Wish Granted

Personally, I'm in favor of not having voice chat, but it's fun to tease Nintendo about being so far behind the times.

  1. FIRST!!! (I feel like Patrick Star: “OH BOY, 3 A.M!”) I’m sorry to all the “blue-shells” (I’m calling the first-haters that now) and I suppose I shall be executed for this crime BUT YOU’LL NEVER CATCH ME ALIVE BLUE-SHELLS!!! (I suppose I’m not sorry then)

    1. <__>

      *Quietly hands Peridot a Super Horn*

      1. Lightning Bolt

    2. *lightning bolt appears*

      1. I counter that with a mega mushroom

        1. *replaces mega mushroom with poison mushroom*

        2. No I’ve already used the mega mushroom, and this cancels out the shrinking, even if you tried to give me one, it wouldn’t work as everyone loses their items when lightening strikes (also why blue shell is no longer a problem for now) Also, I’m no fool, in the version that we seem to be roleplaying (Mario Kart Wii, based on the previous powers and attacks used) Mega mushroom and poison mushroom look very very different from one-another. (I’ll be honest I’ve never played Mario Kart Wii or Mario Kart, but I’ve been reading up on the internet, so I may be wrong)

        3. peridot, diggy kin, poison shrooms aren’t in mariokart.

        4. Who said anything about Mario Kart?
          There are poison and Mega shrooms and blue shells in the Mario universe, and I assume it has weather so therefore it all makes sense.

        5. (To HamCat) But do they track the people in first place in Mario Universe? If not, I don’t think that’s the game that makes the most sense, because the whole thing about blueshells here was that they would put an end to the “firsts” with the special ability they have of knocking the person who is in first place. If the blue shell does function that way in Mario Universe then I think we’ll stick to that one then

        6. @hamcat, I can jut counter your poison shroom with a fire flower

        7. mega mushrooms and super horn not in same game!
          Mega Mushrooms-Mario Kart Wii
          Super Horns- Mario Kart 8

    3. Yes but I…
      am awesome so I get immunity to everything.

      1. What if you punch yourself? If you didn’t get hurt, you wouldn’t be awesome, because you would be too weak to have someone “awesome and strong” feel pain. And if you did get hurt, you wouldn’t because you are too weak to handle the hit…

        1. Wait, how does not feeling pain if you hit yourself not count as awsome?

    4. *kick in the rear*

      1. I am awsome,because I have acsess to Gaster Blasters

        1. I have the uno reverse card so I am now God

    5. I’m only replying so everyone can see. Nitendo has game chat for minecaft wii u

  2. Pokemon X had a voice chat, but you couldn’t play the game while chatting. I’m still gonna agree with the comic.

    1. All the other Titles featureing PSS ha it as well. nintendo needs to catch up with gamefreak (I think the reason there is no voice chat in gen 7 is because nintendo was jealous)

      1. The quick link in SuMo is nice.
        The issue is that the entirety of the multiplayer mode is a butchered combo of a half baked hub and a half risen (not even half baked) join avenue clone.
        If they had say 20 spots for shops, and had 20 types of shops (which would force switching out of tents but that’s okay) then it would be fine. They could have had free speech like Gen 6 only had all curse words but a vulgarity of donkey be censored (because bass, things like Cofagrigus would be whitelisted though. I won’t explain cofagrigus), and then solved two problems with one stone.
        But they didn’t, which is a shame. I do blame them for this, but I don’t harbor ill will because of it.

  3. It’s still better than what they currently have. :/

    1. Have you -played- Call of Duty?
      1. No voice chat keeps the teams more balanced.
      2. You don’t have to put up with people on voice chat.

  4. pixel snickering in that panel is so damn cute

    nintendo does need some sort of voice chat built in to at least some multiplayer games

  5. Bring back Nano!

    1. Yes! Where is Nano?? :(

      1. NANOOOOOOHOOOOOHOOOOO I MISSS YOOOUUUUUUUHUUUUUUU

        1. I have never played dark souls, meaning I don’t enjoy the main comedy of her character as much, but I still wish to see her gloriously charging into another comic, sunight spear in hand.
          (translation: i don’t like her as much as other people, but i miss her too.)

