As a few had already speculated, it seems like there’s an optical sensor in each of the Joy-Cons, just like the ones used in computer mice. We even see the Joy-Cons scooting around on a surface in the trailer, essentially confirming the functionality.

It makes me think we’ll see games that utilize the Joy-Con as a mouse, which could be cool for more PC game ports. But what I’m really hoping for is Mario Paint 2.

All that being said, this seems like an awkward way to control something in-game.

They know queers stick them inside themselves so doctors can review the footage and check for cancer.

Just the mouse sensor.

 

[kevboard]

Mouse pointer

Swiping across it

Covering it

those are basically what kind of inputs it would support.
the latter 2 would be for more gimmicky stuff like in Mario Party Minigames.
like imagine the Wii U Nintendo Land shuriken minigame,

but instead of swiping across a acreen, you swipe across the joycon with the palm of your hand.

or maybe a minigame where your character sneaks by sleeping piranha plants, and each time they are about to wake up you have to "cover your mouth" which you do by covering the sensor... and while covering the sensor you stop moving, so you gotta time it as tightly as possible.

Maybe to reload with rail shooters

Yes, must be it:

It's needed for the new Nintendo camera setup (sold separately). It will help you control the camera remotely so you don't have to get up and stop playing your favorite Nintendo games while you help your wife record herself fucking her boyfriend.

 

[Codes 208]

What the....

Oh right... Nintendo thread. My bad.

 

[HYDE]

A sensor for wii remotes, so they can sell ports and wii controllers for Switch 2

 

[Robb]

Seems pretty obvious to me that the major thing is that It’ll functions as a mouse. But I’m sure Nintendo will have found additional uses for it with LABO 2.0, or something.

Seriously, is that really so unlikely? I could see it becoming a hit. Here's hoping!

There’s a better thread on this topic here:

In case mods would like to close this one.

I would love for Switch 2 games and ports to natively support "mouse-look" controls for speedy and accurate FPS action and the like, but that's not typical of Nintendo's branding and casual-friendly design philosophy.

I have a feeling it will be used more for cursor control for games that would benefit from that kind of interface, like Mario Maker and whatnot.

Best case scenario is all games that could benefit from mouse-look, would have that option available to the gamer. That would be great.

*ahem... checks thread...*

I mean butts and cucks and insertions.
