Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct

With the Nintendo Switch 2 set to launch in 2025 and a Direct scheduled for April 2nd, the anticipation among fans is reaching new heights. However, it seems Nintendo might have already given us a sneak peek at some of the Switch 2's features before the Direct. One such feature is the mysterious new C button.

Nintendo has recently launched its smartphone app, Nintendo Today, designed to deliver the latest news and game information directly to players. Astute fans have noticed that the app's promotional images on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store include a mention of the Nintendo Switch 2, promising daily updates on news, game info, videos, comics, and more.

Upon closer examination of these images, the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2 is revealed, showcasing the updated Joycons and confirming the presence of the enigmatic C button on the right Joycon. When the Switch 2 was first teased in January, the button below the Home button was simply a black square, sparking speculation about its purpose—ranging from a new social feature to a sensor. Thanks to the imagery in the Nintendo Today app, we now know it's officially a C button, though its specific function remains a mystery, likely to be unveiled during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
