Nintendo continues to build anticipation for the Switch 2 with intriguing hints about its new features, particularly a new C button. This button, located below the home button, was recently teased in a brief clip shared via the Nintendo Today app. Although its function remains unclear, we do know that pressing it produces a whimsical sound reminiscent of classic Nintendo audio cues.
The latest teaser arrives just before the upcoming Switch 2 Direct, set for April 2 at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET, which is expected to reveal more details about the device. The quirky sound has sparked speculation, leading fans to propose various possible functions for the button. Some speculate that "C" might stand for "connect" or "community," possibly indicating features focused on social interactions. Others think it might operate as a capture button, similar to a screenshot feature.
Additionally, there are theories suggesting the C button could relate to a rumored mouse functionality for the Switch 2’s Joy-Cons. As the community eagerly awaits further announcements, the mystery surrounding this new button adds an exciting layer to the upcoming console’s launch.
