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

The excitement for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 is palpable among fans, especially as its release date in 2025 approaches. With a Nintendo Direct scheduled for today, April 2nd, anticipation is at an all-time high. But it seems that Nintendo might have already given us a sneak peek at what to expect from the Switch 2, thanks to some keen-eyed fans.

Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button

Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct

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 promotional images on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store included a mention of "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics and more every day." This sparked curiosity and closer examination.

Upon further inspection, one of these images showcased what appears to be the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2. The image not only displayed the newly designed Joycons but also confirmed the existence of the mysterious C button on the right Joycon. Initially, when the Switch 2 was teased in January, the button below the Home button was a simple black square, leading to speculation about its function—ranging from a new social feature to a sensor. However, with this final design revealed through the Nintendo Today app, it's now clear that it is indeed a C button.

While the exact functionality of the C button remains a mystery, fans won't have to wait long to find out more. It's expected that the details will be fully disclosed during the Nintendo Direct later today. Stay tuned for what promises to be an exciting reveal about the Nintendo Switch 2 and its new features.
