After months of assembly speculation (perhaps not completely serious), the enigmatic of Switch 2 button is no longer a mystery. Nintendo has finally returned the veil in the button that captured the imagination of the Internet even before the presentation of the console, confirming that it will ignite the new voice and video function of the console when it is pressed.
Chatter’s mysterious ‘C’ button around Switch 2 started first after it was seen in several previously revealed leaks, enigmatically located below the ‘Start’ button in the Joy-Con of the right hand of the console. Speculation fantas even more after Nintendo eliminated the ‘C’ during the January presentation, leaving a markedly blank where everyone expected a ‘C’ button.
Now, however, after the return of the ‘C’ button in several bits of promotional material Switch 2, we now know that it will provide access to the new console gamechat. This provides a way of communicating with friends and family while playing a game. The voice chat is possible by a microphone integrated in switch 2, powerful enough to collect their talk while someone combines a strawberry shake, apparently, but Gamechat is not only restricted to the audio.
Players can also share their screens while chatting together, even if they play something completely different, and the playability of each player can be expanded if you want to see what they are doing more details, which should be useful to talk to someone! In addition, the video chat is also possible to use a Switch 2 camera peripheral that will be available to buy with the console the day of the launch. And in regards to the video, you can share your direct video feed or overlap your shared game. In addition, some games, including a new Mario Party title, will also use the Gamechat, placing direct food images in the game.
The game chat will require a Nintendo Switch online subuse, but will be available without a membership until March 31 of next year. In addition, parents can adjust the Gamechat configuration using the application of parental controls if, for example, you want to configure things so that permission is always required when using the game chat.
So there you have, mystery resolved! And, of course, that is far from being the only thing we have learned about Switch 2 during the last direct Nintendo showcase. To obtain everything we know about the greatly expected console, now confirmed that it will be launched in XX, see Eurogamer’s Switch 2 Hub.
