Nintendo commands a (re)legion of fanatics. I was downvoted back to hell for saying the mouse was meh. We’ve had that in the legion go and it’s extremely uncomfortable and not suitable for longer sessions of play. The fact they don’t go bananza with touchscreen but rather take a shitty facsimile of a mouse tells you two things: Nintendo has idiots at the helm Nintendo is dead scared of the steam deck and is actively promoting an image of “we can do pc too”
Idk about your opinion on a touch screen. For both my switch and my steam deck, over 99% of their usage has been docked. A touch screen doesn’t do anything for gamers like me. I do use a keyboard and mouse very often with my deck too.
That said the joycon “mouse” looks way too small and uncomfortable.
I’m already imagining thousands of shitty attachments made of cheap plastic to make the joycon more comfortable in mouse mode.
I hope they haven’t killed their absolutely wonderful motion controls for this, Splatoon2/3 were perfect as is.
Or just connect a regular mouse using Bluetooth. Current switch already supports it for some games.
It‘s especially evident shortly after these announcements. I was looking for a resource to summarize and comment on the Direct but most things I found were posts by what I can only describe as ecstatic fanboys. Honestly I was surprised how little the Switch 2 is actually talked about outside this bubble.

I see that comment of yours at -1, really not all that bad imo. Still dumb to downvote people for honest opinions, imo.

Yeah downvote them for saying the Nintendo Switch 3 should be a cube.
Edit: Darn.

Why would I need that when I already have a cube that plays games?!?
