The excitement is palpable as the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 draws near, with fans eagerly awaiting the unveiling of its features. Recent discoveries have given us a sneak peek at the final design of this highly anticipated handheld console.
Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button
Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct
The much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch in 2025, and with a Nintendo Direct scheduled for April 2nd, anticipation is at an all-time high. However, Nintendo might have already dropped some hints about the Switch 2 before the Direct. The introduction of the Nintendo Today smartphone app, designed to deliver the latest news and game information directly to players, has provided a tantalizing glimpse into what's to come.
Astute fans noticed that the app's listings on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store included promotional images. One of these images prominently displayed the message: "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics, and more every day." Upon closer examination, this image revealed what appears to be the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2, showcasing its new Joycons and the enigmatic C button on the right Joycon.
Back in January, the initial teaser for the Switch 2 showed a mysterious black square button beneath the Home button, sparking speculation about its purpose—whether it was for a new social feature or a sensor. Thanks to the image on the Nintendo Today app, it's now confirmed that this is indeed a C button. While its exact functionality remains a mystery, fans can expect a full reveal during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
