Very surprising given they never featured any communication systems! I always figured they want to be 100% family safe and any chat/communication feature could be missused against that. A welcome feature though, now i'd only need friends.

Now that this line is crossed they can bring back Miiverse please

Ehhhh it's cool that this is a feature, but boy did it look laggy.

[–] picandocodigo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Maybe they've finally figured out how to internet after all these years 😅

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'll believe that if scrolling the shop list of games works without lagging and crashing.

[–] picandocodigo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I really hope they'll fix the eshop...

Does it really take up a third of the screen the whole time? I really hope this is for demonstration only...

[–] semperverus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

No, you can have the game full screened, you can have friends showing at the bottom, or you can focus a friends screen as the big one.

I asume it's a setting to show it or not. Otherwise it would be very annoying, i don't need to see face of people i play with.

I think they showed 2 different sizes, one had 4 users taking full width, and one had it taking about half screen width. Height was proportional to width in both.
