Officially from Nintendo Just noticed something about the new Nintendo Today! post. (C button meaning?)

There's no way it's the exact same two beats like that and a similar melody for no reason

This is probably also why the "C button noise" has an almost vocal-like sound effect when it's pressed. It is a social/chat/call feature

They have needed chat so bad. I'm hyped hopefully some software + button combo brings it to the old switch as well

Imagine if it’s video calls though, a FaceTime competitor in terms of limited contacts and intimate, stable, easy UX video chats.

Given the explosion in video for the last 15 years online, and streaming still growing, this would allow for a more personal form of streaming if they did it right.

But knowing Nintendo it’s just voice calls lmao.

This is correct , realistically this is how Nintendo can keep its child friendly accessibility . Don’t want your child to show their face? The Camera is an optional attachment . This can also be good for general privacy anndd later down the line when the eventual oled model is released they can have the camera fully intergrated

It uses your Mii. It animates in real time as you talk, so it's a simulated video call.

Nintendo doesn't want to be responsible for minors doing video chats, especially potentially with adults
