Nothing special but an extra option is always a +

They gave away this tutorial for free?!? I thought we would have to pay like 25p or something after the tutorial game debacle .

Nintendo has covered all bases with the Switch 2.

We need to know how to launch the eshop first to buy welcome tour..

Now put Mario Paint and Mario Maker 3 on switch 2.
Add a zelda 2d dunger maker while you're at it.

 

[Kataploom]

Mouse, VRR, HDR, whatever... Where's my eReader app on this thing? I really wish Switch had one

 

[Mephisto40]

I give it about 6 months before they find out using it like a mouse for prolonged periods damages the controller in some way

 

[Walter Matthau]

A new Mario Paint would be amazing with my kids.

At minimum I expect the original on NSO, but would prefer a new game.

This is also easy money for a new Mario Maker or DLC package for MM2. Controllers never worked as well as the gamepad.

 

[Seomel]

What would people use this for lmao

 

[M1chl]

Looks it has terrible interpolation from the "mouse" movement to the cursor movement, but again its Nintendo so its going to suck and people will eat it

Now put Mario Paint and Mario Maker 3 on switch 2.

Kinda feels like they should be the same game.

 

[Solarstrike]

Switch II keyboard whens?

 

[rubik's dude]

Hopefully some third party will create a more ergonomic accessory that actually resembles a mouse.

 

[Spyxos]

I feel like the opposite is true, because most of your hand can remain curled, which should relieve at least some stress from your wrists.

it seems like your hand is also slightly tilted similar to the hand position of some ergo-mice.

I can't imagine it at the moment and I have ergonomic mice at home.

 

[tr1p1ex]

will have to try it out in person to see how responsive it is.

definitely lends itself to some pcgaming genres and old school pc games. And some Nintendo innovation/new ways to play. I guess we see it with the wheelchair game and maybe in Mario Party Jamboree add on?

 

[RoadHazard]

What the fuck, it works like a mouse? I'd have never thought.

 

[jshackles]

Missed opportunity that they didn't use the old Wii-style pointers

 

[CrustyBritches]

But why?

It's not like steam deck that greatly benefits from having haptic trackpads for use in desktop mode, RTS, etc.

 

[Fess]

I really don't see the point if you're not sitting at a desk. No one plays their switch that way.

Just place it on the living room table. The point is that you always have a mouse right there and you can get mouse controls, if you want, and play first person shooters and strategy games like they were meant to be played. And no digital WASD movement, still analog as on regular controllers. It'll be awesome.

I just don't see this being comfortable, lol. It's so tall and thin. I could see it doing a number on your hand after awhile.

 

[Emedan]

I don't see Nintendo doing this and not doing another Mario Paint, my money is that it's already in the works.

It doesn't seem uncomfortable to me, at least any more uncomfortable than holding a Joy Con by itself already. I tried mimicking what it'll be like by using a Switch 1 Joy Con like a mouse, and it felt fine. More comfortable than holding it by itself.

The Switch 2 Joy con is like 25% bigger, so it'll probably be even better. It's not gonna be as comfortable as a real mouse of course, but I don't think it'll be as bad as people are making it seem.

Side note, it kinda makes me with real computer mice had other I/O, like a little joystick, or haptic feedback. The standard mouse design basically hasn't changed in 30+ years, it'd be cool to try something new.

I was actually curious about doing the same just to see myself, lol. I know it's not the exact shape, but I'd imagine it's at least close enough to get an idea. Nintendo tends to be pretty good about comfort. I feel like the Joycon is the first thing I've held in awhile that feels a bit trying, and I don't even have big hands, lol.

 

[tr1p1ex]

it's all repetitive motion. carpal tunnel is waiting for every controller. ...maybe not the camera?
