Nintendo has officially confirmed that the mysterious new button on the Nintendo Switch 2's Joy-Con is indeed the C button, putting an end to the swirling rumors. This confirmation came through the newly released Nintendo Today! app, where keen-eyed users spotted the letter 'C' on the button in the app's promotional images on both the App Store and Google Play.
The C button was first showcased alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 earlier this year, but initial images of the new Joy-Con did not feature any lettering on the button. Speculation had been rife, with many believing it to be the "C" button, and now Nintendo has validated those reports.
The purpose of the C button has sparked a lot of curiosity. Some theories suggest it could be used for "casting" the Switch 2 to a TV wirelessly or for screen sharing. Others speculate it might switch the Joy-Con's functionality, such as into a mouse mode. There's also talk about it possibly being linked to new group or voice chat features.
Nintendo has scheduled a Switch 2 Direct for April 2, where we hope to learn more about the C button and other features. In the meantime, here's what we know for certain:
