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

The gaming world is buzzing with anticipation as the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 draws near, and fans are eager to uncover every detail about this upcoming handheld. Thanks to some sharp-eyed enthusiasts, we might already have a glimpse of the final design, including a mysterious new feature.

Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button

Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct

With the Nintendo Switch 2 slated for release in 2025, excitement is reaching a fever pitch, especially with a Nintendo Direct scheduled for today, April 2nd. Nintendo has cleverly dropped some hints about the Switch 2 ahead of the Direct through their newly launched smartphone app, Nintendo Today. This app, designed to deliver the latest news and game information directly to players, has inadvertently revealed more than just app features.

On the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, promotional images for Nintendo Today prominently feature the phrase "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics and more every day." But the real surprise comes when you look closely at one of these images.

The image not only showcases the final version of the Nintendo Switch 2, complete with its redesigned Joycons, but it also confirms the presence of a new C button on the right Joycon. When the Switch 2 was first teased in January, this button appeared as an unmarked black square, sparking speculation about its function—ranging from social features to a new sensor.

With the final design now visible on the Nintendo Today app, it's clear that this button is indeed the C button. However, its exact purpose remains a tantalizing mystery, one that will likely be unveiled during the Nintendo Direct later today. Stay tuned for more exciting updates on the Nintendo Switch 2!
