The mentions of "chat" are self explanatory. I think we all expected voice chat, so no surprises here. As far as the "Wand" mode mention, that's worth deciphering. Holding the Joy-Con vertically could indicate what the listing means by Wand mode, but I think that would be too descriptive for holding it vertically. When you think of wands, you think of things you point and swirl around. To me, it furthers the point of some sort of motion input, but I could be reaching to far. What do you guys think?
