Switch 2 mouse mode (such potential) (www.techradar.com)

With the official reveal of the mouse mode for the Switch 2's controllers there is the potential for so many classic games to flood the console.

Imagine what it could do with graphical adventure games, RTS games, management sims, etc.

We already know CIV VII will use the mouse, and I just hope this is just the beginning for a whole range of traditionally non-console games to finally make it to the platform.

I mean... A gaming mouse is probably cheaper than the controller alone lol

[–] lydon_feen@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But that's an alternative, and the games obviously aren't made with that in mind.

This is an integral part of the system and obviously games would specifically work with it.

It's a small game changer (IMO).

It apes what lenovo already did and will be equally janky if not worse. At least it comes bundled with the console, but, meh.

[–] Darkcoffee@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Meh is my reaction, mostly if the games are $80 USD.

[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Predicted to hit 90$. That is batshit insane.

[–] Darkcoffee@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

And I'm Canadian, so it's already almost $105... We're talking $120 if it goes to 90 USD. Noooo thanks.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But that controller comes with the console.

We get it boys, Nintendo doesn't do anything right.
