You’ll be capable to use a USB mouse with the Nintendo Swap 2 in no less than one recreation, as a Koei Tecmo developer commentary video for the upcoming Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Full Version revealed this week. That’s nice information in case your wrists, like mine, began preemptively cramping the primary time you noticed video of somebody tipping a Pleasure-Con 2 controller on its edge for mouse mode.
Whereas demonstrating the sport’s use of the Pleasure-Con 2 as a mouse, producer Michi Ryu stops and plugs in a USB mouse. The Swap 2 shows a message that claims a mouse has been related, and he continues to play with each a mouse and his left Pleasure-Con 2, switching between them seamlessly, the identical approach you’ll be capable to travel between gyro and mouse management in Metroid Prime 4: Past.
As VideoGamesChronicle notes, the unique Swap had mouse and keyboard assist, although just some video games took benefit, just like the Nightdive-developed Turok port. (In the event you personal that recreation and by no means seen the “Mouse” choice in its enter settings, go plug in a USB mouse and keyboard and take a look at it out — you received’t wish to return.)
This time round, Nintendo is embracing mouse assist extra. For example, the corporate revealed a video to its Nintendo At this time app earlier this month, exhibiting that whenever you put a Pleasure-Con 2 on its edge for mouse mode, an onscreen pointer seems for navigating the system’s menu.
So does the Nobunaga’s Ambition video, imply a regular mouse works interchangeably with a Pleasure-Con 2 controller anyplace the place mouse management is supported? I positive hope so, however we don’t know that but. And Nintendo didn’t instantly reply to The Verge’s electronic mail asking if that was the case.
