Updated January 14: This article originally referenced an incorrect Discord server also named "Nintendo Switch 2." The link has been corrected to direct to the authentic datamining source. The initial report remains unchanged.
The enigmatic C button rumored for Nintendo Switch 2 may serve chat-related purposes according to new findings. This development could clarify one of the most puzzling hardware questions surrounding Nintendo's next-generation console.
Since late 2024, numerous leaks have surfaced regarding the Switch 2, likely stemming from reported mass production commencement. These unofficial reveals consistently showed an additional dark gray "C" button on the right Joy-Con beneath the home button, though its function remained unknown.
Recent analysis of the latest Switch OS update revealed references to a codenamed "Campus" feature. According to a credible Switch 2-focused Discord community, this appears related to enhanced group and voice chat capabilities for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.
The report indicates Campus would support:
The introduction of robust chat features would represent a significant departure from the Switch's family-friendly approach. Current Switch models deliberately avoid integrated chat systems to maintain a secure environment for younger players. Reintroducing communication features could present moderation challenges Nintendo has previously avoided.
Industry observers note that such chat functions would likely remain exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers due to their internet-dependent nature. The validity of these claims may soon be verified, as multiple sources indicate an official Switch 2 announcement is expected January 16.
