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

The excitement for the Nintendo Switch 2 is palpable as its release approaches in 2025. Fans are eagerly awaiting the unveiling of its features, and some have already caught a glimpse of the final design. Dive in to discover what's new with Nintendo's latest handheld.

Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button

The much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch in 2025, and with a Nintendo Direct scheduled for later today, April 2nd, anticipation is at an all-time high. Ahead of the Direct, Nintendo might have already dropped some hints about the Switch 2, particularly through their new smartphone app, Nintendo Today.

Nintendo's new app, Nintendo Today, is designed to keep players updated with the latest news and game information directly on their phones. Observant fans have noticed that the app's listings on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store include images that tease its features. One image prominently states, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics, and more every day."

A closer look at the image showcasing the Nintendo Switch 2 reveals what appears to be the final design of the console. This includes the newly designed Joycons and the confirmation 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 just a black square with no label, sparking speculation about its function—possibly a new social feature or sensor. Thanks to the image on the Nintendo Today app, it's now clear that this is indeed a C button. Its exact purpose, however, is expected to be fully explained during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
