Splatoon's Official Chat Headset Is Cool, Complicated


Sure, why not?

Peripheral maker Hori has introduced the first solution to Nintendo Switch chat by way of an official Splatoon 2 headset.

Splatoon 2, like any good team-based shooter, requires careful collaboration between squadmates to ensure victory. Much like getting your teammates to coperate with one another, there's a bit of work involved when it comes to the headset.

Japanese site Ninten-Switch has photos of the new headset, along with its cool but complex squid splitter. Switch chat is supported by a smartphone app, not part of the Switch itself, so there are three connections involved: the headphones to the splitter, the splitter to a smartphone, and another lead to the Switch itself.

Hori has made the splitter on-brand, looking very much the part of the Splatoon universe, and the headset itself is modeled after a headset found in-game.

Splatoon was a run away success, even if Nintendo's Wii U wasn't, so it was a give-in it would be brought to Switch. At the end of its last Direct, Nintendo gave us a glimpse at Splatoon 2's improved single-player campaign.

Splatoon 2 and its 3 associated amiibo release July 21.
