Now Playing: Nintendo Switch 2 – Official System Overview Trailer

While the current Switch doesn't ask for a phone number for voice chat, a separate mobile device is still needed to talk with friends through the Nintendo Switch Online app. This will eventually get renamed to the Nintendo Switch app sometime this month and will be where you find Zelda Notes in the enhanced Switch 2 Editions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

Earlier this month, a report pointed to GameChat including a couple of helpful accessibility features: text-to-chat speech functionality and live chat translation. However, both were showcased in Japanese, so it's unknown officially what languages may be supported on the upcoming system.

Switch 2 is set to launch on June 5 for $450, though preorders sold out almost immediately. That said, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser believes the company can meet demand for the console throughout the rest of this year.
