Nintendo confirms you will have to pay to use the Switch 2’s C button

rss.ponder.catNintendo confirms you will have to pay to use the Switch 2’s C button - Pondercat RSSA close-up picture of a Nintendo Switch 2 controller, with the C button featured prominently [https://platform.polygon.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/vlcsnap-2025-04-02-09h06m30s316.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&crop=0,0,100,100] Nintendo has made its own Discord-like chat app for the Switch 2 [https://www.polygon.com/nintendo/23899504/nintendo-switch-2-release-date-power-name-games], and it’s going to charge you for it. Once the free period is over on March 31, 2026, GameChat [https://www.polygon.com/nintendo-switch-2/550632/switch-2-game-chat-c-button-nintendo-direct-joy-con], and the C button that activates it, will require a Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) membership. So what happens if you aren’t a subscriber and press the C button? Not much, vice president of player and product experience Bill Trinen told Polygon in a recent interview. “You would be able to find out about the NSO subscription there and get a sense of some of the functionality,” he said. Presumably, this is how you’d learn that GameChat works a lot like Discord video chat works on PC. You can talk with your friends in handheld or docked mode via a built-in microphone and stream your gameplay to each other. There’s even a camera you can buy [https://www.polygon.com/nintendo-switch-2/551155/camera-usb-c-specs-details-price] to overlay onto your stream, or just to chat face-to-face. But unless you have an active NSO membership, you’ll have a whole button dedicated to nothing on your Switch 2. It doesn’t even sound like you can remap it to something else. It will just be a reminder of the $19.99 you may or may not be handing to Nintendo every year. Trinen says the C button has a price tag because GameChat is “part of the overall platform experience” and that “NSO really is a critical piece of the Nintendo Switch 2 experience.” He listed off some of the new Switch 2-exclusive benefits, like access to old GameCube games [https://www.polygon.com/nintendo-switch-2/552446/nintendo-switch-online-expansion-pack-gamecube-games-fire-emblem-wind-waker] and free upgrades to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom [https://www.polygon.com/nintendo-switch-2/550745/zelda-botw-totk-switch-2-upgrade]. That subscription fee will be on top of a console that’s already going to cost you $449.99 — or possibly more if U.S. President’s Trump’s tariffs [https://www.polygon.com/nintendo-switch-2/553133/pre-orders-delayed-trump-tariff] prompt Nintendo to increase it. We won’t know if GameChat will prove to be worth it until the Switch 2 releases in June [https://www.polygon.com/nintendo-switch-2/550849/switch-2-release-date-price]. — From Polygon [https://www.polygon.com] via this RSS feed [http://polygon.com/rss/index.xml]

New 'full' mesh optimization now available in Avoyd Voxel Editor beta.

The previous optimizer worked on 32^3 volumes as it was derived from a realtime approach. The full optimizer welds each 32^3 section by marking section-edge verts and searching for duplicates, &running a full mesh optimization using vertex collapse similar to Stan Melax's method github.com/dougbinks/BunnyLOD
