◆ Checking the online status of friends

You can use your smart device to check whether your friends are online. You'll also be able to check what games your online friends are playing, and even send friend requests from within this app!
*You will need to use your Nintendo Switch console to accept friend requests and configure other friend settings.

◆ Using voice chat while gaming

When playing online in supported games, you can use voice chat with your friends via this app. How you use voice chat depends on the game and mode you're using - for example, when you split into teams in Splatoon 3, you can choose to use voice chat just with your team members so that friends on the other team won't know your next move.

I was logging in, however whenever I login it keeps saying the page cannot be displayed. It says to try again but it won’t work. Fix this immediately.

Succeeds at Expectations

For what it’s worth, Nintendo has been able to do everything it set out to accomplish. It may not be as robust as PSN or Xbox Live, but they’ve been out for more than a decade at this point, and have had YEARS to refine and patch out bugs. Hopefully they’ll be able to improve in game lag, but at this point the app is perfectly satisfactory.

HONEST Review

Too many problems, but there are some glaring issues with this service.

-voice chat cannot be used while using another app

-voice chat cannot be used while display is off

-cannot hear game audio if using voice chat

-audio will cut out when getting a notification.

Please look into fixing this app in order to modernise this into 2017's gaming standards.
