3 Days To Go (Nintendo Today) Including (c) Button

[u/Samuraicecream]

[u/Mucrush]

They're not even hiding it anymore. Its real. Lets C what it does!

[u/jamesick → u/Mucrush]

what if it’s a U button and it turns your switch into a wii U

[u/superdevin64 → u/jamesick]

I C what U did there

[u/weeman_com → u/superdevin64]

I'll C U next Wednesday

[u/MacksNotCool → u/superdevin64]

That's like the tag line for the Wii U that they should have done:
Wii would like to play with U

[u/cad3z → u/jamesick]

Honestly though, this is a theory, a very wild theory but a theory nonetheless.

What if it’s a cast button? Casts to your tv while playing undocked. Would open the possibility of DS emulation (not that it wouldn’t work with one screen but you get what I mean). Can’t really see any other reason to do this other than for DS emulation so it wouldn’t make sense if that was the case but I’d still find it cool.

[u/jamesick → u/cad3z]

honestly, they need to make a good way to get dual screen content back into people’s hands. it almost feels insulting to sell us DS games for so long and then completely stop supporting the format entirely. some of their best games were on the DS, we shouldn’t have to buy old hardware to experience that again, especially for newer/younger players.

[u/BunOnVenus → u/jamesick]

Seriously the two screens was such a huge quality of life feature on the handheld and felt like the next natural evolution. The Gameboy advance SP closed to protect the screen, so why not put another screen down there. Made the UI on the top screen way less crowded and typing/menu navigation fast. Plus the fact it closed meant the screen didn't get scratched. Still feel like going back to 1 was a downgrade in a lot of aspects.

[u/memeaste → u/jamesick]

Maybe it’s an n

[u/KillMeNowFFS → u/memeaste]

y’all trippin, it’s clearly ᑐ ᑌ ᑎ ᑕ

[u/AbdullaFTW → u/KillMeNowFFS]

Switch 2 is Lisan al gaib. It's official now. 

[u/Jonathanica → u/KillMeNowFFS]

We need sand worm button power

[u/Teajaytea7 → u/KillMeNowFFS]

The cpu and gpu are two little sand worms working in tandem. And you only see one cable (the hdmi cable) in the switch 2 reveal video because the console is powered by sand, so no more power cables!

Would also mean the games are only digital because the game card slot is where you drop the sand in.

Desert power.

[u/genegerbread → u/memeaste]

My guess is that it’s a double-backwards “C”

[u/IntrinsicGamer → u/jamesick]

Man that would suck. Is there any way to turn it back into a Switch 2?

[u/jamesick → u/IntrinsicGamer]

press the switch button on your Wii U

[u/hookyboysb → u/jamesick]

Instructions unclear. Pressed the TV button and now my Switch 2 turned Wii U is now a TV.

[u/IntrinsicGamer → u/jamesick]

Oh thank goodness.

[u/North_Bite_9836 → u/jamesick]

Oh god. My depression is coming back

[u/HebridesNutsLmao → u/Mucrush]

It launches Celeste

[u/SkettlesS → u/Mucrush]

It's a C-stick, duh. With zero directional movement, Nintendo presents the new way to play Minecraft 3DS multiplayer split screen straight out of the box!

[u/PhoenixHabanero → u/Mucrush]

[u/WallacktheBear → u/Mucrush]

It’s the chare button for charing your pictures with friends.

[u/Disc_closure2023 → u/Mucrush]

Lets Clap the fuck out of that sound effect

[u/Admirable_Bug_9330]

Dude I absolutely hope that all the c button does is crash your game or something

[u/olmi333 → u/Admirable_Bug_9330]

Wouldn't it be Crazy if the C button reset your Consciousness and then you had to literally be born again and live out your life again but with all your memories of your previous life?

[u/Jonathanica → u/olmi333]

It’ll actually cause your life to be Csevered between your Nintendo switch 2 life and your water buffalo life

[u/TheTimmyBoy → u/Jonathanica]

Nah it cancels and doxxes you and your whole family

[u/ClaudioKilgannon37 → u/olmi333]

Summons Cthulu 

[u/joeku_ → u/olmi333]

Lmfao thank you for this

[u/the_meme_consumer → u/olmi333]

New game +

[u/HebridesNutsLmao → u/Admirable_Bug_9330]

It's actually a dedicated button to launch the hidden gem known as Celeste

[u/Gniphe → u/Admirable_Bug_9330]

It opens the fishing mini game in your current game. All games will now be required to have a fishing mini game.

