"Switch 2's New C Button Unveiled Before Direct"

The excitement is palpable as the Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch soon, and fans are eagerly anticipating what's next. Some keen observers have already caught a glimpse of what might be the final design of this much-anticipated console. Let's dive into the details about the newest addition to the Nintendo family.

Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button

Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct

The long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 is slated for release in 2025, and with a Direct scheduled for later today, April 2nd, the anticipation is at an all-time high. However, Nintendo might have already given us a sneak peek into what the Switch 2 has in store, even before the upcoming Direct. This hint comes from Nintendo's newly launched smartphone app, Nintendo Today, designed to deliver the latest news and game information directly to players. Sharp-eyed fans noticed that the app's promotional images on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store feature the Switch 2, with one image clearly stating, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics, and more every day."

Upon closer examination, the image of the Nintendo Switch 2 on the Nintendo Today app appears to showcase the final design of the console, complete with its newly designed Joy-Cons. Most notably, it confirms the presence of a mysterious C button on the right Joy-Con. When the initial teaser for the Switch 2 was released in January, this button was simply a black square with no label, sparking speculation among fans about its purpose—whether it might be a new social feature or a sensor. Thanks to the final design revealed in the Nintendo Today app, it's now confirmed to be a C button. While its exact function remains a mystery, we can expect to learn more during the Nintendo Direct later today.
