After months of rampant speculation, Nintendo’s Switch 2-focused Direct has finally spilled the beans about the new console’s hardware. Questions like, “what does the new C button do?” and “will the Joy-Cons really have a mouse mode?” are finally answered, and in true Nintendo fashion, those answers are unexpected and a little bit baffling, but interesting nonetheless.
The Switch 2 Joy-Cons’ mouse mode was one of the most quintessentially Nintendo rumors floating around about the console. It’s a neat idea that’s kind of hard to imagine working in practice and will likely be embraced by roughly two percent of games on the console. Nintendo hinted that the rumors were true when it first revealed the Switch 2, and now the latest Direct has confirmed it.
