Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button

Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct

Nintendo has launched a new smartphone app called Nintendo Today, designed to deliver the latest news and game information directly to players. Observant fans noticed that the app's listings on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store include promotional images hinting at features of the Nintendo Switch 2. One of these images boldly states, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics and more every day."

A closer look at these promotional images reveals what appears to be the complete final design of the Nintendo Switch 2, including its newly designed Joycons. Most notably, the images confirm the existence of a mysterious C button on the right Joycon. Initially, the button appeared as a simple black square beneath the Home button in the January teaser, sparking speculation about its potential as a social feature or a new sensor. Now, with its inclusion in the Nintendo Today app, it's officially recognized as the C button. However, its specific functionality remains a mystery, set to be unveiled during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
