The Switch 2's Mystery C Button Makes A Weird Sound When Pressed

Nintendo is continuing to tease the unreleased console's new C button ahead of the Switch 2 Direct
The sound in the video is a classic piece of quirky Nintendo sound design, with some comparing it to the distinctive Mii sound effects. The reveal has renewed speculation over the button's function, with the Mii comparison leading some fans to guess that the C could stand for "connect" or "community," and would enable social features for the console.
Another popular guess is that the C button is a capture button, and the sound in the video is Nintendo's take on a screenshot sound effect. Another compelling option is "cursor," tying into ongoing rumors that the Switch 2's Joy-Cons will feature mouse functionality, in which case the C button could be used to change input mode for the Joy-Cons.
The fact that Nintendo gave the button its own teaser only makes the mystery of the C button more intriguing, but it won't be long until we find out definitively what it does during the Switch 2 Direct, happening on Wednesday, April 2 at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET.
