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

The excitement is palpable as the Nintendo Switch 2's release draws near, and fans are eagerly anticipating what this next-gen console will bring to the table. Some keen observers have already managed to catch a glimpse of the final design, sparking even more curiosity and excitement. Let's dive into the details about this much-anticipated handheld.

Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button

Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct

The wait for the Nintendo Switch 2 is almost over, with the console set to launch in 2025. As anticipation builds, a Nintendo Direct is scheduled for today, April 2nd, promising to unveil more about what's to come. However, Nintendo might have given us a sneak peek into the Switch 2's features even before the Direct, particularly with the introduction of a new C button.

Nintendo recently launched a new smartphone app called Nintendo Today, designed to keep players updated with the latest news and game information directly from their phones. Sharp-eyed fans browsing the app's listings on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store noticed promotional images that included a tantalizing hint about the Switch 2. One image boldly declares, "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 Nintendo Switch 2, showcasing its revamped Joycons and the much-discussed C button on the right Joycon. When the Switch 2 was first teased in January, the button beneath the Home button was a mysterious black square, leading to speculation about its function—whether it might introduce a new social feature or a novel sensor. Now, with the final design displayed on the Nintendo Today app, it's clear that this is indeed a C button. Its exact functionality, however, remains a mystery that is expected to be unveiled during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
