What the NEW BUTTON Does | Nintendo Switch 2 Gimmick

With all the leaks and rumors about the Nintendo Switch 2 we have a very good idea as for what to expect with the design of Nintendo's next generation console. One of the new additions to the Nintendo Switch successor system however is a new C button that appears under the home button of the right Joy-Con. What could this new button be used for? Is this the Nintendo Switch 2 gimmick? Check out all the speculation here!

It's a Cucumber button. You press it, and it instantly materializes a cucumber in front of you

[@EldenLordRorymachus]

I would buy the console purely because of that feature

[@yoshifan1028]

Quecumber*

[@WakoDoodle]

Genius! If I hold it down for more than 3 secs, do I get a pickle? Or 3 Cucumbers?

[@Wally_Bally]

@@WakoDoodleactually you get 3 pickles, just tested it on my switch 2 that I stole from the Chinese factory… I’m now on the run

[@Arlecchini]

NOW I WANT THAT

[@cosmo9925]

The “C” stands for “Copyright” and if you press it, Nintendo immediately sues you into the ground. It’s great for fan game developers, content creators and anyone even thinking about using emulators!

[@polokidreemzplayz5963]

This has me 😭🤣

[@LikeWhyTF]

It also stands for Class Action Lawsuit 😂

[@killaknight12]

I still think it's a "connect" button for fast local connection to other Switches, but I'd love a "cast" button to use the Switch 2 like a Wii U gamepad. If the dock is really bigger to the back (more hardware for receiving signal?) and lower at the front it could be possible to use the Switch screen as a second screen for maps, inventory etc. and DS games at all times, handheld and docked.

[@Rainbow-yy3th]

I know that is probably not going to happen, but I would love that so there could be Nintendoland 2😂

[@stevenr224]

Exactly!

[@OliverHC11]

interesting theory

[@FranciscoLozano-DizzyPuffin]

It should be good, but.. if Nintendo broke his own Wii U doing that.. I don't think that this could be a good idea exactly.. the most interesting idea would be: "Cast" but not with the TV, directly with the Dock to receive more signal and be more quick receiving the signal, and maybe it can be a good idea.. one of my Mexican friends and me have created a good theory saying this: "That it is transmitted directly with the base that is connected to the screen without having to have the Switch connected to the base because then more or less it would have a stable connection as if it were the PS5 with the portal" Obviously Nintendo can get so much better precision doing this 🤔

[@Makeitstorm]

Pressing C will despense a cookie from the sd card slot

[@gabe5918]

Small ass cookie lmao

[@StarBoyMyio]

a small price to pay for cookie

[@Ridter]

I just have to wonder because if the button does mean chat or connect or camera then why would they make it a C? The home button doesn’t just have an ‘H’ on it

[@damndanielcruz6754]

New button is always exciting imo even if its not what we expect

[@ActualAero]

Definitely one of the more exciting parts of a system like that's so similar to its predecessor

[@SupaDaBloopa]

Realistically, it’s probably a “customizable” quick action button, where you choose what action it has. That would explain why it’s a ‘C’ and not something like a Chat icon or Cast icon.

[@brinta2868]

I don't think so. It's a stupid place for a quick action button.

[@Leo.Galhardo]

Thats really ingenious... it makes sense to use a letter and not an icon

[@Sipliks-l9g]

7:45 literally what i was thinking

[@th00perman_]

That "Switch Attach" name kinda makes sense, if you think about the top USB port and accessories/attachments like a camera or mic or something. I must know!

[@DJAMAJD]

💯

[@cqmotivation3942]

I think it’s a control button. Kinda like the steam deck where you can control the brightness and stuff in-game

[@itzyaiden]

the home button already does that if you hold it

[@queenbeeader]

Everyone keeps saying they've taken too long to show it, but really good things take time. Waiting for the right moment is better than tossing out a sloppy reveal and Nintendo is known for releasing new consoles within a few months of an official reveal - so in essence, the upcoming reveal is actually right on time (in respect to its projected release window). It will be a great system, be patient and good things will come.

[@stripedrajang3571]

I see. And when do you think Nintendo will reveal it? I hope soon.

