In the past month, there’s been an official unveiling of the Nintendo Switch 2, as depicted in a fresh trailer. Although the trailer didn’t provide extensive details, it did suggest some new features. One of these is upgraded Joy-Con controllers, which are now larger and have bigger buttons. Additionally, the trailer hinted at a potential mouse-like functionality for the Joy-Cons, although Nintendo has not yet confirmed this. However, the likelihood of this being one of the closely guarded secrets about the Nintendo Switch 2 just increased significantly. A recently discovered Nintendo patent shows the Right Joy-Con being operated like a mouse, with the player’s index and middle fingers pressing the ‘R’ and ‘ZR’ buttons instead.
As a gaming enthusiast eagerly awaiting the upcoming Nintendo Direct on April 2nd, I’ve been keeping an eye out for any hints about the Nintendo Switch 2. Recently, a patent filing caught my attention, and it looks like we might just get that unique hardware gimmick or hook that sets the new console apart from its predecessor. If you take a peek at the image below, you’ll see something familiar – it’s an intriguing glimpse into the Joy-Con patent. I can’t wait to see how Nintendo plans to revolutionize our gaming experience once again!
Utilizing Joy-Con controllers as if they were a PC mouse for Nintendo Switch 2 could unlock numerous opportunities. Primarily, this would enable Nintendo to introduce games that require a mouse, such as those in their SNES app collection, like the anticipated return of Mario Paint. However, without a mouse peripheral, these games might not be feasible due to the lack of compatible controls. Furthermore, using Joy-Con controllers could facilitate the creation of first-person shooter games like Splatoon or Call of Duty, which Microsoft has hinted at bringing to Nintendo platforms. Additionally, game developers such as EA may utilize it for bringing The Sims series to Switch. It’s also possible that original touch screen controls from the first Super Mario Maker could be simulated with this setup.
It’s important to understand that patents do not automatically mean that a company will implement the ideas they’ve patented. For example, Sony once filed a patent for a PS5 feature allowing players to use everyday items like bananas as controllers, but this idea has not come to fruition. This serves as a reminder that fans should not place too much emphasis on these potential features.
If the Nintendo Switch 2 doesn’t include a mouse-like Joy-Con feature, it would certainly be unexpected given the suggestions in the trailer. The trailer depicted the Joy-Cons in a manner reminiscent of a mouse, even making the wrist strap resemble a mouse’s tail. This seemed like a clear indication of new features, and the potential uses for such a feature appear to be numerous.
