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

The excitement for the Nintendo Switch 2 is palpable as its release date in 2025 approaches. Fans are buzzing with anticipation, especially with a Nintendo Direct scheduled for later today, April 2nd. But before the big reveal, some keen observers have already glimpsed what might be the final design of the console, thanks to a new smartphone app called Nintendo Today.

Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button

Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct

Nintendo's new app, Nintendo Today, is designed to deliver the latest news and game information directly to players' smartphones. Available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, the app's promotional images have sparked significant interest. One image in particular has caught the attention of fans, featuring the text, "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, complete with newly designed Joy-Cons. The most intriguing detail is the confirmation of the mysterious C button on the right Joy-Con. When the Switch 2 was first teased in January, the button below the Home button was simply a black square, sparking speculation about its purpose. Some thought it might be related to new social features or a sensor. However, the design showcased in the Nintendo Today app confirms it as a C button, though its specific function remains a mystery that will likely be unveiled during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
