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

The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch in 2025, and fans are buzzing with anticipation to discover what's new with this eagerly awaited console. Some keen observers have already glimpsed what could be the final design of the Switch 2. Let's dive into the details about this latest handheld.

Nintendo Switch 2 Features the New C Button

The excitement around the Nintendo Switch 2 is reaching a fever pitch as a Nintendo Direct is scheduled for today, April 2nd. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see what's in store. However, it seems Nintendo may have already given us a sneak peek into some of the Switch 2's features ahead of the Direct, including a new addition that's caught everyone's attention.

Nintendo has recently launched a new smartphone app called Nintendo Today, designed to deliver the latest news and game information directly to players. Observant fans noticed that the app's listings on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store included promotional images that explicitly mention "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics, and more every day."

Upon closer examination, one of these images showcases what appears to be the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2, complete with its newly designed Joy-Cons. Notably, the image confirms the presence of a mysterious C button on the right Joy-Con.

In the initial teaser for the Switch 2 released in January, the button below the Home button was simply a black square without any label, leading fans to speculate about its function—whether it might introduce a new social feature or serve as a new sensor. Thanks to the final design showcased in the Nintendo Today app, we now know it is indeed a C button. While its exact functionality remains a mystery, fans won't have to wait long as the Nintendo Direct later today is expected to shed light on this intriguing new feature.
