29.7.2025
During the marketing for the Switch 2, one of the most talked about aspects (perhaps because there was so little else to talk about) was the potential that the new Joy-Con 2s could be used as mice. Post-launch, there’s been almost no reason to bother. It hasn’t featured as a necessary control...
