Nintendo teases the coming existence for the first time Switch 2 exist JanuarySome sensitive gamers noticed an extra button on the right Joy-Con No label. There is a capture button and a home button, but the third button is not marked at all. That is, until Thursday’s Nintendo launch Its own news application And the picture is not visible in front of the switch 2.
On the app pages of the App Store and Google Play Store, there is an image of the Switch 2. On this image, there is a clear “C” on the third button Switch 2 was made fun of in January.

With Nintendo’s revelation, the problem now is what this button does. The most likely explanation is that “C” stands for “Capture”, which will make this button a quick way to screenshot. However, this does bring some confusion because the capture button, which many switch owners call the share button, has been used as a capture button for this purpose. What may happen is that the C button is used to capture screenshots, and the old capture button is used to broadcast live streams.
Since the last generation, Xbox and PlayStation consoles have been live streamed directly from the console. Once you have set up input twitch or YouTube information, these consoles can broadcast streaming games with just a few buttons. However, the switch never brought this function. Those who want to stream games from a switch must connect their console to a capture device connected to the computer. For many content creators, having a button can start the stream.
The C button can also be used to switch Joy-Con’s controls. In the January trailer, there is a small portion of the video Joy-Con separates and moves on a flat surface like a mouse. This button converts Joy-Con from standalone controller to mouse, and while left-handed gamers may feel excluded, it makes sense on the right Joy-Con.
Another theory is that the C button is suitable for the community. During Thursday’s Nintendo direct sale, the company revealed the return of the Tomodachi Life series, a Sims-like game that includes the avatar of MIIS. There aren’t these MIIs when the switch is fired, but it looks like they might come back. Knowing Nintendo, if MII is back, the Community Button will bring a different place for Miis to interact, similar Nintendo 3DS and MII Square.
Nintendo officially released the functions of the C-Button until April 2 Switch 2. There are still many questions about the company’s next console, and when this happens, How much will it cost And the games it will launch. These problems may be Switch 2 Nintendo Direct happens on April 2.
