Initially, the button's purpose remained unclear, but a recent promotional video showcases the button being pressed, accompanied by a jingle.

Alongside this, Nintendo previously revealed the mouse-like controls of the new Joy-Con. As the reveal event approaches, fans eagerly await the launch date, price, and key games for the Switch 2, including a new Mario Kart title.

Nintendo’s C button feels like another one of their clever, quirky twists—maybe it’s a shortcut for something unexpectedly fun, like instant replay or even a meme generator. Either way, the hype train is rolling, and I’m fully on board. The Switch 2’s little teases are giving me Wii U nostalgia vibes, but hopefully this time the gimmick actually lands with players instead of collecting dust. Fingers crossed for that Mario Kart reveal

Between the 'C' button tease and those mouse-like Joy-Con controls, the Switch 2 is already serving up some fun speculation fuel. Can’t wait to see what else they’ve got cooking
