As with everything about Nintendo's unannounced new console, speculation began flying about what this mysterious "C" button could do, and now we might know as data miners have discovered in the latest version of the Nintendo Switch OS, along with System Developer Kit (SDK) leaks, the new button will introduce a feature called "Campus". According to reports Campus will enable users to engage in group and voice chat with support of up to twelve Nintendo Switch Online users simultaneously.

If true, the Campus feature would require a paid subscription to the Nintendo Switch Online service, and according to the data miners there will also be support for screen sharing. For those wondering if Campus will be similar to Miiverse, it won't be, and for those wondering about Miiverse, it was Nintendo's short-lived attempt at creating a social media network that occurred between the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.
