Nintendo has finally confirmed that the mysterious new Joy-Con button on the Nintendo Switch 2 is, in fact, the C button, as many had speculated. This confirmation comes through the newly released Nintendo Today! app, where an image clearly shows the C marking on the button.

When the Switch 2 was first revealed earlier this year, images of the new Joy-Con didn’t show any lettering on the button, which led to much speculation. Some wondered if this button might be used for functions like casting the Switch 2 to a TV wirelessly or enabling screen sharing. Others speculated it could switch the Joy-Con into a mouse mode or possibly relate to voice chat features. Now, we know it’s the C button, and its functionality seems to be connecting the Switch 1 to the Switch 2 according to a new rumor.

Now, according to insider eXtas1s, the Switch 2 might feature a unique function that allows players to connect a Switch 1 to a Switch 2 and use it as a second controller and/or secondary screen. For example, in a game like Mario Kart 2, one player could use the Switch 2 with its controllers and TV screen, while the other could use the Switch 1 as both a controller and a secondary screen. This would eliminate the need for split-screen play and buying a second controller.

At this stage, this remains one of many rumors surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2, and while eXtas1s has been accurate with some predictions in the past, not all of them have come true, so these claims should be taken with caution.

If confirmed, this would certainly be an interesting and convenient feature for many Switch 1 owners. However, the truth will likely be revealed soon, as Nintendo might present details about the Switch 2 next week during a special Nintendo Direct event.

In other news, insider eXtas1s claims that several Xbox titles could make their way to the Nintendo Switch 2. The rumored games include Diablo 4, Fallout 4, Starfield, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and many more!

We should know more about the Switch 2 next week with the Nintendo Direct for the upcoming console set to air on Aprl 2.
