Describe

On Mac version it’s possible to skip cinematics (especially end one that is very long). It would be nice to have it on Switch as well, pressing the cancel button or the menu.

Research direction
Examine how cinematics are skipped on Mac (likely in Source/ or platform specific files). Identify the input handling code for Switch and add a condition to skip when the cancel button or menu is pressed. Ensure the change is consistent with the existing skip mechanism.
