The excitement for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 is palpable among fans, and the latest developments have only heightened the anticipation. As we approach the release in 2025, a Nintendo Direct scheduled for today, April 2nd, promises to unveil more about this eagerly awaited console. However, keen observers have already spotted some intriguing details ahead of the official reveal.
Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button
Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct
Nintendo has launched a new smartphone app called Nintendo Today, designed to deliver the latest news and game information directly to players. Savvy fans have discovered that the app's promotional images on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store contain a sneak peek of the Nintendo Switch 2. One image prominently features the text "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics and more every day."
Upon closer examination, the image showcases what appears to be the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2, complete with new Joycons and a mysterious C button on the right Joycon. The initial teaser in January only showed a black square beneath the Home button, leading to speculation about its purpose—ranging from a new social feature to a sensor. Now, thanks to the imagery in the Nintendo Today app, it's confirmed to be a C button. The specific functionality of this button is expected to be fully revealed during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
