Surprisingly enough I haven't seen any discussions on this forum regarding the idea of bringing cross-game chat to the Wii U, which in my mind, makes no sense considering the following:
- The current-gen Xbox 360 has it, so why wouldn't Nintendo's first step into the next-gen have it?
- The whole point of online gaming is to have fun talking with not only friends you know who own the game you're playing, but those you've met playing other games, party chat makes this a much simpler and funner experience, so if you want to have a conversation with a friend or friends playing a different game, why not? Just make a party or group or whatever you wanna call it and do it.
- I've seen many Wii U owners saying they want cross-game chat brought to the system elsewhere on the internet such as from people on YouTube like this guyand even some online petitions.
It really does baffle me that this doesn't appear to have been brought up on the ACTUAL Nintendo tech forums. So SPEAK UP PEOPLE. Progress isn't just made. It must first be demanded, considered, and brought into action.