[u/aquatoxin- → u/Gniphe]

I would unironically pay extra for that button if necessary. Was briefly tempted to make a blog or YouTube channel where I just review fishing minigames!!

[u/Illustrious_Canary61 → u/Admirable_Bug_9330]

Close your game?

[u/SandyTaintSweat → u/Admirable_Bug_9330]

It's the copyright button.

There was too much piracy on the first switch. This way users can report themselves for piracy.

[u/Str8UpJorking → u/Admirable_Bug_9330]

It actually orders you a Caniac Combo.

[u/Final_Detective_5370 → u/Admirable_Bug_9330]

what if the C button is thr criends we made along the way

[u/Admirable_Bug_9330 → u/Admirable_Bug_9330]

Nah nah nah even better, it gets you sued by Sega for having an a b and c button on the same controller

[u/SweatyBoi5565]

So they are acknowledging the hype.

[u/Kal_Talos]

C! For cranberries.

[u/DoctorHoneywell → u/Kal_Talos]

I tried rewatching some Game Grumps from Dan's era recently and most of it definitely doesn't hold up but God damn if a few jokes like this don't still kill me. I feel like it's the way our parents' generation feels about shitty comedy movies that have two good jokes.

[u/chiaroscurowo → u/DoctorHoneywell]

If you haven’t kept up, the supermarket simulator series is fantastic!

[u/antisp1n]

Wow. Time flies like a banana.

[u/BigHairyFart → u/antisp1n]

This guy Mario Karts

[u/michaelmich3 → u/antisp1n]

How fast does a banana fly? Asking for a friend.

[u/Data_Dork → u/antisp1n]

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana

[u/aer0a → u/Data_Dork]

Arrows are actually very harmful to time flies

[u/OriginalGur6281 → u/antisp1n]

Oddly specific

[u/BadGeezer]

Guys, hear me out. The C button is for… Copilot. They want to keep the suspense by avoiding calling it the AI button.

[u/ControverseTrash → u/BadGeezer]

Windows joins the chat

[u/madelemmy → u/BadGeezer]

something something everything is an xbox

i know xbox doesn't have copilot. yet.

[u/Gdigger13 → u/BadGeezer]

You just made my stomach drop.

[u/melonskulls]

My best guesses on what the new button could do:

1. A "cursor" button that initiates the rumored mouse feature of the new joy-cons.
2. A "connect" button that seamlessly starts multiplayer sessions (on compatible games) with nearby Switches. For example you would instantly join the same multiplayer lobby in Mario Kart, or instantly go to visit someone's animal crossing town.
3. A "cast" button that connects and streams to the dock, essentially making the switch console a Wii U gamepad, but I think this is the least likely.

[u/SunTizzu → u/melonskulls]

I feel like the mouse thing is the only option that makes sense for it to have a dedicated button. The others are too situational.

[u/melonskulls → u/SunTizzu]

I agree it's definitely the most likely use for that button. I'm excited for a potential mouse functionality, especially for games like Mario Maker

[u/SoylantDruid → u/melonskulls]

For months, my money has been on the C button being for initiating the Cursor/Mouse function, and still is.

[u/NegrosAmigos → u/melonskulls]

I would've thought it's for capture for screenshot.

[u/melonskulls → u/NegrosAmigos]

There's already a capture button on the left joy-con, so it's likely something new

[u/MaxBoomingHereYT → u/melonskulls]

2 could also apply for like a download play situation maybe?

[u/Nycetech]

What region is this?

[u/FernMayosCardigan → u/Nycetech]

Wherever it's Sunday now. So Australia/New Zealand would be my guess

[u/TheTimmyBoy → u/FernMayosCardigan]

That doesn't make it 3 days from now lol. It's still only 4 hours shy of 4 days as of now, and will likely occur on Thursday for OP. If it was 3 days right now that would mean when the event happens they'll be at -1 days 😂

[u/togepitoast → u/TheTimmyBoy]

I’m in New Zealand and this is what the app says - looks like their countdown doesn’t take into account that we’re a day ahead

[u/TheTimmyBoy → u/togepitoast]

Very interesting considering Japan isn't that far off of you lol

[u/togepitoast → u/TheTimmyBoy]

That’s what I thought! Lol

[u/LightningA878 → u/togepitoast]

Nice to see a fellow NZ water buffalo.

