Nintendo's Switch 2 may include mouse mode feature according to new patent

Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 may feature a built-in mouse mode, as suggested by a recent patent. The patent describes a Joy-Con controller with a sensor for mouse operation, allowing it to be used like a mouse on a desk. This development follows weeks of speculation and is visible in the Switch 2 announcement trailer. The design includes buttons that could function as mouse buttons, enhancing gameplay for shooting games and potentially improving PC game ports. While similar features exist on other devices, Nintendo's implementation could encourage developers to adopt this control scheme. This may also pave the way for bringing Nintendo DS games to the Switch 2.