[@BTA1991]

You guys REALIZE the USB type c on the top to have accessories... one of the accessories is going to be a snap on second screen so we can play DS and 3DS games on the switch 2 through Nintendo Online.... its obvious.

[@cyanalternation4237]

For the third back buttons that are said to be used to detach the joycons. What if somehow the c button can allow you to assign a button to those? A "choose" button or whatever, but I do hope it's something actually interesting. No idea how buttons can be used for both detaching and gameplay, but if a pro controller has them, then idk, I'm just confusing myself now.

[@ShiningStar5022]

As someone who 1st started out in the GameCube era & wasn’t able to complete a lot of games cuz I needed a link cable to a GBA, the gimmick being separate accessories you buy is the LAST THING I WANT unless you can use 3rd part peripherals or your own phone.

[@TrevorFosterTheFosterDojo]

AHH C = CURSOR BRO HERE'S THE REASON WHY: The C Button is only on ONE JOYCON. The optical sensor will only be on ONE JOYCON. Therefor the C button = Cursor

[@nova_camova7451]

The "C" stands for Cash. It's the money printing button.

[@BramTheDemon]

I'll tell you what, those who are leaking this stuff are gutsy. Amazingly stupid, but gutsy.

[@marksadler5165]

So the C is for USB C 🤯

[@richardperez5424]

@@packers12to80yes, a button that’s linked to the USB C on top of the system for accessories

[@packers12to80]

@richardperez5424 oh maybe I understood him lol

[@peytonswenson718]

It’s prolly a chat or connect button for some kinda vc or social thing

[@darwindelacruz]

The c button is for "chat" because the new switch 2 will have a social media type interface

[@spartanlocke2071]

2:35 ya was saying saw the c thought maybe like subtitles

[@nickprewitt492]

Merry Christmas Aero!

[@packers12to80]

I wish it was for connecting to a) allow the switch to connect without docking or something. Or b) allows you to connect to the switch or switch OLED And now u have a 3ds. And that's when we will get the 3ds games into the online membership That would be the dream for me. A massive better version of the 3dsxl.

[@YoursInYeshua]

It's a chat button. Are you happy now?! We're all like those kids who hunt for their Christmas gifts when our parents leave, find the hidden gifts, and then know what they all are, completely ruining our surprise. Is that we all actually prefer?! We really need to re-think making and watching all these leak videos lol

[@orangeoblivion]

If I win, I'd love Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door

[@MinecraftPony155]

Imagine a second screen so you can emulate 3ds games

[@FoundOasis]

Connect button. Let’s you chat with friends, cast to tv, connect Bluetooth devices or connect for local play with ur friends switch. This could be used for a 2 player 3d Mario or so much more the possibilities are endless

[@DoctorRover]

It means context-sensitive. [REDACTED]: Wow, just what I needed. It would seem to me that these give me just what I need at that moment in time! Oh… I see what he means, Context-sensitive. Clever!

[@zheyulee1992]

It probably is to connect to the Nintendo gadgets they might sell in the future

[@col.choros3966]

C toggle, toggles the stick somehow

[@pedrobeckup456]

If it was a K button, it would kill you Even more if you are a mechon

[@Gwosts]

C stands for Chat

[@ProtoPropski]

Control Center ? Like the Steam Deck's Power Menu

[@jayheha007]

Hopefully it’s a record button. Everyone wants to stream, record, trade videos nowadays etc

[@trashaimgamer7822]

The switch already had a record button...

[@smashbrolink]

My idea for it is kinda out there, but... What if it's a toggle to turn the right stick from Camera mode to C-STICK mode? Like, just outright making it so that the right stick functions as both & can swap between functions with a press, so we have even more "buttons" to use?

[@hellsong23]

I reckon it's to communicate with other Switches. Like, everyone presses it and the Switches sync up. Kinda like for Nintendoland multiplayer type stuff, where each Switch is doing something slightly different as opposed to all playing the same level. (= no idea lol.) Could maybe lead to using a Switch 2 as a controller to another docked Switch (and have touch screen functions like inventory and maps etc like in Windwaker Wii U.)

[@Bolt451]

Some leaker already shot this down sadly

[@hellsong23]

@@Bolt451 well. Then the only other option is copyright button. You can press it whenever you see a beach of Copyeight on Nintendo's behalf and summon a cadre of ninja.

