I still can’t believe the Nintendo Switch 2 has a button that only works if you pay.

I’m with Cameron: accessory manufacturers should definitely start selling cases and skins that let us delete the C button from the Nintendo Switch 2.

If Nintendo is seriously going to lock the new Chat button behind a recurring fee in 2026, even turn it into a glorified ad for Nintendo’s subscription (yes, that’s a thing), I will happily pay to make the button disappear. Dbrand, you listening?

Or just let players remap the thing!
