"Nintendo Switch 2 Image Reveals C Button on Joy-Con"

Nintendo has officially confirmed that the mysterious new button on the Nintendo Switch 2's Joy-Con is indeed the C button, as previously speculated. This revelation came through the newly released Nintendo Today! app, which showcases the button clearly marked with a "C" in its promotional images on the App Store and Google Play.

The C button was first unveiled alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 earlier this year, though initially without any lettering. Subsequent rumors suggested it was the "C" button, and those rumors have now been substantiated.

The C button has sparked a flurry of speculation among fans. Some believe it might enable wireless casting of the Switch 2 to a TV or facilitate screen sharing. Others speculate it could toggle the Joy-Con into a mouse mode or enhance group and voice chat functionalities.

Nintendo has scheduled a Switch 2 Direct for April 2, where we hope to learn more about this intriguing new feature. Here's a summary of what we currently know about the Nintendo Switch 2:

• The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch in 2025, likely not before June based on the hands-on event schedule.
