The latest Nintendo Today update has revealed how Nintendo Switch 2 mouse controls will work outside of games.
The video confirms that we’ll be able to use mouse controls within the home menu and all of the sub menu screens. Just like in-game, you’ll be able to swap between mouse controls and using the Joy-Con regularly by flipping to either side.
When you have the Joy-Con 2 on its side, a mouse (that looks pretty un-Nintendo like) will show up on screen and you’ll then be able to use the shoulder buttons to click around the screen and the analogue stick will also be able to used as a slider.
@shannongrixti The Nintendo Switch 2 mouse mode is a game-changer #NintendoSwitch2 #NintendoSwitch #MetroidPrime4 #DragXDrive #MarioPartyJamboree #WelcomeTour #Switch2 #Tech #Gaming
One of the how-to menus says that the Joy-Con 2 can be used on ed games as well, so it’s unclear what will happen in games that don’t it, but it’s very cool that it’s so integrated into the console.
@shannongrixti The Nintendo Switch 2 impressed me even more the second time around #NintendoSwitch2 #Switch2 #Nintendo #NintendoSwitch #Gaming #Tech