[@elijohnson647]

I think it's going to be "calibrate". There's not a great visual to represent that, and since it's motion controls then it probably just recalibrates the motion controls.

[@broderickfoster2107]

If it were I think it’d be on both controllers since many games use one Joycon per player. I think it’s going to be a “connect” button to better assist the switch finding other players nearby to link their systems more easily for multiplayer games. Like Mario Kart on two screens rather than one screen two players.

[@kyleAGB]

CTREET PASS

[@WakoDoodle]

Is that black area on the back of the switch 2 a touch screen? Last time I saw one like that, it was on the PsVita. Was a cool idea back then.

[@broderickfoster2107]

The big area on the back is a kickstand. It’s a bigger one more in style of the OLED model’s kickstand but not fully the back. It should provide a more stable experience than the OG Switch’s stand while not being as large as OLED’s

[@saschamacdee]

AR GAMES 2.0 COMES TO SWITCH 2

[@jbomertwoeighty-five]

It might be a camcord/ar button (But it might take you to the news section or shoot cheese out of the Joystick, I dunno)

[@MrStormyDude]

The C looks like a headphone 🎧 with microphone.

[@PizzaSage]

Id love for it to be a chat button and theyve intergrated the chat into the system and move away from the app.

[@SAW_249]

it’s always and only Nintendo that has a feature that people label as a gimmick.

[@Bolt451]

Because what nintendo does in most cases only lasts one generation where as sony and Microsoft are just taking PC features like raytracing so they hold on for longer as it requires the whole industry abandoning it

[@SAW_249]

@ ohhh… is that why everyone referred to kinect as a gimmick? Or what about motion controls on the PS3 with move… cause they weren’t called gimmicky either. He’ll PS2 and PS3 had the biggest feature (aka gimmick) with essentially making gaming secondary to a DVD/Blu-ray player. Phone manufacturers putting features (3d/touch screen) into their phone, they’re never a gimmick either, it’s referred as a feature for everyone but. Point being it’s always and only Nintendo specific all the time with that word. As if to cheapen the feature.

[@Bolt451]

@ everyone called them gimmick features nobody thought Kinect was some great feature the only people I can think of who call these gimmicks feature were some of the press 3d displays where so minor of a part in smartphone history I don’t care if most people called it a gimmick or not because 3d mobile displays where seen on like 2 phone that nobody cared about bluray you could argue is a exception to the rule because it was so popular and so much of a single handed selling point it became recognised as a feature

[@SAW_249]

@@Bolt451 clearly a Sonypony. Noticed you called or would recognize phones, Xbox as maybe having gimmicks. But anything Sony did, it’s a feature. Thank you for proving the point. Also, the only reason the PS2 sold so much was because of the dvd gimmick, also known as a feature

[@Bolt451]

@ I own a Xbox and a switch my first console was a 2ds lol Sony’s motion controls were a obvious gimmick duelsense touch screen was a gimmick but everyone kinda just ignored it after launch because it was never really used or mentioned by Sony The ps2 being able to play disks was such a big and standalone feature that it became a massive selling point for the Ps2 in its own right it wasn’t a gimmick because it stood on its own and was not reliant on any other part of the ps2 unlike say Wii motion controls which were heavily reliant on game integration and software support which would eventually be it downfall from becoming recognised as a major feature it just wasn’t sustainable for every game to try to build in motion controls with the exception of shooter games which saw a huge benefit from it

It’s definitely going to be called Switch Attach 🤔

I know it would not be but I wish Miiverse or something similar was on Switch 2 😅

[@warframe3]

[@TwilightWolf032]

Before watching the video: Arlo had a video trying to guess what the C button could be, and I voiced my opinion saying it could be alluding to the the N64 C-Buttons and the GCN C-Stick, by being a function changer for the analog stick. It is paired to the right Joy Con, where the C-Buttons and C-Stick were, and the Joy-Con2 is rumored to have a different input method, so that could be a button to switch between the two modes.

[@4400seriesFAN]

And THAT button is what actually changed. It now enables/disables the NFC.

[@ten2knock]

@ 1. You got a source on that? 2. If the button is different, then why does it look the exact same? 3. Why would the NFC need to be disabled? It worked just fine being always passively on before.
