The anticipation for the Nintendo Switch 2 is reaching a fever pitch as its release draws near in 2025. Fans are buzzing with excitement, especially with a Nintendo Direct scheduled for April 2nd. While we await the official unveiling, some keen observers have already caught a glimpse of what appears to be the final design of this next-gen handheld.

Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button

Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct

The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to revolutionize gaming once again, and the excitement is palpable with the upcoming Direct. However, Nintendo may have already given us a sneak peek of the Switch 2's features through its new smartphone app, Nintendo Today. This app is designed to deliver the latest news and game information directly to your device. Sharp-eyed fans noticed something intriguing in the app's promotional images on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store: a clear mention of "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics and more every day."

Upon closer examination of these images, it's evident that they showcase the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2, complete with its revamped Joycons. Most notably, these images confirm the presence of a mysterious new button on the right Joycon, which has been dubbed the C button. When the initial teaser for the Switch 2 was released in January, this button was merely a black square with no label, sparking speculation about its purpose—ranging from a new social feature to an innovative sensor. Now, thanks to the Nintendo Today app, we know it's officially the C button, although its exact function remains a mystery that will likely be unveiled during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
