Nintendo Switch 2 is close. after A Sharp and furious .Nendendo Direct On April 2, Kyoto’s publisher took an assembly of press and influence to an event in Mid Town Manhattan, which is desperate to learn about talks and outs about mysterious new console.
The company’s intense confidentiality about the new console has not only left the players, but the developers are wondering what the company wants to keep in front and center. The Nintendo Switch was a great hit not only for the separate Joey Con -controllers for Nintendo, but also due to portability. Switch 2, it reveals, does the hardware innovation business Features of online social multi -player The device is made to the right.
But with Talking about prices And the $ 80 game that online functionality and cycle dominates, it is appropriate if the developers are wondering what are the unique opportunities for the device beyond the porting capacity. Is Joy who is able to devote time to the new mouse function while creating a new game?
Answer – based on time Matrod Prime 4: Beyond this And VII of the Civilization of the Sid MayorIs “yes.”
Joey Ko can carry more PC Games for the “mouse” mode console
Switch 2 Producer Kochi Kamovo explained in a “Ask the giant“The blog post posted through Nintendo that Joey’s mouse control format came when he was playing on the PC and estimated that Joey himself was rarely used on consoles.” Switch 2 was actually designed to support a wide range of sports by improving the system processing speed, so I thought it would be better to play a mouse. “
He also supported a theory of former Nintendo R&D general manager Gnapi Yuki’s “Literal Thinking of Technology”, which states that new products are no longer seen as “cutting edge” using widely used technology for new and extraordinary functions.
In a group question and answer held at Nintendo’s New York preview event, La Terracera Author Excel Frederick asked Kamoto about the fact that most of the places use the Nintendo Switch like a sofa, a comfortable chair, or bed, are not the ideal environment for mouse control. “We have made adjustments so that you can control the mouse on your pants,” said Kamoto.
Switching in my pants 2 Joey who did not have the possibility of dragging, but it was time to experience with click -based controls. It may have been my low expectations, but it is surprising that Joey turns to Joey and use the R/L buttons and ZR/ZL buttons as “right -click” as “right -click”. I tried to keep my expectations-this feature is not going to shatter the earth. This, at the end of the day, is a humble computer mouse.
He said, Metrod Prime 4 And Civilization vii Amazing ways are shown that “humble” can form a intoxicious compound. Prime 4Base controls are similar to them Matrod prime re -developedUpdate the original game Cube Twin Stick Scheme, supporting motion control focused on the “Lock On” feature, launched, the left trigger button. In a high -speed test, the purpose of Samos’s power cannon using the mouse felt more smooth than changing the purpose of the traditional Joey’s movement.
This is “behind” where something magic is. I Metrod Prime 4Players can only change the control schemes by changing Joey from one position to another. In literal seconds, they can regenerate to the mouse, from the mouse to the twin stick, with motion control.
Switch 2 director Takhiro Dohat explained to the game developer that the manufacturer who does not want the players to switch to the control methods can turn off this feature and make it more menu -run choice. He danced far away from explaining how it works, but there are other “unique” features that developers can benefit, pointing to Giroscope and Excelrometer sensors.

If Joey Kuns are able to open the door for such designers who can open the door for designers who can open the door to the use of traditional joy-unit on a regular basis and “mouse mode” with such a subtle switches (possibly giroscope and an acularometer, if we are trying to separate the answer.
“They were happy to hear that we were” surprised “during the game, so if nothing else, Nintendo believes that Joey is a fertile area for sports, such as a fertile area for sports. Matrod Prime 4: Beyond this.
Next let’s talk Civilization vii. At first it is a clear mental. Turn -based strategies on PC (and are already on consoles) can now have proper control of the mouse on the Nintendo Switch 2. It would have been revolutionary in 2006, it would be okay to ask in 2025 “Is that?”
But. Checking the game and chatting with Ferraks Games Executive Producer Dennis Shirk, I was hit by two amazing facts: First, the feeling of positive clicking the above is really singing in a turning environment. Many players will have a physical feeling of clicking on the Nintendo Switch 2 mouse to be more conducive to your average PC mouse.
