Nope, it's not.
Is not? I thought it was because CPU is a limited resource on the system. Well, then is inexcusable.

Good try but I doubt that enough care.
1. Tweeting Bill or anyone at Nintendo and voicing your dissatisfaction is not harassment.
2. No, it's not an issue of Switch lacking power. Even the Nintendo DS was able to do voice chat on the system. It's a deliberate design choice by Nintendo.
3. The adapter by HORI (or similar adapters by other third parties) is the only solution if you want to have both voice chat and game music through the same headset.
4. No, the app solution isn't more convenient to handle. You need to juggle two (or if you're playing in docked mode with Joy-Cons, three) devices at once. It's easier to just connect a headset directly to the Switch.

Yes, but I was thinking that Nintendo wanted as much as its CPU power available if they want to get downports from the Ps4/XBO.Switch has more CPU power and 4 times the RAM of 360, for example. DS had voice chat in some games during waiting rooms for online. It's not really the problem.
You don't tweet someone about this at his personal twitter, just tweet to the offical ones. What's wrong with you guys.
I wanna make my voice heard, but to make my voice heard I need an app on my phone.
CHECK. MATE.
If you want to voice chat via headset and you need the smartphone app for it, you will still need a dongle. The dongle is from Hori but it is made for Nintendo. Maybe it changes the shape when they sell it for other games, but that's it.
Except you don't know that. You're guessing, it's not a stated fact. You're talking like everything's already been rolled out.

Oh ffs, the dongle's _only_ reason is to mix game sound from the console with chat sound from the phone while you're on the go. All cords are just audio. You can obviously totally just plug a headset into your phone and be done with it while playing on a couch, hearing the game from the TV.
Are people purposefully obtuse about this?
If you want to use a headset for listening voice in the smartphone app, and game sound, you will need to mix two different sound sources, so a dongle to put them together. There is not much to guess.
It's not guessing. Nintendo have said repeatedly that you need the smartphone app to use voice chat. This weird defensiveness some people have about how it'll work is getting silly now.
The options will be you need a Y splitter that connects to both your phone and the Switch to get audio from both or you only use the App and have to use your TV speakers like it's 2005 again. These will be the options available because that's what the tech involved allows for.
No, people just don't want to settle for a substandard solution. There's a reason why gaming headsets are amongst the most popular accessories for consoles, people want to be able to hear the game and their chat.
Are people being purposefully obtuse about this?
We agree this is a bad design but since there are no headphone jack on the joy cons nor the pro controller, what do you suggest then ? A headset with 3m cable when the Switch is docked ?Because I believe bluetooth headsets don't work (yet?) and not everyone have (wants) one.
Is it really better that use your phone on speakers while gaming ?
The fact that they didn't design the joy cons or the pro controller with headphone jack makes all voice chat execution bad.

Leave Bill alone
Could not care less about voice chat
Don't harass Bill on twitter, lol.
If you defend it, you're an idiot.
Read my post history.Please do not make posts like this.

Nintendo is totally wrong on this matter.
They really should have added headphone jacks to the joycon and pro controller.
Again, nobody said anything about harassing anyone.
We should probably wait to even seen wtf it is first
