XCOM creator anticipates Switch 2's mouse control benefits

XCOM creator Julian Gollop is optimistic about the potential of the Nintendo Switch 2, particularly its mouse controls, for strategy games. He believes this feature could allow for a successful adaptation of traditional PC-style RTS games. Gollop, who has a history of developing for Nintendo handhelds, is excited about the Switch 2's new features, including the "co-op style game chat" and the mouse functionality. He sees potential for the console to revitalize the gaming industry. Gollop is looking forward to the Switch 2's release on June 5th, and hopes it will be successful. He is also interested in developing games for the console, especially if it allows for a traditional mouse and keyboard RTS experience.
