The excitement is palpable as the Nintendo Switch 2 gears up for its much-anticipated release in 2025. Fans are on the edge of their seats, especially with a Nintendo Direct scheduled for today, April 2nd. But before the official reveal, some keen observers have already caught a glimpse of what might be the final design of the new console, thanks to a subtle hint from 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 app, Nintendo Today, is designed to keep players in the loop with the latest news and game updates directly on their smartphones. Available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, the app's promotional images have sparked a buzz among fans. One image, in particular, has caught everyone's attention by boldly stating, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics and more every day."

Upon closer scrutiny, this image not only showcases what appears to be the final version of the Nintendo Switch 2 but also reveals its newly designed Joy-Cons. The most intriguing detail, however, is the confirmation of a mysterious C button on the right Joy-Con. Initially spotted in a January teaser as a black square beneath the Home button, speculation was rife about its function—ranging from a new social feature to a sensor. Now, thanks to the Nintendo Today app, it's confirmed to be a C button. While its exact purpose remains a mystery, fans won't have to wait long, as it's expected to be unveiled during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
