The excitement is palpable as the Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch soon, and fans are eagerly anticipating what's in store. Some keen observers have already caught a glimpse of the final design! Dive in to discover more about this highly anticipated handheld.

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, fans are buzzing with excitement about what's next. However, Nintendo might have already given us a sneak peek into the Switch 2 ahead of the upcoming Direct, particularly regarding the new C button.

Nintendo has 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 listings on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store included promotional images, one of which prominently states, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics, and more every day."

Upon closer examination, the image of the Nintendo Switch 2 in the app appears to showcase the final version of the console, complete with its newly designed Joycons and the confirmation of the mysterious C button on the right Joycon.

In the initial Switch 2 teaser released in January, the new button beneath the Home button was simply a black square with no label, sparking speculation about whether it was a new social feature or a sensor. With the final design now visible on the Nintendo Today app, it's confirmed to be a C button. The exact functionality of this button, however, is expected to be unveiled during the Nintendo Direct.
