The anticipation for the Nintendo Switch 2 is reaching a fever pitch, and fans are eagerly awaiting its release in 2025. With a Nintendo Direct scheduled for later today, April 2nd, the excitement is palpable. However, Nintendo might have already dropped some hints about the Switch 2 ahead of the Direct, and it's all thanks to their new smartphone app, Nintendo Today.
Nintendo Switch 2 Features the New C Button
Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct
Nintendo's latest smartphone app, Nintendo Today, is designed to deliver the latest news and game information directly to players. Sharp-eyed fans have noticed something intriguing in the app's listings on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Among the promotional images, one clearly states, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics, and more every day."
Upon closer examination, the image showcasing the Nintendo Switch 2 appears to reveal the final design of the console. This includes the newly designed Joycons and, most notably, the confirmation of the mysterious C button on the right Joycon. When the initial Switch 2 teaser was released in January, the button beneath the Home button was merely a black square with no label, sparking speculation about its purpose—whether it was for a new social feature or a sensor. Now, thanks to the final design showcased in the Nintendo Today app, it's confirmed to be a C button. While its exact function remains a mystery, it's expected that all will be revealed during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
