The Switch 2 reveal has come at last. Let me give you the top lines from our ongoing Nintendo Switch 2 live coverage: it's a lot bigger, it's out this year, it's backwards compatible with Switch games (apparently with a few halfsies exceptions), a full-fat Switch 2 Nintendo Direct is coming in April alongside global hands-on events, and there's seemingly a new Mario Kart with what looks like 24-person multiplayer.
Now let me tell you the reveal I'm most excited about: the new Joy-Con controllers can seemingly double as gaming mouse-like peripherals thanks to a new sensor and a clip-on attachment with very mouse-like pads on the bottom. The total functionality of what I'm calling Joy-Con slide mode still remains to be seen, but everything shown so far lines up with leaks pointing to a full-on Mouse-Con, and it's got me dreaming of the pinpoint palm precision I enjoy on PC. After the original Switch defined the frame used by handheld PCs like the Steam Deck and its growing army of siblings, Nintendo could finally take a bite of the PC gaming pie in a cool way with its own pseudo-mouse.
