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.
Nintendo 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.
