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

The excitement for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 is palpable among fans, especially with its anticipated release in 2025.

Interestingly, some sharp-eyed fans have already uncovered a sneak peek at the final design of the Switch 2, thanks to a new smartphone app called Nintendo Today.

Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button

Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct

Nintendo's newly launched app, Nintendo Today, aims to keep players updated with the latest news and game information directly from their smartphones. Available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, the app's promotional images have sparked interest by hinting at features related to the Nintendo Switch 2. One particular image stands out, boldly stating, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics, and more every day."

A closer look at this image reveals what appears to be the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2, showcasing its newly designed Joy-Cons and, intriguingly, confirming the presence of a mysterious C button on the right Joy-Con. Back in January, when the initial teaser for the Switch 2 was released, this new button, located beneath the Home button, was simply a black square, sparking speculation about its function—ranging from a new social feature to an innovative sensor. Now, with the final design showcased in the Nintendo Today app, it's confirmed to be a C button. While its exact functionality remains a mystery, fans can look forward to having this unveiled during the Nintendo Direct today.
