A new post in the Nintendo Today app<\/a> teases the potential functionality of that C button we\u2019ve all been discussing<\/a> for months with a very Mii-like sound effect as part of the countdown to Wednesday\u2019s Switch 2-focused Nintendo Direct<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the Nintendo Today App, Nintendo released a teaser for the mysterious C button<\/p>\n

If you live in a region where it\u2019s already April 2, you may have seen a short Nintendo Today video specifically promoting the C button. Over the course of seven seconds, we\u2019re shown a Joy-Con attached to a Nintendo Switch 2<\/a> before a quick zoom into the C button. A finger presses the button. The button makes a sound<\/a>. The sound is a nonsensical mixture of an activation jingle and what sounds like a Mii speaking<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Does this mean Miis are back? Maybe! And maybe it\u2019s a sign Nintendo is launching a Miiverse-like social media platform \u2014 a fan favorite feature<\/a> from the Wii U and 3DS era \u2014 that will be launched with the C button. Listen to the sound above about a million times and get back to us.<\/p>\n

When Nintendo first revealed the Switch 2 back in January<\/a>, the new Joy-Cons showcased alongside the device featured a mysterious, unmarked button. Everyone almost immediately assumed<\/a> this meant the C button was returning after it skipped multiple console generations, speculation that was awarded earlier this week<\/a> thanks to another Nintendo Today post. Even so, we\u2019ve remained in the dark as to what the C button actually does<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whether the C button opens a new Miiverse-style chatting app, allows for saving screenshots and video recordings, or just makes a funny noise and nothing else, we\u2019re almost certain to learn more during tomorrow\u2019s Switch 2 presentation. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n
