Nintendo's Switch 2 introduces a built-in voice chat system called GameChat, accessible via a dedicated button on new controllers. This eliminates the need for separate apps for in-game communication.

For two decades, Nintendo’s flirted with voice and video communication with Wii Speak, the Wii U Chat channel, and Nintendo Switch Online.

A brief hands-on demo of Nintendo Switch 2's GameChat functionality immediately quelled my biggest concerns about it.
