To browse around the operating system, sure\u2014but that doesn&#8217;t seem like a massive necessity given the Nintendo Switch OS. There might be some games where mouse control would help, such as <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/civilization-6-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Civilization VI<\/a> or level design modes such as Super Mario Maker.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from that, though, I&#8217;d bet Nintendo has some uses up its sleeve that we couldn&#8217;t guess at, which is an exciting thought.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2493px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.28%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Lj7GU4HJAVoKq4NAVZkLpX\" name=\"nintendo-switch-2-mouse-mode-2\" alt=\"Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con dropping into an attachment\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/looks-like-the-nintendo-switch-2s-joy-cons-double-as-gaming-mice-which-is-neat-but-i-cant-help-think-about-how-i-basically-never-use-the-legion-gos-same-feature.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2493\" height=\"1403\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Nintendo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Assuming the slip-n-slide functionality demonstrated in the video is, indeed, mouse functionality, we&#8217;ll also have one more mark in the &#8220;inspired by handheld gaming PCs&#8221; column that I <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/handheld-gaming-pcs\/the-nintendo-switch-2-has-just-been-announced-and-it-looks-a-lot-more-like-a-handheld-gaming-pc-than-a-console-to-me\/\" target=\"_blank\">mischievously alluded to<\/a> earlier today.
