When Nintendo first revealed the Switch 2's GameChat comms feature, my first thought was, 'Welcome to 2012, Nintendo.' But now, after reading a new interview with a number of key Mario Kart World developers, I realize in hindsight that it was both silly and short-sighted to assume Nintendo didn't have much more diabolical plans for GameChat.
We all know Nintendo games can ruin friendships. To this day, I'll never forgive myself for throwing a shoe at my best friend in 2011 because he hit me with like three blue turtle shells in a row or something. That said, it's never been as explicitly clear as it is now that Nintendo likes testing friendships. Friendships aren't a hapless casualty of party game war; they're targets for Nintendo to snipe like kart racers without bananas protecting their behinds.
