Nintendo Switch 2 Image Reveals C Button on Joy-Con

Apr 13,2025 Author: Olivia

Nintendo has officially confirmed that the mysterious new button on the Nintendo Switch 2's Joy-Con is indeed the C button, dispelling any previous rumors. This revelation came through the newly launched Nintendo Today! app, where eagle-eyed fans spotted the letter 'C' on the button in the app's promotional images on both the App Store and Google Play.

The C button first appeared alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 earlier this year, though initial images of the new Joy-Con did not feature any lettering. Despite this, earlier reports had hinted at the button's name, and now, its identity as the C button has been confirmed.

Speculation abounds regarding the function of this new button. Some believe it could be related to casting the Switch 2 to a TV wirelessly or facilitating screen sharing. Others speculate it might toggle the Joy-Con into a mouse mode or enhance group or voice chat functionalities.

PlayNintendo has scheduled a Switch 2 Direct for April 2, where we hope to learn more about the C button's purpose. In the meantime, here's a rundown of what we know about the Nintendo Switch 2:

  • The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch in 2025, likely not before June, based on hands-on event schedules.
  • It is larger than the original Switch, featuring bigger Joy-Con that resemble a mouse in design.
  • The console includes two USB-C ports, one at the top and one at the bottom, unlike the original Switch which had only one.
  • It is backward compatible, capable of playing both physical and digital games from the original Nintendo Switch, as well as Switch 2 exclusive titles. However, some Switch games may not be fully compatible.
  • A new Mario Kart game is in development specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2.
