Nintendo’s news app launches with a tiny Switch 2 leak

While we expected to find out much more about Nintendo's upcoming game system next week during the Switch 2 Direct event on April 2nd, a tiny new detail has been confirmed in this promo image for the new Nintendo Today news app. One of the screenshots listed in App Store and Google Play shows a Switch 2, and as VGC pointed out, features a C" label on the right-side Joy-Con's new button for the first time.

The Switch 2 images and teaser clips revealed by Nintendo until now have carefully hidden the labeling on that button, even though it's been referred to in earlier leaks. We still don't know exactly what it does, although there's been speculation that C could refer to chat or community features, or that it could tie in to the rumored mouse-like functionality. Mostly, it's just surprising that Nintendo appears to have revealed anything about its next console outside of the planned launch - we'll keep an eye on Nintendo Today to see if it has any other secrets waiting.
