I'm not sure if this is ok to post or not, admins let me know if not, but the recent issue of Splatoon not having voice chat really bummed me out. My friends and I have created a Raidcall, which is much better than Skype, to organize and chat in large groups. The Raidcall was made as a result of this announcement, but we also use if for other games on Wii U and 3DS.
Unfamiliar with Raidcall? Raidcall is essentially like Skype except ten times better. There's no host, so any ping that you are experiencing is all on you as it's server based (and free). This way, we can chat seamlessly with no interruptions by connection and it takes up WAY less resources (i.e. memory) than Skype which provides an even more thorough experience. You can have many different rooms within the Raidcall group, and subgroups as demonstrated in the photo, when splitting off into teams. Example: 4 people can be in the main Splatoon room, 4 people can be in Chat 1, 4 more in Chat 2, so on and so forth. The people in each subgroup will only have communication with whoever is also in their subgroup. Wanna switch off Splatoon and play Smash 4? Double tap Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and play and chat in there. It keeps everyone connected, but separate at the same time.
TL;DR version:
Features of Raidcall
-No hosts, so if you crunch out it's because of your own connection
-Takes up a TINY amount of resources so it doesn't add stress to internet bandwitch or memory usage
-It's customizable. Make it look however you'd like
-It features push-to-talk, free talk, mute, and noise cancellation. You can also block people that are annoying you, while still hearing everyone else.
-You can record hilarious conversations during gameplay
