- The new Nintendo Switch 2 C button may allow connection to the original switch.
- Possibility to use both systems for DS, 3DS, and Wii U games via Nintendo Switch.
- Holding the original switch may prevent system devaluation when Switch 2 is released.
It is possible that a new leak has finally revealed the purpose of the mystical C button on the right Joy-Con on the Nintendo Switch 2.
The big criticism of the Nintendo Switch 2 is that it appears to be roughly the same as its predecessor, except for Joy-Con’s new magnetic design. Fans haven’t actually seen much of the system yet, so Nintendo still has the opportunity to surprise everyone with a cool new gimmick, but now the Switch 2 looks very similar to the slightly tweaked version of the first Switch.
One major difference is the Joy-Con button on the right. This is because the Leaked Designs Show has the letter C. Fans wonder what it does. Nass may have come from the Extas1S YouTube channel, an insider in the gaming industry that described one of the features of the C button.
The C button may connect to the original switch
According to extas1s, the purpose of the C button is to allow switch 2 to connect to the original switch. This allows the player to use the switch as the controller for the new system or use the switch as an additional screen for Switch 2.
If this leak applies, then Switch 2 has a lot of possibilities. If you probably have two screens connected at once, you can use the Switch and Switch 2 combo to play Nintendo 3DS, DS, and Wii U games. This could be part of the Nintendo Switch Online expansion tier.
This also makes the player the reason they don’t sell the original switch when the new console launches. This will instantly reduce the retail value of the system as it is overflowing with inexpensive units players want to remove to fund new consoles.
The C button has been baffling fans since it was first revealed, but if these leaks are correct it could be the addition of the killer the Switch 2 needs.
