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

The anticipation for the Nintendo Switch 2 is reaching a fever pitch as its release draws near in 2025. Fans are buzzing with excitement, eager to uncover what this next-generation handheld has in store. Recent discoveries have given us a sneak peek into the final design of the console, including a surprising new feature: the C button.

Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button

Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct

With a Nintendo Direct scheduled for April 2nd, 2025, the excitement is palpable. But Nintendo might have given us a glimpse of what's to come even before the big reveal. The company recently launched its new smartphone app, Nintendo Today, designed to keep players updated with the latest news and game information directly from their phones. Observant fans noticed something intriguing in the app's promotional images on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store: a mention of "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics and more every day."

A closer look at these images reveals what appears to be the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2, showcasing its revamped Joycons and the mysterious C button on the right Joycon. When the Switch 2 was first teased in January, the button beneath the Home button was just a black square, sparking speculation about its purpose—could it be a new social feature or a sensor? Thanks to the detailed images in the Nintendo Today app, we now know it's indeed a C button. However, its exact function remains a tantalizing mystery, one that will likely be unveiled during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