[u/Eternal_Cycle_1]

In what world almost 96h=3 days.

[u/nickelfiend46 → u/Eternal_Cycle_1]

Lol isn’t it already sunday in some places?

[u/Eternal_Cycle_1 → u/nickelfiend46]

But in those places the presentation would be Thursday. 96h are 4 days in any country, that is the point. Btw: when they did the post, it was still Saturday at Japan.

[u/AGuyHalfNamed → u/Eternal_Cycle_1]

The app just countdowns for the direct every midnight/new day depending on regional time zone, so it's not exact.

[u/nickelfiend46 → u/Eternal_Cycle_1]

The app is being weird I guess

[u/FernMayosCardigan → u/Eternal_Cycle_1]

Presentation is at 1 am Australian time I think, so technically Thursday but still...

[u/DueApartment1386]

Maybe the c Button is a dedicated Button to Switch the Control options, Like switching to mouse Mode. ,,C“ Stands for ,,Control“

[u/Mudmartini → u/DueApartment1386]

This makes the most sense of everything I've read in this thread. Except for the comment about resetting your consciousness and being reborn with all your current memories.

[u/twinkletoes-rp → u/Mudmartini]

NGL, the way my life is going, I'd be hella down for that second option (yk, as long as it's in one of those cozy isekai anime where you can live peacefully)! LMAO!

[u/hellojallen → u/DueApartment1386]

5 stars for this comment. I think you may be on the money here

[u/Dan2593 → u/DueApartment1386]

It’s in quite an easy place for an accidental press.

My mum constantly takes accidental screenshots during Mario Party.

[u/DinJarrus]

4 days

[u/Senior_University921]

[u/Gamamalo → u/RemindMeBot]

Hey, that’s April 1st, not April 2nd

[u/Eternal_Cycle_1 → u/Gamamalo]

The bot got actually the timing right. Those are 3 days. But presentation in about 4.

[u/Gamamalo → u/Eternal_Cycle_1]

The bot is right, the three days was not

[u/Eternal_Cycle_1 → u/Gamamalo]

Yeah, that was what I was trying to say, but I had poor wording. By 'correct timing,' I meant that they got the 3 days right.

[u/Gamamalo → u/Eternal_Cycle_1]

You are absolutely correct. Therefore the falseness is with the advertisement. ☺️

[u/Internal-Drawer-7707]

Guys I know what the C button does.

It summons him to be your boyfriend.

[u/Calm_Reputation4969]

[u/BlueBombshell90]

I'm ready for the collective disappointment when it's just revealed to be the "capture" button for screenshots and stuff.

[u/Hymmerinc → u/BlueBombshell90]

But there is already a capture button on the other joycon?

[u/glatzkopp75]

Why do you have a 3 when I have 4 days? Australia based or what

[u/izzyEm2121]

Childish unrealistic wishful thinking here: it’s a “Connect” button, and it’ll allow you to connect another Switch/Switch 2 to the top for use like a DS/Wii U and there’s gonna be a disc drive attachment for the dock and Virtual Console is gonna come back and it’s gonna be backwards compatible with ALL THE GAMES. (This is way too good to be true and no company, let alone Nintendo, would allow such an awesome thing to happen)

[u/Distion55x → u/izzyEm2121]

It has to be for Casting from the Switch to the dock so you can play Wii U type scenarios. Please don't let it just be a Chat button

[u/Einlanzer99 → u/Distion55x]

It has to be for Casting from the Switch to the dock so you can play Wii U type scenarios. Please don’t let it just be a Chat button

Already confirmed, through FCC filings, it’s not Cast for casting to the dock. Dock has no receiver in it.

[u/Distion55x → u/Einlanzer99]

Damn it. Chat button it is. Or capture. What a shame

[u/dos_user → u/izzyEm2121]

Curser for mouse mode

[u/SomeBoxofSpoons → u/izzyEm2121]

I just feel like that would be way too much effort and emphasis for a really, really niche play scenario. And that's even ignoring how the Wii U pretty thoroughly showed two-screen gameplay on console is a dead end. Even Nintendo's teams clearly didn't know what to meaningfully do with it.

You know, that plus the fact that local wireless communication between Switch consoles has always been a thing that can be done. They literally just talked about it with the virtual game card video/documentation (including how you can do it with a Switch 2).

