Nintendo has sent a press release this morning revealing that, once the Switch is released, you can send your friends ominous Nintendo Switch App appointments and reminders for online sessions. Your contact will then receive a notification on their smartphone letting them know when the games will begin.
"Splatoon 2 will be compatible with an upcoming Nintendo Switch app for smart devices that enhances online play. [...] This app will connect to the game and allow players to set play appointments with friends who have been added to their Nintendo Switch friend list or via their social media accounts."
So far Nintendo has shared very few details about the features of the smartphone app for the Switch, but Voice chat and managing friends with the app has already been confirmed. We'll know soon enough for sure. Do you think appointments will help you schedule your gaming, or is this a bit too much?
Thanks, Eurogamer.
