Many had simply refused to participate in the new feature, while others were keen, yet understandably sceptical about the whole idea.<\/p>\n<p>Yet now that it&#8217;s here, it&#8217;s safe to say that we, and indeed many of you, are slowly coming around to GameChat. It&#8217;s basically just voice chat for online play on the Switch 2, which many consoles have featured for years by this point, but as usual, it&#8217;s been done &#8216;The Nintendo Way&#8217;. Which basically means it&#8217;s ridiculously simple to set up and also weirdly charming in practice.<\/p>\n<p>To discuss things a bit further, Alex and Felix have got together via \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 GameChat to talk all things GameChat. The duo test out the microphone&#8217;s capabilities when moving away from the Switch 2 itself, along with how things hold up during a Knockout Tour race in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/mario-kart-world\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mario Kart World<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re on the fence about getting the camera in particular, then be sure to check out the video at your leisure. But do give GameChat a shot either way; we reckon you&#8217;ll find it to be surprisingly useful.<\/p>\n<p>Have you been using GameChat on Switch 2? What about the camera accessories?
