We’re inNintendo Switch 2rumour season, my dudes.
Wait, is that just me?
There are a few Switch 2 features that caught my attention in the trailer.
), and how short the trailer was (would you have liked five more minutes of that?
But there were a couple of details that caught my eye.
Firstly, thenew Joy-Con.
They’ve got cool little magnets that snap onto the main console, which is neat.
But that’s not the most important part.
The Joy-Con can now act as mice.
This seems a little pointless at first glance.
Why does a Switch need a mouse?
Firstly, have you ever tried to input a password using thumbsticks?
Of course you have, you own a Switch.
While not quite a full keyboard, a mouse will help here.
But more importantly, ii will also help when simulating a Nintendo DS.
The Joy-Con Mouse-Stylus
Many Nintendo DS games utilise the console’s touchscreen in unique and innovative ways.
This makes countless DS games tricky to emulate, especially on the Switch.
Via PC emulation, you’re able to simulate a stylus by clicking with your mouse.
The Switch doesn’t have this option.
Sorry, I meant to say the Switchdidn’thave this option.
But the Switch 2 having a mouse isn’t the only evidence to support my theory.
It’s unclear what this is for.
So why does the Switch 2 have another USB-C port on the top?
Am I sure about this?
Now that one’s really unlikely, but imagine if I was right?
And if it doesn’t, I’ll eat my stylus.
Nintendo is on the cusp of grasping the back-compatibility holy grail.
I’m on the cusp of some serious stomach problems.
