Glorious Tecmo released a video on Thursday showing the gameplay of the strategy game "Nobunaga's Ambition: Freshman Complete Edition" Switch 2 version.In the video, the producer demonstrated the game operation, using the mouse control function of the Joy-Con 2 on the right to manipulate the cursor on the screen.
The presenter presses the SL button of Joy-Con 2 on one side, and the prompt on the screen shows that the controller has entered mouse mode.Press the button again and the Joy-Con 2 switches back to handle mode."This feature is the same as the released Steam version, and supports left-click, right-click and scroll wheel operations." He explained, showing the analog stick that moves Joy-Con up and down in mouse mode, which is equivalent to scrolling the mouse wheel.
The video further illustrates that when using the Joy-Con 2 on the right for mouse control, the Joy-Con 2 on the left can be used to perform various shortcuts, such as speeding up or slowing down game time, or moving to different castles."For players who are used to this kind of operation, these shortcuts can make the game flow smoother," he said.
He then plugged in a standard USB mouse and confirmed that the Switch 2 hardware also supports external mouse.After the mouse is inserted, the screen will display a connection prompt, and the priority of the external mouse is higher than the mouse control function of Joy-Con 2.The video also shows how to use a USB mouse with the right hand and continue to use the left hand Joy-Con 2 with the left hand, which means that all quick handle operations are still available even if you use a standard mouse.
Although the original Switch also supports plugging in USB keyboards and mouses, it has limited practical uses because there are fewer games that support keyboard and mouse operations.The Joy-Con 2 of Switch 2 has built-in mouse control function, and the number of games that support mouse control (including USB mouse) is expected to increase significantly.
