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 later today, April 2nd. However, some keen observers might have already caught a sneak peek of what's to come, thanks to a subtle reveal in the newly launched Nintendo Today app.

Nintendo Switch 2 Features The New C Button

Functionality Will Be Revealed During the Direct

Nintendo's latest smartphone app, Nintendo Today, promises to keep players in the loop with the latest news and game information. But it's the promotional images on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store that have caught the attention of fans. One image boldly states, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics and more every day," hinting at the imminent arrival of the next-gen console.

A closer look at these images reveals what appears to be the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2, complete with revamped Joycons and a mysterious new feature: the C button on the right Joycon. Initially teased in January as a simple black square beneath the Home button, speculation ran wild about its purpose—ranging from a new social feature to an innovative sensor. Now, thanks to the Nintendo Today app, it's confirmed to be a C button, though its exact function remains a tantalizing mystery, set to be unveiled during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