  6. Picture a world, one wear Nintendo has voice chat.
    Young innocent youth:”good game”
    Typical fpser:”bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (stops for breath) eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

  7. plz make GaMERCaT 1080p wallpapers

    IM A HUGE FAN

    1. I’m pretty sure there are monthly wallpaper rewards for Gamercat’s patreon

  8. I actually think it’s better without the voice chat. Their games are for mostly family appeal, but half of all voice chats are people screeching slurs and hate.

    1. Heavy parental controls.
      Also; “This is awkward, but I have to ask. Which one are you?”
      Ventus or Roxas?

  9. Is it though? Is it better?

    1. It may be for Gamercat and Glitch.

  10. Nintendo: “BUT- BUT- BUT- They might say a bad word!”

  11. A short history of every program I have used that decided to include voice chat: Pity the developer.
    —Hey we heard you wanted voice chat, so that will be coming out soon.
    —Voice chat is now available in this update!
    —We are working on the problem
    —We are working on the problems
    —We are working on the many problems
    —We are adding more servers to take care of the additional loads of Voice Chat
    —Yes, you need more computer resources to run the program now that it has voice chat
    —No we are not responsible for what people say to you in voice chat.
    —Voice servers are down, we are working on the problem.
    —Yes, we are working on the problems of the bandwidth use of voice chat.
    —No we are not responsible for what people say to you in voice chat.
    —No, we cannot have 200 people in a single voice chat. The servers can’t handle that.
    —No we are not responsible for what people say to you in voice chat.
    —We are not responsible for your internet connection not being fast enough for voice chat.
    —No we are not responsible for what people say to you in voice chat.
    —We are not able to connect you to your friend when they are offline. No, really.
    —No we are not responsible for what people say to you in voice chat.
    —Have you tried text?

    1. Ah, the life of a programmer providing new features. A minefield of bugs, dead ends, eye-bleary crunching, and psychic interpretation of other people’s work, all seasoned with the threat of legal suffering. Nothing like it!

    2. You forgot the main one: Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

    3. True that. Nintendo would be much better served to just give a link to an existing chat protocol.

  12. (Now for a normal, non-first comment) Is it just me or does Malcolm look a lot like his cats? He has Glitch’s hair and it’s also black like GaMERCaT’s. He also has a red shirt that is like GC’s red bandana. This is pretty cool because studies say that most owners look like their pets (perhaps they sort of subconciously change their style to match or pick pets that resemble them without realizing it) Hey Celesse, did you do this intentionally, when designing the characters?

  13. Glitch is so freaking cute. XD

  14. That Fluffy Waffle

    Am I the only one who thinks he should do a comic on The Escapist 2?

    1. Ooh! Ooh! Slime rancher!

  15. Well at least we can post stuffs and that’s about it, can any of you guys tell other furries to please lower down on furry post on Splatoon 2 and maybe draw some Splatoon post I know you guys can draw whatever you want but I know some people who are cool with furries but they are getting frustrating about this so please at least lower down and thank you.

    1. My favorite part of this post is the apparent assumption that everyone here is a both a furry and owner of Splatoon 2

      1. Well I know not everyone but I’m trying to communicate to people who does, I’m sorry if I upset anyone this is my first time commenting about this topic, and I sometimes don’t know what to say.

        1. You are answering to the wrong area.
          I don’t have Splatoon 2, and I won’t get a Switch until the next Pokemon game comes out (it’s my standard mark at which I get the device. There are other games I want to play on it like Splatoon 2, but I would rather wait for price drop). And there’s like, what, 1 person who is openly suggesting they fall under the other category you are bringing up?
          This is what Miiverse is for, besides choking out the ability of people to complain about legitimate problems in multiple nintendo games.

  16. Is anyone forgetting about Nintendo Switch Online?

    1. Apparently, yes.

      1. This is literally new to me. Then again, I don’t have any online games for the switch.

  17. still better than oficial suport nintendo

  18. My sister wants you to make another Undertale comic. She has recently gotten into the fandom (and still hasn’t found her way out yet) and would like to make a comic now that she knows what is going on.

