The anticipation for the Nintendo Switch 2 is reaching a fever pitch as its release in 2025 draws near. Fans are buzzing with excitement, especially with a Nintendo Direct scheduled for April 2nd. But the surprises might not wait until the Direct, as some keen observers have already uncovered intriguing details about the upcoming console.
Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button
Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct
With the Nintendo Switch 2 set to launch in 2025, and a Direct on the horizon for April 2nd, the gaming community is eagerly awaiting what's next. But Nintendo might have let a few secrets slip early through their new smartphone app, Nintendo Today. This app, designed to keep players updated with the latest news and game info, has been spotted on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store with promotional images that tease more than just app features.
One particular image has caught everyone's attention, boldly stating, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics and more every day." This isn't just any teaser; it's a full reveal of the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2, showcasing its revamped Joycons and the much-talked-about C button on the right Joycon.
Back in January, when the Switch 2 was first teased, the mysterious button beneath the Home button was just a black square, sparking endless speculation about its purpose—could it be a new social feature or a novel sensor? Thanks to the final design displayed in the Nintendo Today app, we now know it's officially called the C button. While its exact function remains under wraps, fans won't have to wait long, as the Nintendo Direct on April 2nd is expected to shed light on this and more.
