Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button
With a Nintendo Direct scheduled for later today, April 2nd, the gaming community is buzzing with excitement about the forthcoming revelations. However, Nintendo might have already given us a sneak peek of the Switch 2, particularly regarding its innovative features.
Nintendo recently launched a new smartphone app called Nintendo Today, designed to deliver the latest news and game information directly to players. Sharp-eyed fans noticed that the app's promotional images on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store included a tantalizing detail: a mention of "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics and more every day."
A closer look at these images reveals what appears to be the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2, showcasing its newly designed Joycons and the confirmation of a mysterious C button on the right Joycon. When the Switch 2 was first teased back in January, this new button, located beneath the Home button, appeared as a simple black square, sparking speculation about its potential functions, ranging from a new social feature to a novel sensor.
Thanks to the images from the Nintendo Today app, it's now clear that this is indeed a C button. While its specific functionality remains a mystery, fans won't have to wait long, as it's expected to be fully unveiled during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
