Earlier this year, Pokopia convinced me that the Switch 2's gimmicky mouse controls were a worthwhile addition to the console, after all.

The short version

  • Since then, I've been trying out other games with the mouse as my primary method of control.
  • My favourites, before I picked up Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, were Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening and Balatro.
  • There's just something more satisfying about clicking to select units, or dragging and dropping cards, than there is using the D-pad.

What happened

Why it matters

But the more options there are, the better for all - from a freedom of choice and accessibility point-of-view.
