Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button

Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct

The much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is slated for release in 2025, and with a Direct scheduled for later today, April 2nd, the excitement among fans is palpable. Ahead of the Direct, Nintendo might have already given us a sneak peek into some of the Switch 2's features, including the mysterious 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 tantalizingly promises "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, complete with newly designed Joycons and the confirmation of the enigmatic C Button on the right Joycon.

In the initial teaser for the Switch 2, released in January, the button located beneath the Home button was simply a black square without any label, leading to speculation about its purpose—whether it might be a new social feature or a sensor. Now, with the final design showcased in the Nintendo Today app, it's clear that this button is indeed the C Button. While its specific function remains a mystery, fans can expect to learn more during today's Nintendo Direct.
