Games Inbox: What is the mystery button on the Nintendo Switch 2?

The Wednesday letters page has more complaints about Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, as a reader pits The Game Awards vs. the Oscars. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.uk. PLEASE NOTE: We are currently preparing our content for over the Christmas period and will need a number of Reader’s Features, so if you’ve been meaning to write one but never quite got round to it we could do with as many as possible before Monday, December 23.

Cast your vote. There’s been so many pictures of the Switch 2 looking almost exactly like the current one I don’t think any reasonable person can doubt that’s what it looks like. Maybe they’re prototypes, and the final version is slightly different, but it’s pretty clear it’s not going to look like a starfish or something else weird.
In a way that’s a disappointment, but really it’s only the Wii and Switch that were radically different. The Wii U as well, to a degree, although it was an extension of the Wii and the GamePad was never used for anything interesting outside of Nintendo Land.
But I do wonder if this mysterious ‘C’ button does stand for ‘cast’ and that it will turn the Switch into a GamePad, as well as letting you play games on the TV without using a dock. I think that would be really neat and it would allow Nintendo to have another crack at asymmetric multiplayer games and other weird uses for the screen, as the Wii U was really cut short before they got a chance.
