The Nintendo Switch 2 is generating buzz as its release date in 2025 approaches, and fans are eagerly anticipating what this next-generation console will bring. Some keen observers have already glimpsed what might be the final design of the console. Let's delve into the details of this exciting new handheld.

Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button

Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct

The highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch in 2025, and with a Nintendo Direct scheduled for today, April 2nd, excitement is at an all-time high. Nintendo might have already given us a sneak peek at some features of the Switch 2 before the Direct, including a surprising new addition.

Nintendo has launched a new smartphone app called Nintendo Today, designed to keep players updated with the latest news and game information. Observant fans have noticed that the app's listing on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store includes promotional images. One such image boldly states, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics, and more every day."

Upon closer examination of these images, the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2, complete with its newly designed Joycons, has been revealed. One notable feature is the mysterious C button located on the right Joycon. Initially, the Switch 2 teaser from January showcased this new button as a black square without any labeling, leading to speculation about its function—ranging from social features to new sensors. Thanks to the images on the Nintendo Today app, we now know it's officially a C button. While its exact purpose remains a mystery, we can expect more details to be unveiled during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
