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

The excitement is palpable as the Nintendo Switch 2 gears up for its much-anticipated release in 2025. Fans are eagerly awaiting the unveiling of this next-generation handheld, and some have already caught a glimpse of its final design. Dive in to discover more about the innovative features of the Nintendo Switch 2.

Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button

With the Nintendo Switch 2 set to launch in 2025, anticipation is at an all-time high, especially with a Nintendo Direct scheduled for April 2nd. While fans are eager to learn more during the Direct, Nintendo may have already given us a sneak peek at some of the Switch 2's features, including the intriguing new C button.

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 listings on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store included promotional images, one of which boldly stated, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics, and more every day."

A closer look at the image from the Nintendo Today app reveals what appears to be the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2. This includes the newly designed Joycons and the confirmation of the mysterious C button on the right Joycon. Initially, the teaser for the Switch 2 in January showed a black square button beneath the Home button, sparking speculation about its purpose—ranging from a new social feature to a sensor. However, the final design showcased in the Nintendo Today app confirms it as a C button. The exact functionality of this button is expected to be fully revealed during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
