The excitement for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 is palpable among fans, with the console set to launch in 2025. As anticipation builds, especially with a Nintendo Direct scheduled for April 2nd, some keen observers have already gotten a sneak peek at the final design of the new handheld.
Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button
Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct
With the Nintendo Switch 2's release on the horizon and a Direct event imminent, fans are buzzing with excitement. Ahead of the big reveal, Nintendo has given us a glimpse into what's coming with the introduction of their new smartphone app, Nintendo Today. This app is designed to keep players updated with the latest news, game information, and more, directly from their smartphones.
Observant fans have noticed something intriguing in the promotional images for Nintendo Today on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. One of these images prominently features the phrase, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics, and more every day."
A closer look at this image reveals what appears to be the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2, showcasing the new Joycons and, crucially, confirming the presence of a mysterious C button on the right Joycon. Initially, when the Switch 2 was teased in January, the button below the Home button was simply a black square, sparking speculation about its function. Theories ranged from it being a new social feature to a novel sensor.
However, thanks to the image on the Nintendo Today app, we now know it's officially a C button. While the exact functionality of this button remains a mystery, fans won't have to wait long for answers, as it is expected to be fully unveiled during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
