Fans are on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the reveal of the console's full potential. Some keen observers have already caught a glimpse of what might be the final design of this next-generation handheld. Let's delve into what we know so far about the newest addition to the Nintendo family.
Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button
The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch in 2025, and with a Nintendo Direct scheduled for later today, April 2nd, the anticipation is at an all-time high. While the Direct promises to unveil many exciting details, Nintendo might have already given us a sneak peek into what the Switch 2 has in store, including a new feature—the C button.
Nintendo has recently launched its new smartphone app, Nintendo Today, designed to keep players up-to-date with the latest news and game information directly from their mobile devices. Observant fans noticed that the app’s promotional images on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store include a clear reference to the Nintendo Switch 2, stating, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics, and more every day."
A closer look at the promotional image reveals what appears to be the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2, showcasing newly designed Joycons and the confirmation of the mysterious C button on the right Joycon. The initial teaser for the Switch 2 in January featured a black square button beneath the Home button, sparking speculation about its purpose—whether it might introduce a new social feature or a unique sensor. The final design showcased in the Nintendo Today app confirms it as a C button, though its specific functionality remains a mystery, likely to be unveiled during the Nintendo Direct today.
