Going off the ferocious demand for Switch 2 pre-orders, everyone's pretty psyched for Nintendo's upcoming console, but its quirky mouse controls and GameChat communication features have yet to really prove their worth. Even so, original XCOM creator Julian Gollop is fully onboard with both of those Switch 2 features, and specifically their potential for strategy games.
As part of a wide-ranging group developer interview with GamesRadar+, Gollop said he's been a big fan of Nintendo handhelds going all the way back to the original Game Boy back in 1989, adding that he's "very much looking forward to the Switch 2" and hopes it's successful "because the video game industry needs a bit of a breath of life in it at the moment, something new."
