Speculation about Nintendo’s next console has been rife for several years. The new information about the controller has led to speculation that the optical sensor in the alleged new Joy-Con could be used in games as a computer mouse, a feature that game maker used in the Super Nintendo days. As for C button, can mean “camera” or “chat” or just be a random letter assigned to another console function.