    1. Celesse has already made some on Undertale, click the profile name I have (Says Peridot and should be orange) and it’ll direct you to the beginning of her undertale comics. There are about three of them (two in a row and then one after a valentine’s comic) just click next as you would do usually

      1. Oh but there is also a spoiler alert on them, just in case she doesn’t know the full story (I’m not sure how much it reveals, because I don’t know much, but there was a big red warning right above one of the comics that said SPOILER ALERT)

    2. Oh wait, scratch that entirely, I just realized that you said make another one, not to start making them…

      1. It’s ok! Thank you for the help, anyway. =)

  19. One thing here thats funny is that nintendo would strongly benifit from having player communication in games like pokemon or possibly splatoon in which you could benifit in teams or things like battle royales if you wanted to organize 2 against 2.

    1. So many times have I been shown a starter that has been super rare on the GTS, had a pokemon that my trading partner has said they want to trade it for, and then done:
      “I want to trade Mawile for your Honedge!”
      WHY.
      They should add a “can you go back one” or a “you just passed a pokemon I want!” text feature.

  20. I am just here to point out the existence of TeamSpeak, available for nearly every internet-able device that is not Nintendo. Just run a laptop, tablet of phone next to you while playing.

  21. I’m sure it’s some legal malarkey
    that said, really? I thought they did. Could have sworn there was a wii peripheral and then it was built right into the wiiu

  22. voice chatting with gamer cat would probably sound like “meow, meow, purrrr” anyway.

    1. Actually yeah. In previous comics, he annoyed and confused MANY gamers over voice chat by doing that, and they threatened to stop playing with him if he didn’t stop “pretending” to be a cat.

  23. One thing here thats funny is that nintendo would strongly benifit from having player communication in games like pokemon or possibly splatoon in which you could benifit in teams or things like battle royales if you wanted to organize 2 against 2.

  24. Well they plan to introduce voice chat …

    You just need a phone with an app.
    Then you connect your phone with a wire with a connector.
    Then you connect your headphone with a wire with the connector.
    And you connect your Switch with a wire with the connector.
    And then your ready to go … as long as you don’t strangle yourself

    You I think I’m kidding sadly I’m not:

  25. Noooo! Glitch totally missed out on an opportunity here! He should have painted “NinCANdo” on the side of his invention!!!! XD

    1. Omg yaasssssssssssss queeeeeeeeen

  26. I’m so disappointed

  27. Hurry up before Nintendo forbid these things for “copyright infringment”!

  28. Playing Splatoon 2 without joycons?

  29. I swear, if this comic ended I would die.

    1. “HAI GUYZ! I’VE REPLACED MY BLOOD WITH POKEMON”
      -Katie Tiedrich

  30. Anybody else notice that there all looking up when gamercat is holding the switch in his hands? Good comic none the less

    1. No they are looking right ahead, and presumably at the T.V screen to watch GaMERCaT play the game which makes perfect sense

  31. They had it on Animal Crossong didn’t they?

  32. Sadly the reason they don’t have voice chat is because people online like to curse and it makes it harder for their kid friendly setting to have open and free chat.

    1. How about a voice to tex- Oh right whiny little kids who sound like they are having their voiced played at 3.4 times speed and also freely give away contact info.
      Yeah…
      Man…
      Hey!
      What about…
      A just text based chat in pause modes or a global chat that is to the side and can be easily tapped to open up. It automatically gets rid of all vulgarities by replacing them with ***, with the exception of words like bass which are whitelisted. Immediate deviations (like “oss”) are also blacklisted.

  33. Gamercat Nintendo Fan

    Nintendo doesn’t want a toxic environment for anyone who plays their games and that’s why no Nintendo game has voice chat. However, there is the phone app for Splatoon 2.

    1. It’s a phone call system…
      For your phone…
      Dammit Buckley!

  34. Who else has read every comic

    1. I have. Over 9000 times.

      1. I have too but only twice

  35. believe it or not, Nintendo did have voice chat for some of their Pokemon games unfortunately, it sucked.
