Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button
Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct
With the Nintendo Switch 2 slated for a 2025 release and a Nintendo Direct scheduled for later today, April 2nd, fans are buzzing with anticipation. Nintendo has already given us a sneak peek at what to expect from the Switch 2, thanks to an update in their new smartphone app, Nintendo Today. This app, designed to keep players updated with the latest news and game info, has images on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store that hint at what's coming.
One of these images explicitly states, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics and more every day," providing a clear indication that the Switch 2 is on its way. Upon closer examination, the image showcases what appears to be the final version of the Nintendo Switch 2, complete with redesigned Joycons and the much-discussed C Button on the right Joycon.
In the initial teaser for the Switch 2 back in January, the new button below the Home button was just a mysterious black square. Speculation was rife about its function, with guesses ranging from a social feature to a new sensor. However, the final design revealed through the Nintendo Today app confirms that it is indeed a C Button. While its exact purpose remains a mystery, we won't have to wait long, as its functionality is expected to be unveiled during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
