Another intriguing tease for the Switch 2 has surfaced, just ahead of the highly anticipated Switch 2 Direct announcement. While the exact function of the new C button remains a mystery, we now know the playful sound it produces when pressed.
In a brief teaser video, the C button—positioned below the home button and simply labeled “C”—is featured, emitting a charming sound effect. The video also serves as a reminder for the upcoming Switch 2 Direct, set to take place today in various time zones, where we will likely uncover the button’s true purpose.
The sound showcased in the clip is reminiscent of classic Nintendo audio design, prompting comparisons to the signature Mii sound effects. This revelation has reignited speculation regarding the button’s potential functions. Some fans are hypothesizing that “C” could imply “connect” or “community,” suggesting it could enable enhanced social features on the console.
Others are speculating that the C button might serve as a capture button, with the sound possibly emulating a screenshot notification. Additionally, there’s a theory that “cursor” could refer to the ongoing rumors about the Switch 2’s Joy-Cons featuring mouse functionality, implying that the C button could toggle between input modes.
The dedicated teaser for the C button has certainly deepened the intrigue around it, but answers are just around the corner. The Switch 2 Direct is scheduled for Wednesday, April 2, at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET, promising to unveil more about this exciting addition to the gaming world.
