Prior to the Official Unveil of Switch 2, the biggest answer to the console was the question was whether the CK button was hacked. Now we know that this is for the new console’s new game chat feature. We recently had the opportunity to question the button with the Senior Director of Nintendo Takhiro Duhata, and we have also learned what happens when you press it and the Nintendo Switch Online membership.
Since the C button is used to connect an online service, we ask double what happens if you press the button and your console is not connected to the Internet. He didn’t tell us what happens, but he confirmed that he would not do anything … bad.
He said, “Sorry, when you press the button (when you are not online), I may not be in the details or appears, but it is just assured that nothing is going to happen.”
It is nice to know when you don’t have any bad offline but press the C button, but what really happens when you press your offline? Time will tell. But now we know what happens if you press the button and the Nintendo Switch online membership.

C button is connected to NSO subscription
Game Chat is a free service for all switch 2 owners, but only up to 31 March, 2026. After that, players will need the Nintendo Switch online membership to use the game chat. Nintendo’s Bill Trainen said that anyone who is not subscribed to the NSO and presses the button from 1st April 2026. Multi.
The Game Chat needs NSO membership because it is “part of the overall platform experience”, adding that the NSO is a really important piece of “Nintendo Switch 2 experience.”
Terenin told Ign For the game chat, this idea was to create a service that plays a game in the same room on the same sofa, playing games together-other than the internet via video or sound chat.
He said, “And so for us, the game chat is that it is so important that they are able to see their faces, be able to see what they are doing from a gameplay point of view and are able to feel that you have finally got a virtual space where you can have the same experiences you can find in your residential room.” “So for that’s why I will say Switch 2, I am finally able to implement what has been the focus of a huge focus for us.”

Switch 2 has a built-in microphone that can be used to communicate with friends, while players can contact the USB-C camera to chat on the video. Nintendo 1080p camera is selling at $ 50, while Hori has a old plant camera low, and the video quality is worse.
Nintendo has also taken steps to help ensure the feature of the game chat for children. In addition, Nintendo removed the concerns that the switch 2 camera would spy on you.
It was expected that Switch 2 will start in the United States on April 9, but US President Donald Trump’s prices delayed in advance. It remains to be seen when progress can open, and many people believe that Nintendo is going to increase prices.
