Switch 2's GameChat looks awful, but is FUN – The Verge

Looks like my assessment of GameChat from the reveal was spot on if The Verge's video is anything to go by.

"The headlining feature is GameChat; aka Nintendo's version of Xbox 360 party chat from 2005. That's the joke me and all my buddies made at first glance during the Direct. Upon reflection, and I can't believe I am saying this, I think GameChat is quite more sophisticated and intentional than party chat on the other platforms. "

I have the same old 1080 Logitech webcam and this video inspired me to dig it out and attach it to a USB-C dongle. It worked perfectly. Now I am GameChat ready.

I was surprised and delighted to see the accessibility features. I was also surprised to see it all running in pretty good time with the conversation. Sony and Microsoft could learn a ton from Nintendo's implementation here.
