When the Change 2 was introduced, we realized you’ll be able to flip one of many console’s Pleasure-Con on its facet and use it as a mouse. It’s a very cool concept which may assist RTSes and RPGs play higher on Nintendo’s upcoming console. Our personal Kenneth Shepard performed round with the Change 2’s Pleasure-Con mouse options and walked away bought on the tech, saying it really works fairly nicely assuming you’ve a desk and a comfortable setup. However in the event you simply wish to use an precise USB mouse, nicely, it looks as if that shall be an choice, too, no less than in some video games on Change 2.
