As of April 1, fans were on the edge of their seats in anticipation of the highly awaited Direct presentation scheduled for April 2. Interestingly, while it was still the last day of March in some regions, Japanese fans were already celebrating the big reveal day. To build hype, the newly updated Nintendo Today mobile app featured a teaser that sharply focuses on the mystery surrounding the C button.

The teaser showcases a scene where an individual presses the C button, followed by a unique sound effect that evokes various interpretations—some likening it to a connection noise reminiscent of a device syncing or even the whimsy of a tiny clown's frustration.

Three key insights can be drawn from the teaser: Firstly, Nintendo acknowledges the fervor with which fans are theorizing about the practical applications of the C button. Secondly, the dedicated spotlight suggests that the button may control an exciting or significant feature within the console. Lastly, the anticipation for next day’s Direct promises clarity about its function, quenching the fans’ thirst for knowledge.
