Nintendo's decision to add mouse controls is one of few new features to really distinguish the Switch 2 from its predecessor. It's hardly ground-breaking in the same way as motion controls on the Wii – we all know how to use a mouse, after all.
Interestingly, new console Nex Playground has taken the Wii motion control idea to the next level, and removed controllers altogether. I'm not saying Nintendo needs to worry, but is it innovating in the same way as it used to? It's something former PlayStation exec Shuhei Yoshida touched on when he said, ‘Nintendo is losing their identity’ by chasing power.
