developed systems with the BEST games of all-time. From classics to modernize, you manage to improve greatly! As you are amazing at the accomplishments you’ve made during the years, knowingly some things were flawed, one thing I have to say is that you continue to worsen in is LACK OF PROPER ONLINE FEATURES!! I know you have gotten complaints about this before, but it’s clear that you have a online system for a reason! How is it that there’s a friend system, but still can’t chat with friends mainly out and occasions inside games?!?! You got rid of your old online system for a alternative?! A inconsiderate attempt to download a app that doesn’t support very much gaming. What I suggest is maybe considering listening to those around you to add friend messaging much like your competitors with able ability to start parties to voice chat in the background while playing a software. Rather you up the system or create an app WITHIN your switch system that enables these features, without the need of phones or devices! No offense to this app, but it’s no good!! I’ve been having a few problems that I don’t feel the need to go in details with. You’re an amazing company, but you lack at working in the fields of online systems. You guys have the capabilities, but you don’t give yourself that management, and you should try working at that too! Thank you, and hope you understand. :)","version":"1.1.3","date":"2018-07-24T00:00:00Z","rating":1,"app_id":1234806557,"username":"DCNationYT","title":"TERRIBLE APP!!!","country":"US","tags":["sound_and_music","performance_and_bugs","feature_requests"],"review_id":2959581277},{"content":"I didn’t mind the app at first, especially given that I’ve never had an opportunity to utilize it, moreover, none of my fiends who own Switch own Splatoon. But, now that they EXPECT me to pay for this service I’m miffed to put it mildly. \n\nNintendo is so focused on protecting children, that it comes at the total expense of their more mature audience. This is just the sort of thing that caused me to skip the Wii-U & buy an X-Box 360, & the ONLY reason I’m back is because of the greed present in modern gaming: micro-transactions, day 1 DLC, lack of single player, & etc. Nintendo doesn’t seem to be on that bandwagon, but they are still stuck in the past with regards to online gaming.\n\nI didn’t mind paying Microsoft to access their online service, moreover, it had EVERYTHING I needed: DMs, party chat, seamless online integration, a functional buddy list, & in-game voice chat. The Switch has almost none of these features, & it’s outrageous that they expect us to pay them given that. I’d play more Splatoon if I could talk to my teammates, but I can’t & it’s frustrating. The Switch already has parental controls, expand those to protect children so you don’t have to hinder my experience. If anything, I need protection from those children online!! I rarely had trouble with other adults while playing Halo or Gears of War, however, I frequently had to mute 12 year olds whom always seemed to know about my sexual preferences or deceased mother some how. 😒","version":"1.1.3","date":"2018-08-18T00:00:00Z","rating":1,"app_id":1234806557,"username":"Lecto-Sama","title":"A antiquated solution for a company stuck in the
