Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button

The much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is slated for a 2025 release, and with a Direct scheduled for today, April 2nd, fans are buzzing with anticipation. Ahead of the upcoming Direct, Nintendo may have already dropped some hints about the Switch 2, including details about its new features.

Nintendo has recently launched a new smartphone app called Nintendo Today, designed to deliver the latest news and game information directly to players. Sharp-eyed fans have noticed that the app's listings on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store include promotional images. One such image prominently features the text "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics and more every day."

In the initial teaser for the Switch 2 released in January, the new button beneath the Home button was simply a black square without any labeling, leading fans to speculate whether it was a new social feature or a sensor. However, the final design revealed on the Nintendo Today app confirms it as a C button. The exact functionality of this button is expected to be unveiled during the Nintendo Direct.
