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

The anticipation for the Nintendo Switch 2 is reaching a fever pitch as its release in 2025 approaches. Fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming Nintendo Direct on April 2nd, hoping to uncover more about this next-gen handheld. However, some keen observers have already caught a glimpse of what might be the final design of the Switch 2, thanks to a surprising source.

Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button

Nintendo has launched a new smartphone app called Nintendo Today, designed to deliver the latest news and game information directly to players. Within the app's listings on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, promotional images have been spotted that tease features of the Nintendo Switch 2. One image in particular has caught everyone's attention, boldly stating, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics, and more every day."

A closer look at this image reveals what appears to be the final design of the entire Nintendo Switch 2 console, showcasing its newly designed Joycons and confirming the existence of a mysterious C button on the right Joycon. When the Switch 2 was first teased in January, this new button—located beneath the Home button—was merely a black square, sparking speculation about its function. Some wondered if it might introduce a new social feature or a sensor.

With the final design now visible on the Nintendo Today app, it's clear that this button is indeed a C button. While its exact purpose remains a mystery, fans won't have to wait much longer. The functionality of the C button is expected to be fully revealed during the Nintendo Direct later today.
