The anticipation for the Nintendo Switch 2 is reaching fever pitch as its release in 2025 draws near. Fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming Nintendo Direct on April 2nd, which promises to unveil more about this highly anticipated handheld. However, sharp-eyed fans have already caught a glimpse of the final design, thanks to a sneak peek provided by Nintendo's new smartphone app, Nintendo Today.
Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button
Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct
Nintendo's latest smartphone app, Nintendo Today, is designed to keep players updated with the latest news and game information directly from their phones. Observant fans noticed that the app's listings on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store included promotional images, one of which boldly announced, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics and more every day."
A closer look at these images reveals what appears to be the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2, complete with newly designed Joycons. What has caught everyone's attention is the confirmation of the mysterious C button located on the right Joycon. Initially spotted in January's teaser as a simple black square beneath the Home button, speculation was rife about its purpose—ranging from a new social feature to a sensor. The final design showcased on the Nintendo Today app confirms it as the C button, though its specific functionality remains a mystery, likely to be unveiled during the Nintendo Direct.