Second, as polytheism indicated in our conversation, Switch 2 mouse has more buttons than your average PC mouse. Shirk explained that in players of ferrics and harsh civilization, it is generally believed that most devout players use custom mice with mapable macro command for more efficient empire.
Switch 2 rats are so modular or precisely designed such as Asus Rog Spatha XBut ferrics is staring at a fennel of the new Civilization vii Console players who will learn to play games on a more complicated device. He said, “We are really pleased to know how versatile it was.” “The flexibility that offers our traditional PC players to play on the go is a quick win.”
It is a clear opportunity for developers to portray the mouse friendly sports to see which new tools they could not offer before. I can imagine a game like Route Tree have died There is now a more natural home on the console.
Shirk said the ferric developers working on the switch 2 port are surprised at how many types of mouse controls worked (including the above pants). In response to Dohta’s group question and answer, he said that playing multi -player wheelchair basketball games Drag X Drive Rubing controllers in their lap was the “preferential” way to play the game.
On the title of Drag X Drive –I cannot recommend it as a good case study to use both the corners in the mouse format. Duhata explained that the demo stations set up for the preview were not an ideal game scene as both mice were located on a table in front of the player. The purpose of this game is to imitate the wheelchair running, and moving the rats forward and back to your lap is a more natural move than a full table.
When I tried the demo tables for myself, it was strange and unpleasant, making the game feel like a hollow successor Weapons As a multi -player tech demo that does not necessarily give birth to a gender or franchise. He wished that Nintendo had chosen a player puzzle game with this mechanic, as a multi -player game that is not unusually unique would be faster, and players would be less likely to experience with “dual mouse” layout.
Along with other journalists, I agreed that the table setup had created for a less favorable impression. But even though sitting appropriate, I am worried that the design of dual mice is a dead end. This should be a great opportunity for a new type of gameplay, but the date of the Nintendo Switch shows that for third -party developers, sports on the switch need to be portable for other platforms. And you can’t portray the “dual mice” game anywhere, even the PC.
It is surprising that when he put the mouse control functions to the hardware team, what kind of game Kamoto was thinking of playing. If the best ideas for mouse controls comes out of Western companies like Ferrics Games and Retro Studios, Nintendo has its own big project that really click “?”
Can Switch 2 be more than mouse mode PC ports?
In the hearts of my heart, I hope that Joey will begin a silent revolution of extraordinary strategies for the mouse function Nintendo Switch 2. At least I expect companies like Microsoft and its subsidiary Blazard Entertainment Porting Real Time Strategy Games to look like real -time strategy games from their previous catalog like sports. Age of the kingdoms II And Star Craft Ii as soon as possible. Developers that make mouse and keyboard games on the PC are expected to expect a new potential audience to tap the controller without the need for heavy.
But which mouse function can maintain a fully unique game which means specifically for switch 2? I’m not sure Coming into the preview, I admit that I was afraid that Nintendo Nintendo Switch’s ground breaking assets could not free myself: portability. I was afraid to pressure the entire line -up of the console on the pre -teased mouse function.
It looked like a bad strategy. The unique properties of Nintendo Switch Joey-Kon Controllers have not been driving widely used game mechanics with motion control and girlfriends over the past eight years. Last year’s Best Sailing Switch Games included titles included Upper to Hogwarts inheritance to Hello Kitty Island Adventure. (With Free to Play Menists Foretenite Regularly highly downloaded list).
Depending on the day, the Ashup Top Chart may not be so different from the steam top sailing list. Now these two mouse can also fade closely with friendly sports that both can find home on store fronts.
Nintendo’s pushing on the game chat as a “next big thing” for switch 2 takes pressure from the mouse function, which no longer has to lift the console’s valuable sports genders. Instead it can do a bridge to bring more PC games to the console audience, and potentially innovate with the interest of fresh audiences in mouse control.
Of all the new features of Switch 2, this is what makes me a dream of a day to develop new and unique sports developers.