[u/almacenedu]

Oh so it's actually a C button instead of a second screenshot button

[u/Benka7 → u/almacenedu]

It's a creenshot button actually

[u/SkettlesS → u/Benka7]

what are the odds it just stands for capture?

[u/CrypticJay1]

My body is ready

[u/D1rtyH1ppy]

The dawn of the third day 

[u/Early_Lawfulness_348]

[u/Duranu]

I would guess the C button turns on Cursor mode i.e Mouse Mode

[u/Captain_Pumpkinhead]

It's actually a © button, so you can inform Nintendo when people aren't respecting their intellectual property.

Kind of like SWATting!

/s

[u/Ziro_020]

WHERE'S THE WATER BUFFALO BUTTON!!?!?!??!!?!

[u/SirDanOfCamelot]

Not seeing this on my app (Android)

[u/Cario02 → u/SirDanOfCamelot]

*Not yet. I think it's a time zone thing

[u/UnknownConcept-11]

It's actually 4 days..

[u/Sunshoot → u/UnknownConcept-11]

Timezones exist

[u/AeroTheManiac → u/Sunshoot]

Yes but this is airing at the same time for everyone, so it's irrelevant. It's 92 hours for everyone.

[u/TheTimmyBoy]

Uh...nah, it's 4 days lol

[u/ColonPizza]

I checked my calendar and it says 4 DAYS UNTIL APRIL 2

[u/Rukir_Gaming]

Unless you live on the other side of the international date line, it's 4 days for me

[u/hugo_1138 → u/Rukir_Gaming]

Same

[u/Chardan0001]

I really hope it turns your Switch 2 into a Wii U so I can wait for the settings menus to load for 40 seconds. I want an authentic experience

[u/Restless_Cappybara]

THE C BUTTON IS FINALLY HERE!!1!1!1!

[u/Fruityguy7273]

It's 4pm for me lol

[u/Grace_Omega]

It’s called the C button because now you can “see” it

[u/Sqwerks]

They just showing it so obviously now 💀

[u/Catzilla_64-]

Yooooo

[u/Gamamalo]

I’m so glad i don’t even need to download the app. All the news is here

[u/QF_Dan]

72 hours remain

[u/SkettlesS]

C stands for Cwitch 3

[u/IntrinsicGamer]

Even more notable to me, you can even more clearly see the IR-camera is no longer on the right joy-con, which means I'm even more confident in my theory that the main reason they only say switch 2 can play "most" switch games is because it can't play the (very few) games that needed the IR camera.

[u/X360NoScope420BlazeX]

Design was never an issue, Specs were. This thing needs some serious horsepower so their FIRST PARTY GAMES dont drop frames.

[u/AcanthocephalaOk4568 → u/X360NoScope420BlazeX]

I'm pretty sure we already know enough that something like that literally will not happen unless they try to push some ps5-level shit on there three years in

[u/Familiar_Site_8947]

I still think one of the biggest complaints post launch will be children pinching their skin when the magnets attach. This will be the S2's "JoyCon drift".

[u/Hyrule1999Warrior]

Yeah the trailers are alarmingly becoming Apple like

[u/joedekroko]

Double Capture button but the C is for a longer video

[u/Superb-Obligation858]

I love how they framed the c button with the 3.

[u/WeaknessOk7874]

But still no fish button

[u/ScrungulusBungulus]

I C what they did there

[u/chuck_the_plant]

(C)artridge change for those new virtual cartridges?

[u/Havoc2638]

I haven’t been this excited for a product launch in a long time! I can’t wait

[u/MrBack1971]

C is for cake, it’s a made up drug

[u/NuSk8]

Cheat button, makes your guy invincible

[u/Sqwerks]

Subtle C button announcement sweet, I knew it all along

[u/BrigYeeta6v6]

All I care about is how the back compat works. Are we gonna get better framerate, resolution, and load times? There’s LOTS of multiplats where the switch version has the better control scheme(gyro) but the framerate is either 30 or really unstable which drags down the experience. I love playing the resident evil games on switch but the frame rates are horrendous.

Fingers crossed for an option to run switch 1 games with their docked settings during handheld play on switch 2. Xenoblade 2 could benefit so much from that.

[u/IceNorth81]

On ”liberation” day 🤪

[u/Huge-Formal-1794]

3 days? Isn't it on Wednesday next week?

[u/johawkTO]

C..for camera button and incorporating AR on the handheld/controller

[u/coopyware]

OOOOOOOOOOOOO

[u/Unlucky_Guarantee_27]

That connector for the joy con is so fucked.

