The excitement is palpable as the Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch soon, and fans are eager to uncover every detail about this highly anticipated console. Some keen observers have already caught a glimpse of what appears to be the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2, and it's causing quite a stir among the gaming community.
Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button
Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct
The much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is slated for release in 2025, and with a Nintendo Direct scheduled for later today, April 2nd, the excitement among fans is reaching a fever pitch. However, it seems Nintendo may have already dropped a few hints about the Switch 2 ahead of the Direct, particularly regarding a mysterious new feature.
Nintendo has recently launched a 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 the Apple App Store and Google Play Store included promotional images that teased features of the app. One such image boldly stated, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics, and more every day."
Upon closer examination of the image showcasing the Nintendo Switch 2, fans were thrilled to see what appears to be the final design of the console, complete with newly designed Joycons. Perhaps the most intriguing detail is the confirmation of a mysterious C button located on the right Joycon.
In the initial teaser for the Switch 2 released back in January, the new button positioned beneath the Home button was merely a black square, leaving fans to speculate whether it might introduce a new social feature or perhaps a novel sensor. Thanks to the clear depiction in the Nintendo Today app, we now know it's indeed a C button. While its specific function remains a mystery, we can expect full details to be unveiled during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
