The accompanying jingle and quick CG effect does little to hint at the button&#8217;s functionality, but the fact that Nintendo is highlighting it specifically demonstrates that it&#8217;s probably going to be a pretty big deal.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" align=\"center\"><p>Nintendo has teased Switch 2&#8217;s new C button ahead of the Direct tomorrow <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4SyXfifn56\">https:\/\/t.co\/4SyXfifn56<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DAKZXPJnGC\">pic.twitter.com\/DAKZXPJnGC<\/a>\u2014 Nintendo Everything (@NinEverything) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NinEverything\/status\/1907088797176574156?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">April 1, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2025\/03\/rumour-new-switch-2-rumour-makes-wild-claim-about-mysterious-c-button\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">latest rumour doing the rounds<\/a> is that the Switch 2&#8217;s &#8216;C&#8217; button will actually allow you to connect the console to your original Switch, therefore utilising the latter as a Wii U-inspired gamepad.<\/p>\n<p>It would certainly make good use of the 150 million+ Switch consoles out in the wild, that&#8217;s for sure!
