"Nintendo has changed its banner to Mario and Luigi presenting a blank background.
Looks like the official Switch 2 announcement should be coming soon! "


This could be a nothingburger... or potentially getting ready for something Nintendo wants Mario & Luigi to present for the world.

------------------------------------------

Also here is a Switch 2 pro controller from CES:

https://www.neogaf.com/threads/switch-2-pro-controller-also-has-the-mysterious-c-button-3rd-party-controller-shown-at-ces.1679367/

As Kevboard points out, on Neogaf.... this controller also has the C button.

This in turn means this button isn't tied to the joycons but some function, the Switch 2 will have, that all controllers for it must then have.
ei. not cursor and a button to use the joycons like a mouse ect.

His guess is this could be like a "chat" button? he also mentions its positioning is close to where Sony has its "mute" button (on the dual sense).
And that its above where you would expect a microphone jack to be.


Just speculation but.... interesting take.

(others think it could be a "capture" button, used for screenshot or recording small game clips)


Also this kinda confirms the name of Switch 2 imo.... right?
So people hoping for Nintendo to go some odd route of naming again are likely wrong this time.
