Nintendo patent explains Switch 2 Joy-Cons’ “mouse operation” mode
-
I cannot adequately describe how mildly interested I am. But I guess we'll see...
-
That's your biggest takeaway from the Switch, not the fact that it's a portable console with detachable controllers that can expand to your TV!? Or is that too integral and less of a gimmick...?
-
TOTK makes me wish 3D TVs caught on.
-
The things listed were the gimmicks announced but never used.
-
I hope the next Fire Emblem uses this. Of course, they didn't use the Switch's touch screen, so I'm not holding my breath.
-
Me too, I just can't imagine a comfortable way to hold it as a mouse and better yet, didn't even notice the mouse sensors until watching it a third time after seeing all the people talking about it!
I was convinced it was just Nintendo implying the new shoulder button attachment would be called "skates" or something

Little do you know Nintendo is in with Big Orthopedic.

disagree. the wiimote was on a different level altogether. with amazing response time and accuracy. and the great many games that did take good advantage of them.
i had hopes that the joycons would be a good replacement to finally bring back the fun physical element of old wii; since it came with sports and all that. but holy hell they are so bad. not only are they bad, the quality is shit. 16 years later everyone's wii motes still work, joiycons tho? i've had to replace 4 so far and i've had the console for what, 2 years?
the joycon detachment is such a lie, they should have just bundled a standard controller and left the joycons permanently attached to all devices.

You're joking, surely. While the analog stick drift is a huge problem in terms of quality, the motion controls are objectively better. Go play Mario Galaxy on the Wii and play it in 3d All Stars on Switch and tell me the Switch version isn't better. The fact that you aren't bound to pointing directly at the screen due to the motion bar thingy is huge. The sort of tilt assist aiming in games like BotW and TotK are worlds better than any point aiming mechanics from the Wii.
Nothing I've said before is about the life span of the parts. The analog sticks breaking on Joycons sucks and is awful, but don't sit here and act like that makes the Wiimote better. Motion controls on Switch are so much better than Wii.

I know right? There's no where near enough Doritos dust on those fingers!
