After months of leaks, speculation, and outright hints from Nintendo, it has been officially confirmed that the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con will 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:include mouse controls.

During those scary months when we were starved for any Nintendo Switch 2 information, rumors and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:patents emerged that the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con may have mouse controls as a control option. This was only further confirmed when the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 reveal showed one of the controllers sliding about the floor. Now, in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo has offici🐷ally confirmed this to be the case.

The mouse controls for Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers are included on both controllers, with the stream showing a player using dual mouse controls. Nintendo showed off a new wheelchair basketball multiplay🐎er game called Drag and ꦦDrive. This game has players use both Joy-Cons as mice to control the whee♔ls, with the built-in gyroscope used for shooting baskets.

It was also shown to be used as part of the new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour game (which is Nintendo's paid version of Astro's Playroom), with Ni🌼ntendo showing off a mini-golf game among other minigames and tech demos like Maraca shaking and a game where you lead a UFO through a minefield.

Finally, Nintendo showed off several games later in the stream that are used with the mouse controls. The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 versions of Super Mario Party Jamboree, and Metroid Prime 4 Beyo🌞nd support thꦛem, with Mario Party having new minigames and modes dedicated to it, while Metroid will let you play it like a PC shooter. Meanwhile, third parties like 2K confirmed that Sid Meier's Civilization 7 and Borderlands 4 will include mouse support. Plus, we saw games like Two Point Museum and Fortnite in the showreels that seem primed to use mouse controls.

Nintendo also confirmed another Joy-Con mystery, with the C button being used for a chat app that seems like Nintendo's own Discord.