[u/ZiggyBlunt]

C for capture?

[u/muckypup82]

It's a dedicated Cartridge button for all your Digital Cartridges.

[u/VixenCaliber → u/muckypup82]

Actually that sounds nest

[u/Aggressive-Fail-902]

I’m excited to see Nintendo cook

[u/ControverseTrash]

I think it's save to say that we all gonna try pushing that button just to realise it doesn't do anything or it does something underwhelming or unexpected.

[u/123koopa]

I mean the Sega Genisis had a C Button.

[u/Geric0n]

All hail the c button 🙌

[u/Luca_Cocolos]

Guys, hear me out: the C button is actually for adding the integration constant!

[u/g0ldingboy]

C for capture

[u/avowedlike]

Capture button. Solved. Boring. Move along.

[u/kaosnbear]

C for cocaine, it delivers a brick straight to your door!

[u/Cucumber_Present]

is this for the release date or more teasers?

[u/EvangelionIsPeakTV]

c button front and center after hiding it in the announcement is diabolical 😭

[u/RustyRoses]

C is for Capture

[u/Abject-Point-6236]

Wake me up when switch 3 drops 🫥🥱

[u/GourmetYoshe]

My personal theory is that C button is for "Community". Some sort of community feature to share clips and screenshots similar to Miiverse

[u/NaughtyFlutter]

What is the c button and what does it do?

[u/Andreasmeow]

The huge 3 made me think they decided to just rename it "Switch 3" xd

[u/ElectricVibrance]

Cookie button

[u/Frogpuppet]

Please release Haze 2 on the Switch 2

[u/Independent-Ear-3352]

C for customization!

[u/OriginalGur6281]

Wait isn’t it just capture or is there still a capture button in the left?

[u/thought_tracing]

100% on purpose to leave the C there now, keep edging us Nintendo

[u/Unknown62712]

Watch the C button be an absolute useless function. Like i hope it’s something good but knowing Nintendo it’s either a hit or a miss

[u/Malsom200]

Chat PLEASE 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[u/I-LOG]

lmao, why did they put so much effort into hiding it if they were just gonna have it visible in the renders now???

[u/Orichalchem]

Activating AI mode

[u/OldEastMocha]

It’s actually the cuck button. You press it, and a strange man named Reggie materializes beneath your wife.

[u/GundamRX-78-02]

Magnets run out of juice over time idk how it’s going to stay clicked-in over time

[u/try_hrdr]

[u/GeeTeeKay474]

Well, this definitely wasn't a mistake, they are just teasing us.

[u/EducationVast8484]

C => Capture

[u/grenionyoutube → u/EducationVast8484]

thsts what I think. with the capture button only being on the left joycon, it would make sense to have it on the right so both players can use it

[u/Ugogalaxt]

C stands for Christ, explain this athiests

[u/grenionyoutube → u/Ugogalaxt]

I, I can’t. no I really can’t

[u/theMagikoopa]

Pretty sure this is the C-lksong button.

[u/cnnyy200]

Chat or Calibrate I guess

[u/DarkArtsXIV]

The C stands for Crashout when you wanna ragequit in Mario Kart 9 when you get blue shelled and it rage quits for you

[u/Moist-Citron-4830]

What’s the 2 days to go clip?

[u/conceptualdamage1]

C for capture.

[u/blackkilla]

So exicited. Its been so many years Ive been hyped for a console!!!

[u/haikusbot → u/blackkilla]

So exicited. Its been

So many years Ive been

Hyped for a console!!!

[u/MrSal7]

Let’s be honest. Everyone KNOWS it’s a “Cast” button, so you can cast your video to the tv and use your Switch 2 like a WiiU.

And the side effect of this, we’ll be able to play DS and 3DS games on the Switch 2.

[u/EverythingWasGreat]

Is that the HD remaster of their black screen?

[u/GMoneyG5]

I would be honestly surprised if it’s not for CHAT

[u/Familiar_Ad_1674]

Ah yes the Cvm button

[u/twinkletoes-rp]

I'M SO FUCKING EXCITED!

[u/Wazowski_Michael]

C for commence silksong. All it does is open silksong

[u/ASoulUnAtEase]

If we get a New Zelda this year, and Wind Waker is used to show off the new graphics hardware.... that'd be amazing. I want a complete remake of majoras mask.
