For an FPS, I don't think some people realize how powerful it is to have a combination of having your left hand move your character on a stick and right hand for aiming. Oh, and just imagine Mario Maker or Mario Paint!

Introducing Carpul Tunnel to the next gen gamers.

Thats a cool feature, but Im still asking myself how we gonna use it when playing on the couch

Why do you even exist? This is so ridiculous

Honestly amazed at how smart this is.

The only reason why I want this to happen is so that console keyboard and mouse support starts becoming standard in games that have a PC port.

Mario Paint 2 confirmed!?

I just hope the connection part where the joy-cons connect is sturdy so it won’t break.

Interesting concept and opens up a whole new genre of games for Nintendo to explore.

I thought the parts the joycon connect into were just for the wrist strap. Never occurred to me that they were hinting at them being used as mice. Why would you need two mice? I think this might be the Switch 2 version of the IR sensor that will be used by like one game.

I just hope that (outside minigames and unique uses like WarioWare might use) it's always an option and never a requirement. I'll always use a controller over a mouse.

For a lot of games that work great on PC but weird on consoles. Would be awesome for top down creator games like the tycoon games or things like civilization

if nintendo doesn’t include it then 3rd party accessory makers will 100% fill that void

Not only that, imagine the possibilities that it opens. A fun game that you play with two mouses, or one that you play with one mouse in one hand and the joycon in the other? Nintendo can do a lot of fun stuff with it

They did call it “Switch 2”. Bigger innovation probably would’ve meant it’d be given a name of its own. Sometimes they need to improve a great idea until the next one comes along rather than forcing things. NES => SNES, PS1 => PS2 (looking externally), the DS variants, etc… all iterative & great.

It looks like there is an optical sensor on the joycon just above the console connector. They did give the controllers tails and race them across the surface, so it looks like they will have mouse capabilities.
