The excitement for the Nintendo Switch 2 is palpable as its release in 2025 draws near. Fans are eagerly awaiting more details, especially with a Nintendo Direct scheduled for today, April 2nd. However, some keen observers have already uncovered what might be the final design of the console, thanks to a new smartphone app called 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 deliver the freshest news and game information directly to your smartphone. Savvy fans have spotted promotional images on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store that not only promote the app's features but also tease details about the Nintendo Switch 2. One image boldly states, "Get updates on Nintendo Switch 2 news plus game info, videos, comics, and more every day."

A closer look at the image reveals what appears to be the final design of the Nintendo Switch 2, showcasing its revamped Joycons and the much-discussed C button on the right Joycon. The initial teaser for the Switch 2 back in January left fans puzzled about a black square button beneath the Home button, sparking speculation about its purpose—ranging from a new social feature to a sensor. Now, with the final design displayed in the Nintendo Today app, it's confirmed that this is indeed a C button. Its exact functionality, however, remains a mystery, set to be unveiled during the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
