Summary
Rumors suggest the Nintendo Switch 2's additional "C" button may be dedicated to chat functionality. Recent datamining suggests the Switch 2 will include a group and voice chat feature, codenamed "Campus." The official Nintendo Switch 2 reveal is expected on January 16th.
The rumored "C" button on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 may be specifically designed for chat functions, according to a new report. This could significantly clarify one of the biggest remaining unknowns about the console's hardware.
Leaks regarding the Switch 2 have been circulating since late 2024, likely due to the console entering mass production. These leaks consistently show an extra button—a dark gray "C"—located on the right Joy-Con, below the home button. However, the button's function remained a mystery until now.
Datamining of the latest Switch OS reveals a feature codenamed "Campus," potentially related to group and voice chat support for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. This information comes from a growing Discord server focused on Switch 2 developments.
Nintendo Switch 2 Will Reportedly Support Screen Sharing
The same source indicates "Campus" will enable screen sharing within chat groups of up to 12 users. While the codename starts with "C," if linked to the new button, it's more likely the "C" stands for "chat" rather than "Campus," debunking theories suggesting it's for screen casting.
Chat Support and Nintendo's Kid-Friendly Approach
Since group and voice chats require internet connectivity, they would likely be exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. This is a significant point, considering the original Switch's design intentionally omitted such features to maintain a more kid-friendly experience. Reintroducing chat could present challenges Nintendo may wish to avoid.
The existence and purpose of the "C" button, along with other Switch 2 features, should become clear soon. Multiple sources point to an official announcement this Thursday, January 16th.
