The C-button is all about being social with friends. This isn’t necessarily a new idea in the world of gaming, but the Nintendo Switch 2 is taking it to the next level. The button will bring up the chat feature. This screen lets you play with up to four friends, but it is so much more than that. Players can share their screen with their friends, even if they are not playing the same game. This allows players to help each other in real time and see what they see.

The C-button allows players to mute themselves and control everything about chatting with friends. The system comes with a built-in microphone so players can chat with their friends without having to have an expensive microphone. In the trailer, it showed the microphone being able to eliminate background noise and keep players engaged even with chaos happening around them.

Final Thoughts

The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct showed many awesome features of the new system, including this chat feature. This was one of the big innovations they showed for the new system. While the new specs are awesome to see, they don’t affect the players on a day-to-day basis. This chat feature could transform how families and friends game together. The ability to share screens and chat even while playing different games is something we haven’t seen before. The new system launches on June 5th.
