Koei Tecmo has revealed a new detail about the
Nintendo
Switch 2
, and it’s a win for anyone excited about mouse controls.
After Nintendo’s
big blowout for the Switch 2
last month, there were perhaps more questions than answers around some aspects of the console.
Some of these have been answered since, like what the
revamped eShop looks like
, what the actual
upgrades are for original Switch titles
, and how those
Game-Key cards
exactly work, but there are still several unknowns around the hardware’s functionality.
While Nintendo was perhaps holding back some of these surprises for when the
Switch 2 launches
worldwide on June 5, developer Koei Tecmo has let the cat out of the bag in regards to one feature – the console supports regular USB mice.
Last week, Koei Tecmo posted a deep dive on its Switch 2 port of strategy game Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition, which utilises the Joy-Con controller’s mouse controls.
During the video, game producer Michi Ryu demonstrated the mouse controls using the Joy-Con, which is used to move the on-screen cursor. However, later in the video, he reveals a USB mouse can be connected to the console and used in the game.
‘You can also connect a USB mouse and it will work seamlessly,’ Ryu said. ‘Once you connect the USB mouse, a message will appear in the top left indicating that the mouse is connected. When the USB mouse is connected, it takes priority over the Joy-Con 2.’
