One of the most exciting advancements in the Nintendo Switch 2 is the introduction of Joy-Con 2 controllers featuring mouse-like functionality for specific games. This long-requested feature caters to players who prefer using a mouse.
During a recent demonstration of the game “Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening CE” on the Switch 2, a producer showcased the use of a wired mouse connected to the console, highlighting that this input takes priority over the Joy-Con 2 controllers.
While this development is promising, it’s important to note that not all Switch 2 games may support standard mouse compatibility, and the usability of wireless mice remains uncertain. Industry insights suggest that the mouse functionality could encourage more strategy games on the platform.
Upcoming titles, such as the 3v3 sports game “Drag x Drive,” will leverage the Joy-Con 2’s mouse features significantly. Additionally, “Metroid Prime 4: Beyond” will allow players to seamlessly switch between Joy-Con 2 controls and mouse-like capabilities, enhancing aiming precision in the highly anticipated sequel.
