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

The buzz around the Nintendo Switch 2 is reaching a fever pitch as its release in 2025 approaches.

The excitement is palpable as the gaming community waits to see what innovations the new handheld will bring.

Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button

Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct

The Nintendo Switch 2, set to launch in 2025, has fans on the edge of their seats, especially with today's Direct on the horizon. But it appears that Nintendo might have given us a sneak peek at some features of the Switch 2 even before the Direct. A new smartphone app, Nintendo Today, designed to deliver the latest news and game information directly to players, has been released. Observant fans noticed that the promotional images on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store listings for the app included references to the Nintendo Switch 2, promising daily updates on news, game info, videos, comics, and more.

Upon closer examination of the promotional imagery, what appears to be the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2 has been spotted. The image showcases the console's updated Joycons and confirms the presence of a mysterious new button on the right Joycon, labeled as the C button. Initially, in the January teaser, this button was simply a black square without any markings, leading to speculation about its purpose—ranging from a new social feature to a novel sensor. However, with the final design now displayed on the Nintendo Today app, it's clear that this is indeed the C button. The exact functionality of this new addition is expected to be detailed during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
