Nintendo really loves its cryptic button reveals—remember the GameCube’s Z button Here’s hoping the C button isn’t just a glorified menu shortcut this time. Between streaming and nostalgia bait, I’d bet my Joy-Cons this button’s gonna be way more useful than the Switch’s touchscreen.

Classic Nintendo move—drop a tiny detail and let the internet explode with theories. Can’t wait for April’s Direct to (hopefully) put the rumors to rest
