  More support for all controls means better accessibility is always a good thing

    You can always buy a used Switch 2 once it’s hackable.

  On the other hand, I’ll be curios how far Steam Input integration will go. Assuming these don’t self-destruct every few weeks like the original Joy-cons, these might make a neat portable controller.

  As soon as they showed the JoyCon mouse control I was hoping there would be support for standard mice. It still doesn’t do anything to steer me toward a Switch 2 over a Steam Deck, but it’s an excellent move for accessibility.

    Who’s claiming that giving away your Deck is a necessity?

      I don’t have a Steam Deck yet. Given the choice between that and the Switch 2, at this point, I’m still going with the Steam Deck.

  The gimmick gets more gimmicky.

  BUT. this is a good sign for emulators

    No idea why you’re so dismissive. Metroid Prime 4 with a proper mouse is a great outlook.

      This was actually my assumption for the mouse controller Nintendo showed.

      The real feature is full pointer support! The built in mouse is a gimmick to introduce full pointer support.

  Wooooow.

  Nintendo did it, they found the missing feature that will ensure great sales. How can I boycott Nintendo now, they have mouse support.
